The expansion of the Disney Cruise Line will not only expose new consumers to the cruise experience, but also expose the Disney brand itself, Bob IGER said on Wednesday, Disney’s accounting Q3.
Disney’s largest cruise, Disney Adventure, will start sailing in Singapore in December. The maximum occupation is expected to accommodate 6,000 to 7,000 guests. In contrast, Disney’s Wish-Class SHIPS has a capacity for about 4,000 passengers.
“This will give us a chance to think of the Disney brand as an area where you think Disney brands have all glory Disney brand preferences,” Iger said.
In addition to the adventure, Disney Destiny (Disney’s third -ranked ship) will debut in Port Lauderdale in November. Disney wrote in the management’s remarks on Wednesday, Disney Treasure, the latest ship that is currently sailing, “We have a strong start and continues to achieve.” Treasures began their voyage in December.
CFO HUGH JOHNSTON said, “Forward reservation looks great and we have very high occupancy.
The Disney Cruise Line has been booked in about half in 2026 and the proportion of new ships is much higher, he said.

Disney thought it promoted the increase in the era of passenger cruise in more consumption and treasures in the park. It also includes $ 40 million in Easter holidays, which fell in the third quarter of this year.
Disney Experience has higher costs, including about $ 30 million in the pre -opening cost associated with fate and treasure ships. For the pre -open cruise cost, $ 50 million is expected in the fourth quarter.
Disney’s theme park, especially domestic parks, are well performed. The management pointed out two anniversary and the park celebrations: Disneyland’s 70th and Hong Kong Disneyland’s 20th.
Johnston said Walt Disney World recorded record revenue in accounting Q3.
