Disney 8 (Ex-Global Dream) Deployed to Singapore from 2025-2030

DCL has just announced that DCL will deploy it's largest ship out of Singapore starting from 2025-2030. This is amazing for us. We have always wanted something Disney in our country and now we are being served. So thrilled to be able to try the inaugural trip when it opens for sale! She will sail around South East Asia is what some news outlets have said.

It looks like Disney is coming in with all guns blazing.  I hope they are successful where so many other cruise lines have failed in Asia.  Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Costa, and Princess all built mega-ships specifically designed for the region and all but one ship from Royal Caribbean (Spectrum of the Seas) failed and were quickly withdrawn and sent to other areas shortly after debuting.

 

The industry in Singapore is certainly much more stable than China, but it will definitely be a challenge filling such a large ship that does not have a casino.  I hope I'm wrong.

For one thing Disney has experience catering to the culture with their parks, something the incumbent cruise lines did not have.

I think India would have been a good home port for the ship.
