She is the eighth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and the first and only current vessel of the Global class, with her originally planned sister ship canceled. At 208,108 gross tonnage (GT), Disney Adventure is one of the largest cruise ships in the world and the largest cruise ship ever built in Germany.

The sailings with the port call will start with two days at sea, with the Langkawi stop scheduled for the third day, and the fourth day being final day and night at sea.

Progress was slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which contributed to the financial collapse of MV Werften and Genting. Disney purchased the vessel in 2022, estimated to be 60–80 percent complete, for €40 million—far below its original €1 billion valuation. After the acquisition,...
