Disney has lots of new cruise ships in the works to join their Disney Cruise Line fleet, and one of those is specifically coming to Japan!

Disney Wish

Disney has partnered with Oriental Land Company to create this Japanese section of Disney Cruise Line, with the cruise-specific part of the company being called ORIENTAL LAND CRUISE CO., LTD. We know the new ship is looking to set sail in 2029, but other than that, it’s been a while since we’ve heard any news about the new addition. Now, that’s all changed — we’ve got NEWS about this incoming ship, including how much it’ll cost per person!

Previously, it was announced that the new ship would be in the Triton-Class as a sister ship to the Disney Wish, and that while the ship likely won’t set sail until 2029, “the Company is working to launch Disney cruise services in the Japanese fiscal year 2028.” Construction on the new ship is expected to begin soon, in the second half of 2026, but that’s about all the information we had — until now!

Get ready to set sail!

In a new report released by Oriental Land Co., Ltd. for the first quarter of the fiscal year, tons of new information about the upcoming ship was revealed. Starting off with the actual ship itself, it’s in the works to have approximately 1,250 rooms and house about 1,500 crew members. A total of 4,000 people will be the ship’s approximate capacity, and the ship will weigh approximately 140,000 gross tons. As for the investment needed, the ship’s body is expected to cost around ¥290 billion, with contingency funds of ¥40 billion. It’s also been confirmed that the design of the ship will be inspired by the Disney Wish, but some elements will be adapted for the Japanese market.

The report also confirms that the cruise will depart and arrive back at Tokyo International Cruise Terminal with no stops at sea, which we previously knew. However, it’s now been confirmed that cruises will be short-term, sitting between two and four nights. Guests looking to sail can expect to pay between ¥100,000 and ¥300,000 for the most traditional guest rooms, which, at current conversion rates, sits at approximately $627 to $1,880. The target audience for the new ship is families, the younger generation, and overseas inbound travelers.

The report goes on to state that the expected annual net sales and number of passengers are expected to be ¥100 billion and 400,000, respectively, within the first several years, though annual depreciation and amortization expenses in the ¥20 billion range are also expected. Finally, a second ship in the fleet will be considered when this first one is successfully on track, so yes, that means we could be seeing this fleet grow in the coming years!
