Disney Cruise Line will release a new documentary exploring the transformation of Disney Adventure, its first ship to homeport in Asia.

Disney Adventure: Charting a New Course will premiere from November 28 on Disney+, National Geographic and JioHotstar in selected markets. The documentary follows the ship’s development in Germany through to its arrival in Singapore.

The film looks at the creation of the ship’s seven themed areas, crew training and entertainment rehearsals, including the development of Remember, an original musical created for Disney Adventure.

It also explores Asian influences onboard, including music recorded by Indian musicians for Mowgli’s Eatery.

The documentary follows Singaporean First Officer Hanisah Valberg as the ship prepares for service, before concluding with Disney Adventure’s arrival and christening in Singapore by Robert Downey Jr. in March.

“The Disney Adventure marks an exciting new chapter for Disney Cruise Line in Asia, bringing the magic of  a Disney cruise vacation to even more families in this part of the world,” said Sarah Fox, Vice President  and Regional General Manager, Southeast Asia, Disney Cruise Line.

“This documentary takes viewers behind the scenes to meet the incredibly talented Imagineers, cast and crew who brought the ship to life. 

“We are excited to share the remarkable journey behind the Disney Adventure and celebrate the passion,  creativity and innovation that transformed this extraordinary ship into a one-of-a-kind Disney experience.”

The 208,000-tonne ship is Disney Cruise Line’s eighth and largest vessel and operates primarily three- and four-night sailings from Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore.

From December 31, selected four-night itineraries will also call at Langkawi, Malaysia.
