Disney presents an exciting voyage through its adventure: The Ocean Giant is in the spotlight
Disney Adventure: Scheduled Departure and Test Cruise in Wismar, Germany
The much-anticipated Disney Adventure cruise ship is set to depart from the Wismar shipyard on August 30, 2025, marking the start of its sea trials and test cruises. This historic event will take place in the Baltic Sea near Wismar, making it one of the most spectacular cruise ship movements in the area for 2025.
The Disney Adventure, the first Disney ship built primarily for the Asian market, will measure 342 meters and boast an impressive 208,000 gross tons. It will be homeported in Singapore and will carry about 6,700 passengers and 2,500 crew members.
For those eager to witness this momentous occasion, there are several ideal viewing locations in and around Wismar. The port area in Wismar itself, where the shipyard is located, offers close-up views of the ship as it leaves the dock. Harbor viewpoints along the Wismar coast provide panoramic perspectives of the ship as it maneuvers and heads out to sea. Nearby elevated spots or public parks overlooking the Baltic Sea that face the shipyard or its exit routes could also offer good vantage points for enthusiasts and photographers.
Following sea trials, the ship will stop in the Port of Mukran on Rügen for refueling. It is then planned to arrive in Bremerhaven on September 8, 2025, and subsequently dock in Eemshaven, Netherlands on September 20–21 for crew embarkation and further preparations before final completion by October 5, 2025. After finishing outfitting, the Disney Adventure will depart Europe on October 6, 2025, for its delivery voyage to Singapore, where it will begin operations with its maiden voyage set for December 15, 2025.
