Modeled after the Wish, Disney's largest cruise ship, the new vessel will be operated by OLC, which also runs Tokyo Disneyland. Alongside the Tokyo-based cruise, Disney has plans for three other ships, including a Singapore-based vessel set to sail in 2025.
The Tokyo cruise ship will have a capacity of 4,000 passengers and is projected to generate 100 billion yen ($621.77 million) annually within a few years of its launch, according to OLC. Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences, emphasized the ship's accessibility for Japanese guests, who are among Disney's most loyal fans.
