Tokyo Disney Resort owners OLC will operate a Disney-branded cruise business that will serve Japan. This venture will include a new Disney cruise ship constructed at Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering. While it will feature guest-favorite venues and experiences, it will also make modifications as it will be designed with Japanese guests in mind. The ship will be registered and based in Japan year-round and, according to OLC, will mostly travel short distances, departing from and arriving at ports around the Tokyo metropolitan area.
