Jakarta Aktual – 16 June 2026 | Disney Cruise Line is redefining the concept of entertainment at sea by introducing celebrity-led sailings that offer unique experiences, from culinary demonstrations and wellness workshops to live performances and meet-and-greet sessions. The cruise line has partnered with popular South Korean celebrities, including chef Tommie Lee, also known as French Papa from the Netflix reality show Culinary Class Wars, to create exclusive experiences for its passengers.
As part of its 10th-anniversary celebrations, Dream Cruises, a parent company of Disney Cruise Line, launched a year-long campaign featuring a series of themed sailings headlined by South Korean celebrities. Chef Tommie Lee hosted a cooking demonstration on board the Genting Dream vessel during a two-night voyage from Singapore to Melaka, where he showcased his signature French dishes, including escargot vol-au-vent and bouillabaisse maison. The menu is available at the ship’s Bistro Restaurant until July 3, priced from $90 a person.
Dream Cruises has seen a surge in bookings at the Bistro Restaurant, with a 50% increase in certain weeks following the launch of the French Papa menu. The cruise line has more celebrity-led sailings in the pipeline, promising to deliver unique and immersive experiences for its passengers.
In a separate development, Disney Cruise Line has expanded its operations in Alaska, deploying two ships, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, for its largest deployment in the region. The Disney Magic and Disney Wonder are offering weeklong and seven-night cruises, respectively, from Vancouver, featuring scenic cruising at Dawes Glacier and the Inside Passage.
However, Disney Cruise Line has also taken steps to address safety concerns, updating its cabin decoration policy to ban decorations on hallway walls and ceilings. The new policy allows magnets on stateroom doors, but prohibits any other form of decoration in the hallways and on ceilings. This move is aimed at ensuring guest safety and maintaining the cleanliness of the ship.
Disney Cruise Line has also taken over parts of Sentosa Island in Singapore, transforming it into a magical adventure zone with play areas and photo opportunities inspired by the Disney Adventure cruise ship. The three-month campaign, A Magical Island Adventure: Let’s Set Sail With Disney Cruise Line, will run from June 24 to September 20.
In conclusion, Disney Cruise Line is pushing the boundaries of entertainment at sea with its celebrity-led sailings and unique experiences. The cruise line’s commitment to safety and its efforts to create immersive experiences for its passengers make it a leader in the industry.
