Marvelous Disney Legend Named Disney Adventure Godparent

The new ship sets sail from Singapore next month.

With the Disney Adventure setting off on its maiden voyage next month, a godparent for the newest Disney Cruise Line ship has just been named.

What's Happening:

  • Disney Cruise Line has just announced a heroic godparent for its new Disney Adventure ship.
  • The godparent is noneother than Disney Legend Robert Downey Jr.
  • Naturally, the choice makes sense as the ship will feature a number of exclusive Marvel experiences.
  • Downey Jr. of course played Tony Stark/Iron Man in numerous Marvel Cinematic Universe films and is now set to play Victor Von Doom in Avengers: Doomsday.

  • Soon-to-be Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro shared a photo of Downey Jr. (and others) aboard the ship.

  • It's unlikely that the photo was taken today, as the Disney Adventure just pulled into Japan before heading to its homeport in Singapore.

  • The Disney Adventure's maiden voyage is set for March 10.

Past Disney Cruise Line Godparents:

  • Disney Destiny: Susan Egan
  • Disney Treasure: Cast, crew, Imagineers, and employees of The Walt Disney Company worldwide
  • Disney Wish: Make-A-Wish children (past, present, and future)
  • Disney Fantasy: Mariah Carey
  • Disney Dream: Jennifer Hudson
  • Disney Wonder: Tinker Bell
  • Disney Magic: Patricia Disney

What They're Saying:

  • Josh D’Amaro (Chairman, Disney Experiences and incoming Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company): "Our new ship continues Disney Cruise Line’s tradition of bringing great stories to life at sea, and we are honored that Robert Downey Jr., who has guided audiences through unforgettable Marvel stories, is the official godparent for the Disney Adventure."
  • Robert Downey Jr.: "It’s impossible to describe the majesty of the Adventure, and to be its godparent is an honor. As the largest ship in the Disney fleet, a gargantuan blessing must be bestowed … I’ll do my darndest."
