“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.”
Robert Downey Jr.
Disney Cruise Line has announced Academy Award-winning actor Robert Downey Jr. will be godparent for the Disney Adventure. The newest and largest ship in the fleet will home port in Singapore with its maiden voyage next month. Downey will christen the new Disney Cruise Line ship in Singapore.
“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.”
Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences and incoming Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company
Downey’s take on Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, became the foundation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, now the highest-grossing film franchise ever. His more than decade-long run as the beloved character reached its peak with Avengers: Endgame, which earned over US$2.79 billion worldwide. Downey was honoured as an official Disney Legend in 2019 and is set to return to the Marvel fold as Doctor Doom in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday, opening in cinemas on 18 December.
The new ship offers signature Disney entertainment and hospitality: character encounters; Broadway-style shows; themed stateroom and concierge accommodations; and more than 20 dining and lounge venues featuring world-class international and Asian-inspired cuisines and beverages.
