As the largest ship in the Disney fleet, a gargantuan blessing must be bestowed … I’ll do my darndest,” Downey said.“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,” added Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Experiences and incoming Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company.Downey Jr. being the ship’s godparent is quite fitting, as there will be tons of Marvel-themed activities for guests to enjoy, including Tony Starks’ Ironcycle Test Run. Alongside being inspired by the character Downey Jr. played in the MCU, it will be the first roller coaster on a Disney Cruise Line ship and the longest of its kind at sea.There will also be an ‘Avengers Assemble!’ live stage production in the open-air Disney Imagination Garden area, and a Marvel WEB Workshop inside Disney’s Oceanner Club for young recruits to “try out new Super Hero suit prototypes and conduct training simulations using top-secret Avengers technology.”Image Credit: DisneyAlongside Marvel experiences, the Disney Adventure will also feature a show called Remember that stars Wall-E, a fireworks at sea show called The Lion King: Celebration in the Sky, a Duffy and The Friend Ship live show, seven themed areas based on beloved properties from Disney, Marvel, and Pixar, dining options like Stitch’s Ohana Grill and Gramma Tala’s Kitchen, and so much more.For more in the world of Disney, check out our review of the Heroes and Villains-themed Disney Destiny after we visited Papenburg, Germany, to see it being built, and the latest details on Avengers: Doomsday, which will be released in theaters on December 18, 2026.Adam Bankhurst is a writer for IGN.
