Disney turns to its biggest stars to finish its biggest ship

April 3, 2025, 9:22 AM · Disney Cruise Line has revealed the stern characters for its Disney Adventure, which sails from Singapore this December.

Disney places three-dimensional sculptures of its characters on the stern (back) of each of its cruise ships. The characters are placed in a way to make it look like they are the ones putting the "finishing touch" on the ship by painting its name and home port location on the stern. And for Disney Adventure - the company's largest ship - Disney has turned to its biggest stars.

Captain Minnie and Captain Mickey will be the stern characters on Disney Adventure, as revealed in this first look image released by Disney today.

This is Mickey Mouse's second appearance on the stern of a Disney Cruise Line ship. Sorcerer Mickey appears on the back of the Disney Dream. But it is Minnie's first time at the back of the ship. However, Minnie appears on the bow (front) of both the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure.

Here are the stern characters on the other Disney Cruise ships:

@Russel Meyer I would say three of these are not like the others... the others are not created by Disney but taken/bought form other creators.
