Disney Cruise Line Launches Local Artist Series in Asia with Exclusive Collaboration by Singaporean Artist Danielle Tay

Danielle Tay, known for her dynamic murals and vivid art that celebrates the beauty of nature, has created a one-of-a-kind piece to commemorate the launch of the Local Artist Series. The artwork, which will be displayed onboard the ship, captures the essence of Singapore in Tay’s signature style. It features beloved Disney characters, including Captain Mickey Mouse and his friends, as they arrive in sunny Singapore. The painting reflects the rich cultural and natural landscape of Singapore, with lush tropical plants, exotic animals, and the iconic city skyline all coming together in a stunning visual narrative.

The piece will serve as the inspiration for a specially curated collection of merchandise available exclusively to guests aboard the Disney Adventure. This capsule collection includes vibrant tote bags, batik-print tea towels, and colorful plate sets, each infused with the same lively spirit of the artwork. In addition to these, a special lithograph, an authorized copy of the original artwork, will also be available for purchase, giving Disney fans the chance to take home a tangible piece of this extraordinary collaboration.

The Local Artist Series aboard the Disney Adventure seeks to honor the vibrant cultural and artistic heritage of Southeast Asia through partnerships with regional talents such as Danielle Tay. Her signature art style—vivid colors and lively energy—reflects her deep connection to Singapore’s lush natural surroundings. As a graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, Tay has become a celebrated figure in the Singapore art scene, with her works displayed in prestigious locations such as OCBC Banking Hall, the Esplanade, and Chan Hori Contemporary.

Beyond art galleries, Tay’s vibrant creations have also adorned spaces for global brands including Meta, Andaz Hotel, Starbucks, and the Singapore Tourism Board. She is known for her passion for enlivening spaces with joyful, nature-inspired designs, aiming to help people experience their environment in a fresh, dynamic way.

The Disney Adventure, marking Disney Cruise Line’s inaugural ship based in Asia, will set sail on captivating three- and four-night journeys, promising guests a truly unforgettable maritime adventure. Each sailing promises an exciting blend of world-class entertainment, family-friendly activities, and unique cultural celebrations that will transport guests into a world where art and adventure come together in perfect harmony.
