Disney Cruise Line has made a splash with the announcement that Academy Award-winning actor and Disney Legend Robert Downey Jr. will serve as the official godparent of the Disney Adventure.
This appointment marks a significant milestone for the fleet's newest and largest ship, which is scheduled to begin its inaugural sailings from Singapore on March 10. As the first Disney vessel to be home-ported year-round in Asia, the ship represents a historic expansion for the brand.
The choice of Downey is a natural fit for a vessel that heavily features Marvel-themed experiences. His era-defining work as Tony Stark served as the bedrock of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a franchise that has redefined global box office records. While his decade-long run as Iron Man concluded with the historic success of Avengers: Endgame, his relationship with the studio continues to evolve; he was named a Disney Legend in 2019 and is set to return to the screen as Doctor Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

The actor shared his enthusiasm for the role and the sheer scale of the 1,122-foot vessel. “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,” Downey stated.
