Disney Cruise Line has set a new record after Disney Adventure made the inaugural transit of the Panama Canal this week, marking the largest passenger vessel by both capacity and gross tonnage ever to pass through the waterway.
The transit formed part of the ship’s ongoing repositioning voyage ahead of her entry into service in Asia later this year.
Measuring 342 metres in length with a beam of 46.4 metres, Disney Adventure has a gross tonnage of 208,000 and capacity for approximately 6,700 passengers, surpassing the previous canal record held by Norwegian Bliss, which transited the canal in May 2018.
