Fun, relaxation and luxury reimagined, with Disney Cruise Line's Concierge service
When Disney Adventure embarks on its maiden voyage on Dec 15, it will mark more than just the launch of Disney's first Asia-based ship – it will usher in a new era of nautical joy. And with Disney Cruise Line's Concierge service, sailing the high seas takes on an entirely new meaning.
Guests familiar with Disney's signature hospitality know that every detail is considered. But Concierge service elevates the experience even further. With attentive service, elegant staterooms and access to exclusive spaces, your voyage becomes something truly extraordinary – where magic waits around every corner, in every moment.
As Concierge guests, you'll unlock a new tier of luxury, whether you are adults seeking relaxation or families who appreciate a touch of extra attention from the Disney team.
This is Disney magic, reimagined: Refined suites, private areas and a dedicated team that curates your experience from the very start. There's no need to stress over planning – your itinerary is tailored to your preferences, and personalised service ensures your needs are met before you even ask.
The Concierge journey begins before you board. Priority check-in and seamless embarkation set a relaxed tone for the voyage ahead. On board, your spacious suite or stateroom offers room to unwind, with well-appointed amenities and refined designs inspired by Disney stories. For families, multi-bedroom layouts allow everyone to enjoy their own space, without missing out on moments together.
When it's time to explore, the Concierge team takes care of everything – from securing dining reservations to booking spa treatments and immersive experiences. Whether it's a small-group wine tasting or a surprise celebration arranged just for you, concierge guests are wrapped in Disney's signature hospitality – at its most luxe.
Aboard Disney Adventure, every moment is filled with delight – from fun character encounters to unforgettable entertainment. But for those who prefer their voyage at a gentler pace, there's a different side of the ship waiting to be discovered – crafted with thoughtful spaces that invite you to slow down, reflect and simply enjoy.
At the heart of this is the Concierge Lounge, open throughout the day and designed with the mythical city of Agrabah in mind, inspired by Disney's Aladdin. Gilded partitions create cosy nooks for conversation, where you can unwind over gourmet bites and curated pours from the 'magic carpet' wine bar. Younger guests can retreat to inviting alcoves painted like a starlit palace, complete with snacks and Disney films.
When the sun is shining, escape to the Concierge Sundeck – a tranquil retreat at the front of the ship reserved for Concierge guests. Here, panoramic ocean views meet plush loungers, breezy cabanas, a shaded pool and a whirlpool spa, creating the perfect haven for relaxation under open skies.
Wellness is also taken to new heights for Concierge guests at the Opulence Spa – Elemis at Sea. This sanctuary offers everything from facials to acupuncture, along with sauna lounges and a private yoga and fitness area. Two signature spa suites – Practically Perfect (a loving nod to Mary Poppins) and Hopps Haven – offer themed spaces ideal for larger groups to relax and recharge in style.
Even shopping takes on a more curated air. Exclusive boutiques, inspired by the opulence of Agrabah, feature fine jewellery and merchandise designed for Concierge guests, including apparel, souvenirs and unique collectibles.
With children engaged at the supervised Kids Clubs, adults can slip away to enjoy the ship's more grown-up escapes. Feast on Northern Italian cuisine at the seaside-inspired adults-only Palo Trattoria, catch a live game over a pint at Buccaneer Bar or reconnect with your partner over complimentary cocktails during happy hour just for Concierge guests – all with the peace of mind that the little ones are having the time of their lives.
When it's time to explore, Disney Adventure reveals seven immersive themed areas that bring timeless Disney, Marvel and Pixar stories to life.
Start your journey at Disney Imagination Garden. This open-air gathering space features a majestic stage for live performances and a sprawling courtyard filled with whimsical details celebrating 100 years of Disney storytelling.
Then, head up to Marvel Landing on the upper deck, where you can meet iconic superheroes and take on the thrills of the longest roller coaster at sea. Craving a bite? Visit Disney Discovery Reef, where you can enjoy meals and snacks in eateries inspired by beloved aquatic friends from The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch and Luca.
Whether you're dancing under the stars or watching world-class shows, Disney Adventure offers a fully packed entertainment calendar. Catch Moana: Call of the Sea, a production blending music, puppetry and water effects. Join Captain Jack Sparrow as he battles the fearsome Siren Queen in an action-packed adventure enhanced by dazzling LED visuals. And don't miss the main stage magic at Walt Disney Theatre: Remember is a new musical created exclusively for Disney Adventure; while Disney Seas the Adventure gathers Disney characters and songs into one spectacular show.
The enchantment continues at every meal, with a selection of imaginative dining experiences only Disney could create. Guests will enjoy three of six unique dining venues during their voyage, such as stepping into the glamour of classic Hollywood at Hollywood Spotlight Club or embracing the golden age of cruising at the Navigator's Club. They can enjoy a dreamy evening beneath a sky of glowing lanterns at Enchanted Summer Restaurant, inspired by Disney's Tangled, or experience the magic of summer solstice in the Olaf dining room, named after everyone's favourite snowman from Frozen. Animation lovers will be delighted by Animator's Table or Animator's Palate, where the creative process comes to life through music, colour and interactive moments – even your own hand-drawn sketch becomes part of the magic.
As a Concierge guest, your experience is elevated even further. With a dedicated team handling reservations and personal touches, everything flows seamlessly – so you can simply enjoy the wonder, one magical moment at a time.

Streaming Sneaks: Female teen hero in Marvel's Ironheart, J-remake of Marry My Husband in June
Streaming Sneaks: Female teen hero in Marvel's Ironheart, J-remake of Marry My Husband in June Ironheart Debuts on Disney+ on June 25 Marvel's newest and nerdiest hero takes flight in Ironheart, a series that puts a fresh spin on the Iron Man legacy. The story follows Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), a teenage engineering prodigy who builds herself an advanced suit of armour that could give Tony Stark's Iron Man get-up a run for its money. But, along with the growing pains of being a fledgling superhero, she must also navigate the challenges of college life and a genius intellect. Why watch it: Ironheart is executive-produced by Ryan Coogler, the acclaimed film-maker behind superhero smashes Black Panther (2018) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), and promises a blend of high-octane action, coming-of-age drama and tech wizardry. And expanding on her role in the movie sequel, Thorne offers a new perspective on what it means to be a superhero. Marry My Husband Debuts on Prime Video on June 27 Fuka Koshiba in Marry My Husband. PHOTO: PRIME VIDEO A Japanese remake of the wildly popular 2024 K-drama of the same name starring Park Min-young and Na In-woo, this twisty tale of love, betrayal and second chances revolves around Misa (Fuka Koshiba), a woman who has always put others first. But after a betrayal by her husband and best friend cuts her life short, she miraculously finds herself waking up 10 years earlier – and has the chance to rewrite her past and exact revenge. As she encounters familiar faces and the same forks in the road, she must find a way to outwit her fate or let the same forces tear her world apart. Why watch it: The Japanese version is not an exact reboot of the South Korean one, so expect new plot elements. However, the same production company is behind the camera and its director Ahn Gil-ho is South Korean – an intriguing J- and K-drama mash-up. And the cast is led by two of Japan's brightest stars, Koshiba (Ooku: The Palace, 2024) and Takeru Satoh (the Rurouni Kenshin film franchise, 2012 to 2021), who plays a man absent from Misa's previous life but pivotal to her new one. Smoke Debuts on Apple TV+ on June 27 Taron Egerton (left) and Jurnee Smollett in Smoke. PHOTO: APPLE TV+ This gritty crime drama stars Welsh actor Taron Egerton as Dave Gudsen, an enigmatic arson investigator who grudgingly teams up with police detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) to try and stop a pair of serial arsonists. Inspired by Firebug, a hit 2021 true-crime podcast about a serial arsonist who terrorised California for a decade, Smoke was created by American author Dennis Lehane, whose novels have been adapted into films such as Gone Baby Gone (2007) and Mystic River (2003). Why watch it: The last collaboration involving Egerton, Lehane and Apple TV+ resulted in the acclaimed true-crime drama Black Bird (2022), earning an Emmy nomination for Egerton and a win for co-star Paul Walter Hauser, who played real-life serial killer Larry Hall. And there is every reason to expect another exquisitely slow-simmering, character-driven thriller. Stick Debuts on June 4 on Apple TV+ Owen Wilson in Stick. PHOTO: APPLE TV+ This sports comedy casts Owen Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a washed-up former professional golfer who, two decades ago, had a dramatic meltdown that derailed his career. Recently sacked from his job at a golf shop and on the verge of divorcing his wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer), he is struggling. But then he spots a 17-year-old phenom named Santi (Peter Dager) at the driving range and, seeing a path to redemption, decides to try and coach the troubled teen to an amateur tour win. Why watch it: Billed as a feel-good tale, this invites comparisons to the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ sports comedy series Ted Lasso (2020 to present), as well as Adam Sandler's cult golf comedy film Happy Gilmore (1996), and should appeal to anyone who loves an underdog story.

Actors Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio join martial arts forces in Karate Kid: Legends
LONDON – Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio blend fighting techniques to train a new karate kid in the latest instalment of the martial arts movie franchise. Karate Kid: Legends, opening in Singapore cinemas on June 5, stars Ben Wang as Beijing gongfu whiz Li F ong. He moves with his mother to New York, where he befriends pizza restaurant owner and retired boxer Victor (Joshua Jackson) and his daughter Mia (Sadie Stanley). When that friendship irks a local karate champion (Aramis Knight), Li enters a karate tournament and begins training with his old gongfu teacher Mr Han (Chan) and Macchio's Daniel LaRusso, the protagonist of the original 1984 film The Karate Kid who learnt karate from mentor Mr Miyagi (Pat Morita). 'They presented the concept to me... connecting Miyagi to the Han family and how that made sense. I was like 'That's kind of clever, so how do we maintain this connective tissue into Li Fong's story that is organic and truthful?'' American actor Macchio, 63, said in a joint interview with Chan and Wang. 'That was the challenge at first and figuring that out. Working with Jackie was like, 'Sign me up.' And then, who's the kid? If we don't love this kid, then you have no movie. So all that, like it happens with The Karate Kid universe, is magic dust that comes down, and somehow it continues to resonate. I'm excited for the next-generation version.' Karate Kid: Legends is Macchio's fourth Karate Kid film playing LaRusso, a character he also portrayed in the martial arts comedy series Cobra Kai (2018 to 2025). Hong Kong superstar Chan, 71, reprises the role of Mr Han, a character he first played in the 2010 film The Karate Kid opposite American actor Jaden Smith. 'Now, we've both become a Miyagi,' Chan said, referring t o his and Macchio's characters becoming mentors. 'I remember when I saw the first one. Why Macchio? Why not me? I want to be the Karate Kid. Now, we work together.' (From left) Actors Ralph Macchio, Ben Wang and Jackie Chan at a photo call to promote their film Karate Kid: Legends in London, Britain, on May 20. PHOTO: EPA-EFE Wang, 25, said Chan's 2010 film introduced him to the franchise. Best known for playing the protagonist in Disney+ series American Born Chinese (2023), the American actor said: 'Stepping into it, it's a terrifying thing in a certain way because it's a beloved franchise and the fans love it so much so that I want to do right by them. 'But it's also a great honour because a lot of people auditioned for this part, so I know how special and lucky it is that I get to do this with the two of them.'

Singapore's soaring ambitions: Changi Airport and SIA prepare for the next takeoff
'Build and they will come' may be the idea behind the construction of Changi Airport's Terminal 5, which will be able to handle another 50 million passengers annually when the first phase is completed in the mid-2030s. The airport already seems to have excess capacity. With a capacity to handle 90 million passengers annually, Changi recorded 68.4 million passenger movements in the financial year 2024/25 ended March 31, according to a Changi Airport Group (CAG) press release dated May 24. That was more than any recent year. Passenger movements totalled 62.5 million in 2023/24 and 42.6 million in 2022/23 after dropping during COVID to 5.2 million in 2021/22 and 1.1 million in 2020/21 from 62.9 million in 2019/20, according to the CAG 2024 annual report. Changi Airport's soaring profit However, despite operating below capacity, the airport is a goldmine. Net profit jumped from S$431 million in 2023/24 to S$841 million in 2024/25. Revenue grew from S$2.7 billion to S$3 billion in tandem with the rise in passenger traffic. One of the world's busiest airports, Changi now links Singapore directly to about 170 cities globally, with close to 100 airlines operating more than 7,200 flights weekly. Passenger movements were much lower – 53.7 million a year – when the Terminal 5 construction project was announced by the then Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 2013. He said then that the new terminal would double the airport's passenger capacity. Changi didn't have to be so big at the time, but the planners were building for the future. See also Education: Goodbye Streaming, Hello Full Subject-Based Banding Aviation is a business run on high hopes and big dreams. The business just had a bumper year. 'Airlines delivered a combined net profit of $32.4 billion in 2024 when passenger numbers reached a new high of 4.8 billion,' says the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in its 2025 Annual Review. SIA Group profit and revenue The SIA Group rode this wave of growth with resounding success. It posted a record net profit of S$2.8 billion in 2024/25, bolstered by a one-off non-cash gain of S$1.1 billion from the Air India–Vistara merger. Together, SIA and its low-cost subsidiary Scoot carried a record 39.4 million passengers while group revenue reached a new high of S$19.54 billion. As of March 31, 2025, the SIA Group operated a fleet of 205 aircraft with an average age of seven years and eight months. This included 145 passenger planes and seven freighters under SIA, and 53 passenger aircraft under Scoot. In April 2025, the group added one Airbus A321neo and one Boeing 787-8 — and, as of May 1, the group had another 78 aircraft on order. Its combined passenger network spanned 128 destinations across 36 countries and territories, with SIA serving 79 destinations and Scoot flying to 71. See also A four-step video in renewed attempt for clean toilets Both Changi Airport and SIA continue to shine on the global stage. Changi was named Skytrax World's Best Airport in 2025, while Singapore Airlines ranked second in Skytrax's 2024 list of the world's best airlines, just behind Qatar Airways. Fierce competition Yet, the competition is fierce. In Northeast Asia, Hong Kong International Airport and Incheon International Airport (Seoul) are major contenders, supported by carriers like Cathay Pacific, Korean Air, and Asiana Airlines. Within Southeast Asia, Changi faces regional rivals in Bangkok Suvarnabhumi, Kuala Lumpur International, and Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta airports. Airlines such as Thai Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Garuda Indonesia, and fast-growing low-cost carriers like AirAsia and Lion Air offer aggressive pricing and expansive networks. Further afield, Middle Eastern giants like Dubai International and Doha's Hamad International, along with their flagship carriers Emirates and Qatar Airways, also compete heavily in the long-haul and transit passenger segments. Despite this, Singapore's aviation ecosystem enjoys key competitive advantages. Changi is widely praised for its efficiency, passenger experience, and seamless connectivity. SIA's reputation for exceptional service, a modern fleet, and strategic global partnerships enhances its appeal to international travellers. Looking ahead, growth prospects remain strong. The rise of the Asian middle class, increasing disposable incomes, and an appetite for international travel are likely to fuel sustained demand. For Singapore, a well-connected aviation hub is vital—not just for tourism, but for trade, investment, and its standing as a global business centre. 'The aviation ecosystem now contributes 5% of our GDP, and creates and sustains many good jobs for Singaporeans,' as Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said at the Terminal 5 groundbreaking ceremony on May 14. Nonetheless, challenges persist. Geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and the aviation industry's urgent need to adopt sustainable practices demand vigilance and adaptability. Environmental pressures are rising: airlines are under scrutiny to reduce emissions. In response, SIA is exploring sustainable aviation fuels and acquiring more fuel-efficient aircraft, while Changi is rolling out energy-saving measures and tapping renewable energy sources. The airline and the airport's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and save energy stem from the same vision that underpins Terminal 5. This is more than just infrastructure expansion—it is a statement of intent. Singapore is building for the future. The terminal may seem outsized for today, but it is designed for tomorrow, befitting a nation that will continue to grow. Featured image by Depositphotos (for illustration purposes only)
