SINGAPORE – The Disney Adventure, Asia’s first Disney cruise ship, was christened by Oscar-winning American actor Robert Downey Jr at Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) on March 4 ahead of its first public sailing on March 10.
On Feb 24, Downey – best known for his portrayals of Tony Stark and Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films – was announced as the Disney Adventure’s godparent.
At the ship’s christening ceremony, he appeared onstage in a plume of smoke after a performance featuring a medley of Disney songs.
Mr Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, turned to him and quipped: “It’s going to have to be kind of a big blessing. I assume you can handle this.”
Downey responded: “I have three words for you: I’m your guy.”
He went on to announce: “I christen the Disney Adventure. May God bless this ship and all who sail upon it.”
