Disney Cruise Line is shining a spotlight on Asia’s vibrant cultural landscape with the launch of Disney Adventure’s Local Artist Series — a program that celebrates and captures the region’s vibrancy through collaborations with regional artists. Kicking off the series is Singaporean artist Danielle Tay, whose nature-focused, locally inspired piece will debut through artwork and an exclusive merchandise line that will be available only onboard the Disney Adventure.

In this special collaboration, Danielle celebrates the spirit of Singapore in her signature style, with a painting onboard the Disney Adventure that shows Captain Mickey Mouse and their friends arriving in sunny Singapore, ready to set off on new and unforgettable Disney cruise adventures. The artwork nods to Singapore’s natural and cultural landscape, featuring lush flora, vibrant fauna, and playful local patterns — from curious otters to colorful local birds and tropical blooms to the city’s iconic skyline.

In addition to this unique piece of art, guests onboard the Disney Adventure will also have the opportunity to bring home a piece of the magic of Danielle Tay’s work through a capsule collection comprising home décor, collectibles and accessories that include vibrant tote bags, batik-print tea towels and colorful plate sets inspired by the art piece. Fans of the illustration would also be able to purchase a special lithograph, an authorized copy of the original artwork. This collection is only one example of the exclusive products coming to the Disney Adventure that will celebrate the beauty, artistry and diversity of Southeast Asia.

“It has been a joy and an honor to design this special collection for Disney Cruise Line. Growing up as a little girl, I was inspired by Disney’s stories and characters, so bringing that magic to life through my own artistic lens has been a dream come true. For this collection, I wanted to celebrate Singapore’s lush greenery and flora found in our garden city, and weave in everyday items that we come across in Singapore that reflect the vibrancy and whimsicality of our local culture. My hope is that each piece feels like a little adventure — a way for everyone to bring a bit of Singapore’s warmth and wonder home with them, just like Captain Mickey Mouse and friends discovering our tropical paradise,” Danielle said.

Known for the vivid colors and lively energy of her murals, paintings and collages, Danielle is a Singaporean visual artist and a graduate ofthe Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. Inspired by the natural beauty of the green spaces she loves to explore in Singapore, she often weaves botanical elements into her work.
