CAPTURING SINGAPORE STORIES
In the ship’s souvenir shops, a collection of Singapore-inspired merchandise is on display, from Mickey ears adorned with local floral motifs to batik-patterned teacups.
The collection is anchored by a painting by local visual artist Danielle Tay.
Her work reimagines the story behind Singapore’s name. In the piece, Mickey sets out on a quest for the fabled lion, while Goofy appears in a lion costume, clutching a durian.
“I felt a great responsibility to really respect the iconic characters and wanted to bring to life their personality traits, because they are so well known and so loved by everyone,” said Ms Tay.
