Disney has historically refused to describe in detail the revenues earned by its growing cruise ship business. Its CFO, Hugh Johnston, has declined to do so on previous earnings calls.

“We don’t break out cruise ships,” explained Hugh Johnston on its Q3 call last year.

But Fortune can reveal that a Disney filing in the U.K.—where its ships are based for tax reasons—reveals that cruise revenue passed the $3 billion mark last year for the first time, fuelled by the addition of a sixth ship to its fleet as part of a $12 billion expansion.

Fortune reached out to Disney for comment.
