Disney is just as magical at sea as it is on land and with six cruise ships to choose from – plus two more to start sailing soon – there are plenty of ways to hit the waves with Mickey and co.
You will find all your favourite characters aboard a Disney cruise ship including princesses and Marvel superheroes. Passengers also get access to exclusive Broadway-style shows featuring fan favourites such as Beauty and the Beast and Rapunzel on some ships.
There may not be any Disneyland or Disney World park-style rollercoasters but thrill seekers can enjoy waterslides on some of the ships as well as the Goofy pool to relax in.
Disney Cruise Line ships have their own buffet where you can enjoy the infamous Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes but dinner is a whole new world. Rather than a main room, guests are on a “rotational dining” system where you visit the ship’s three main restaurants and the staff follow you. This is a great way for you and the waiting staff to get to know each other and means you get a variety of meals and immersive entertainment, plus you don’t have to keep repeating your dietary requirements.
Each ship has its own exclusive restaurants but Magic, Wonder, Dream and Fantasy all feature Animator’s Palate. This unique dining venue lets guests draw pictures drawing the meal that are then brought to life on the walls, making you a Disney animator by the time you have finished dessert.
A Disney cruise is a great way to spend time with the family but parents can also give themselves break in adult-only spas and bars while children can enjoy the Oceaneer kids’ club. Themes include Star Wars on Dream and Fantasy, Andy’s room from Toy Story on Magic and Frozen on Wonder, plus Avenger action on Wish and the newly launched Treasure.
Disney sails in most parts of the world and even has its own private Caribbean island.
It has launched a new ship – Adventure – for the Asian market, plus the eighth member of its fleet will be Disney Destiny, which is set to make its maiden voyage around the Caribbean in November 2025.
Here are some of the best sailings to get your Disney fix on the deep blue sea in 2024 and 2025.
