The 5 best destinations you can visit on a Disney Cruise Line ship

Is a voyage on a Disney Cruise Line ship on your bucket list? You'll find a growing number of options when it comes time to pick an itinerary.

While the cruising arm of Disney has long focused mostly on voyages to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, with year-round sailings to those destinations out of Florida, it also now offers a relatively wide range of seasonal sailings to Alaska, the Mexican Riviera, Bermuda, Europe and Canada.

The family-friendly cruise brand, notably, is expanding its footprint worldwide as it adds four new vessels in quick succession.

Already, the first of those ships, the 2,508-passenger Disney Wish , has arrived, boosting the size of the Disney fleet from four ships to five and allowing for more departures to the Caribbean, Mexico and Europe.

Two more sister vessels to Disney Wish are due to begin sailing in 2024 and 2025, respectively, allowing for further expansion in Disney cruise itineraries. In addition, the line has yet another new vessel coming in 2025 that isn't related to the other three. Called Disney Adventure, it's a one-off vessel originally designed for an Asian line , and it'll sail in Asia (perhaps catering mostly to Asian travelers; Disney has been mum so far on the target audience for it).

All these new ships arriving in quick succession will likely mean not just more departures to destinations where Disney Cruise Line is established but also sailings in new regions. For example, Disney has never before offered Asia sailings.

Here are our picks for the five best Disney cruise destinations you can visit with your family.

Caribbean and Bahamas

Disney Cruise Line's top destination has always been the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Since its founding more than two decades ago, the brand has based the bulk of its fleet in Florida to offer sailings to the islands. Port Canaveral, which is just an hour away from Disney's Orlando-area theme parks, has always been its biggest hub.

The line is particularly known for three- and four-night cruises out of Port Canaveral to Castaway Cay and Nassau in the Bahamas. These short getaways let families get a taste of Disney cruising that some Disney fans pair with a stay at Disney World.

The cruise line also regularly offers seven-night sailings out of Port Canaveral that visit Caribbean islands like St. Thomas and Tortola.

In recent years, Disney has also built up its Caribbean and Bahamas cruise offerings from other ports in Florida — initially Miami and, more recently, Fort Lauderdale. The ships the line has based in these ports typically offer four- and five-night sailings to Castaway Cay and one other port, such as Cozumel or Grand Cayman.

In addition, Disney is offering a growing number of Caribbean sailings out of Galveston, Texas, and New Orleans.

For 2024, the line will have four of its five ships — Disney Wish, Disney Dream, Disney Magic and Disney Fantasy — sailing to the Bahamas and Caribbean out of one of the above ports, with their home bases often shifting between them.

Disney Wish, which is Disney's newest ship, will be based in Port Canaveral year-round to operate the line's classic three- and four-night sailings to the Bahamas. These voyages are designed to be paired with a visit to nearby Disney World for a longer Disney vacation.

Disney Fantasy will also sail out of Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and Caribbean year-round, offering longer voyages.

Disney Dream will spend the start and the end of the year sailing short trips to the Bahamas and Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale, with a stint in the middle of the year (from May to October) sailing in Europe.

Disney Magic will take Disney Dream's place sailing short trips to the Bahamas and Caribbean out of Fort Lauderdale from May to October. During the early and late months of the year, it'll sail out of Galveston.

Come 2025, Disney will have four ships — Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Dream and Disney Magic — sailing three- to five-night getaways from Florida to the line's Bahamian destinations, including its new private beach destination Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and its long-open private island Disney Castaway Cay. Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will operate the trips from Port Canaveral, while Disney Dream and Disney Magic will sail from Fort Lauderdale.

Before taking up residence in Florida in April 2025, Disney Magic will also offer three months' worth of sailings out of Galveston, Texas, to Progreso and Cozumel in Mexico and Grand Cayman.

All of the 2025 sailings are already open for bookings.

Disney has cut back on voyages out of San Diego for 2024, after increasing its San Diego departures sharply in 2023. But it still offers several trips to Mexico out of the city on Disney Wonder.

For 2024, the 1,754-passenger vessel will offer a mix of three- to seven-night sailings to Mexico during March and April. Shorter three- and four-night sailings typically feature calls at Ensenada, Mexico, and California's Catalina Island. Seven-night sailings include calls at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico.

The big factor driving Disney's cutbacks on sailings out of San Diego in 2024 is its new focus on voyages out of Australian ports. Disney Wonder will spend much of January and February sailing out of Australian ports and then return to the region in October for another season of Australia trips.

Disney offers a wide variety of itineraries in Europe every summer, from Mediterranean voyages out of Barcelona and Civitavecchia, Italy (the port for Rome), to Northern Europe sailings out of Southampton, England.

Ranging from seven to 11 nights, Disney's Europe voyages each year typically take place on a single ship that sails from multiple home ports throughout the season. For 2024, that ship will be the 2,500-passenger Disney Dream. The line has yet to announce which of its ships will go to Europe in 2025.

Typical for the shorter itineraries the line offers in Europe are seven-night sailings out of Civitavecchia to the Greek Islands. These sailings stop in Mykonos, Santorini and Crete in Greece, as well as Naples, Italy.

A longer, 11-night itinerary starting in Civitavecchia and ending in Barcelona includes calls at Piraeus (the port for Athens), Santorini and Mykonos in Greece; Messina (on the island of Sicily), Naples and Livorno in Italy; and Toulon, France.

Among Northern Europe itineraries, Disney offers focused, weeklong sailings to Norway with calls at the Norwegian ports of Alesund, Nordfjordeid, Eidfjord and Stavanger.

Disney does not have a large presence in Alaska. The line sends just one ship to Alaska each year. Family-friendly cruise rivals Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line, by contrast, each send three ships to Alaska each year, and Norwegian Cruise Line sends five vessels to the destination.

Still, Disney fans won't feel like they're missing out. The one vessel Disney sends to Alaska each year, the 1,754-passenger Disney Wonder, stays for nearly the entire summer season, from late June to mid-September and offers a distinctly Disney take on The Last Frontier.

Always beginning and ending in Vancouver, British Columbia, and lasting seven nights, Disney's Alaska sailings typically include stops at three of these four Alaska ports: Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Icy Strait Point (which three vary by departure date). Itineraries also include a visit to Stikine Icecap, which is south of Juneau.

These are fairly typical ports for an Alaska cruise. But the (extra-charge) activities that Disney has organized for the ports aren't always the same as what other lines offer.

As one might expect for Disney, the line has crafted some of its shore excursions in Alaska ports with special Disney touches, such as Disney character appearances at the Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp & Salmon Bake tour in Ketchikan. (Having done this one myself, I will say, for the record, that it's a little hokey; but it does get you a Disney character fix if that's your aim.)

Another shore excursion with a Disney touch is the outdoor Family Scavenger Hunt at Icy Strait Point, where participants join a local guide on a hunt for items such as clam shells and native plants, as well as a "special surprise" with a Disney theme.

Unlike many lines, Disney does not offer one-way sailings to Alaska from Vancouver or Seattle that can be paired with add-on land tours to create an extended sea-and-land Alaska vacation — something known as a "cruisetour." If that's what you're looking for, and you want to stick with a family-friendly line, you might want to consider the one-way cruisetour offerings from Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line.

Disney typically offers at least one and sometimes several cruises to Bermuda each fall, ranging from quick, five-night trips to longer, eight-night sailings.

For the year just ending (2023), the line offered four such sailings, and it's offered even more than that in certain years. Alas, for the coming year (2024), Disney currently does not have a single Bermuda sailing scheduled — a bit of an anomaly.

That said, we would expect Disney to bring back its Bermuda sailings for 2025 or 2026. It's been such a mainstay of the brand.

So ... stay tuned.

Bottom line

Family-friend Disney Cruise Line is a relatively small cruise brand, with just five ships (one of its biggest rivals in the family cruise market, Royal Caribbean, has 26 vessels). But that doesn't mean its itinerary choices are limited. The line offers regular sailings to the Caribbean and Bahamas, Mexican Riviera, Alaska, Bermuda and Europe.

About Disney Cruise Line cruises

Disney cruise line prices, disney cruise line loyalty program: castaway club, what is the best disney cruise line ship.

Disney has a massive global footprint across its theme parks, films and merchandise. And it doesn’t stop there. Among its many offerings is the Disney Cruise Line, whose fleet of five ships sails all over the world.

Family-friendly but with adults-only areas, Disney cruises offer some of the most comprehensive cruise options around. Let’s break down everything there is to know about the Disney Cruise Line, including pricing, destinations and its loyalty program.

You can always expect some magic from Disney, and there is no exception when sailing on Disney Cruise Line. Although its fleet is small, it offers a high-end, family-friendly experience for guests. Here’s a quick overview of Disney Cruise Line’s key features.

Cabin types: Disney Cruise Line offers all the usual cabin types, including inside, oceanview, verandah and concierge-level rooms . Disney Cruise Line’s cabins are larger than average and designed for families, with split bathrooms and privacy curtains. Their largest rooms can accommodate up to seven guests. 

Main U.S. routes: Disney has several departure points from within the United States, including options from San Diego, New York City, Miami, and Galveston, Texas. However, its most frequent departures are from Port Canaveral in Brevard County, Florida, to the Bahamas and the Caribbean or from Vancouver, British Columbia to Alaska.

Loyalty program: Disney Cruise Line offers the Castaway Club to repeat guests. It has four membership levels — Silver, Gold, Platinum and Pearl. The first level is earned by completing a single cruise.

Disney Cruise Line destinations

Although Disney currently operates only five ships, the cruise line still manages to cover most of the world. Here are the locations you can currently sail on a Disney cruise:

New Zealand.

Pacific Coast. 

Panama Canal.

South Pacific. 

Transatlantic. 

Cruises are available in a variety of lengths, from three nights up to 15 nights.

Disney cruises tend to be more expensive than the average cruise. Currently, for example, the cheapest cruise departing from Port Canaveral is a three-night trip to the Bahamas, which costs $1,958 for two guests.

And you’ll pay more to take a "special occasion" Disney cruise. The same three-night Bahamas cruise sailing during Disney's Silver Anniversary at Sea starts at $2,345 for two guests.

When it comes to timing, standard logic applies. The high season will cost more, especially during holidays and the summer break.

The cheapest rate we found — the previously-mentioned $1,958 — is for a cruise in late January, a time when those with school-aged children might have trouble getting away. Meanwhile, the most expensive period for this cruise takes place over the Christmas holiday and rings in at $3,737 for an inside stateroom.

For all destinations, if you’d like to save money, avoid peak periods and search all available dates to find the lowest rates . This is true even on less popular cruises, such as those sailing up to Alaska .

The cheapest cost for two guests to Alaska from Vancouver is $2,983 in mid-September, while the same cruise will cost you $4,607 if you sail over the Fourth of July holiday.

One-way positioning cruises — that is, those that end in a different location from where they started — are often much cheaper per night than standard round-trip cruises.

What’s included

Disney cruises are more inclusive than most cruises. You don’t, for example, need to pay extra for soft drinks on a Disney cruise like you would on Norwegian Cruise Line . You’re also entitled to complimentary room service 24/7, unlike on Virgin Voyages, where you'll be charged a $5 fee for each delivery.

Here are more inclusions you can expect.

Live, high-quality entertainment.

Large staterooms (designed for parties of up to three guests).

Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay (on most Bahamas and Caribbean cruises).

Upscale restaurants, quick-service dining, poolside snacks and room service.

Adults-only lounges and pool areas.

Waterslides (on some ships).

Disney isn’t known for its loyalty programs. For example, there is no frequent traveler program associated with staying at one of its resorts or frequenting its parks.

The Disney Wish is the newest Disney Cruise Line ship and certainly its best. It just launched in the summer of 2022. Among its many amenities, guests can find the first-ever Disney attraction at sea. It’s a 760-foot water slide filled with show scenes, lighting, music and more that touches down into a lazy river.

The Disney Wish also has dedicated areas themed for "Frozen," the Marvel Universe and "Star Wars."

In addition, the Disney Wish has all the regular amenities you’d expect on a Disney cruise, including live entertainment, pools and spacious staterooms.

Disney Cruise Line does not offer free Wi-Fi. Instead, it has three levels of packages from which to choose:

Stay Connected: $10 per day for the entire cruise or $12 per day for a 24-hour period.

Basic Surf: $20 per day for the entire cruise or $24 per day for a 24-hour period.

Premium Surf: $30 per day for the entire cruise or $36 per day for a 24-hour period.

These packages are available on the Disney Wish, Disney Magic, Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream. The Disney Wonder still operates on the old data-usage Wi-Fi packages.

Most of your daily expenses, including your food and non-alcoholic beverages, are included when sailing on a Disney cruise. However, if you’d like specialty drinks or alcohol, you’ll need to pay extra. Gratuities are not included, and Disney Cruise Line's recommended tip is a minimum of $14.50 per guest, per night.

Disney Cruise Line doesn’t offer the standard drink package other cruise lines offer. Drink packages allow you to pay a flat-rate price and drink as much alcohol as you’d like.

Instead, you’ll either pay per drink or purchase bundled quantities onboard. It’s also possible to purchase a specialty beer mug at the pub onboard, which can then be refilled across the ship. Much like Disney’s popcorn buckets, your beer mugs entitle you to cheaper refills on all your beer.

In the past, Disney Cruise Line required that you be vaccinated or tested for COVID-19 before sailing, but this is no longer the case. Guests departing from the United States are not required to do either, though the cruise line highly encourages you to get vaccinated before sailing.

Most of your daily expenses, including your food and non-alcoholic beverages, are included when sailing on a Disney cruise. However, if you’d like specialty drinks or alcohol, you’ll need to pay extra. Gratuities are not included, and

Disney Cruise Line Current Itineraries

Disney Cruise Line releases their upcoming yearly itineraries pretty far in advance with 2025 sailings already available for booking . You can also look at the list of the current 2024 sailings if you want to plan a cruise within the year.

There are also Disney Vacation Club Member exclusive cruise options that are available that are a hit with DVC members and their families with one just recently announced for 2025.

Guests looking for themed itineraries can also find Disney Cruises celebrating Halloween , Christmas , and even Marvel during Marvel Day at Sea. Past themed Day at Sea cruises have also included Pixar and Star Wars although Marvel Day at Sea is the only one on the itinerary for the moment.

Disney Cruise itineraries include many different destination options from the Caribbeans, Europe, Alaska, Bahamas and Disney's private island Castaway Cay.

Disney is also opening a brand new island in June 2023, Lighthouse Point , which is also located in the Bahamas.

What is Included in a Disney Cruise?

The pricing of a Disney Cruise will vary depending on how long of a cruise you're interested in, what level of stateroom you select, and what port you decide to cruise out of. Read our full guide here to see out breakdown of how much a Disney Cruise costs. 

To give you an idea, a 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Miami to Disney Castaway Cay and the Bahamas would start at $1750 per person for a basic, inside stateroom. This doesn't not cover the cost of any additional souvenirs, alcoholic drinks on board, airfare to the port, spending money at the destinations, and so on. The longer your cruise and the fancier of a stateroom you select, the higher the price. The further away your port is from where you live, the higher cost it will be for airfare. These are all important considerations to think through before selecting which cruise is right for you!

Before you book your Disney Cruise, it's a good idea to make sure you know what's included. Here is what is all included in your Disney Cruise:

• Entertainment: Broadway-caliber musicals, lively deck parties, character experiences, and fireworks at sea
• Spacious Staterooms: Designed for families with extra space and storage, sitting area, and split bath to allow more people to get ready at the same time.
• Dining: Rotational dinner dining with upscale offerings buffets, poolside snacks, 24-hour room service, soda.
• Youth Clubs: Kids can play in themed clubs for every age, staffed by specially trained Disney counselors.
• Pools & Recreation: Access to all the pools including the waterslides, hot tubs, and top deck pools.

Essentially, everything is included except alcoholic drinks, specialty drinks at the coffee bar and other lounges, popcorn and candy outside the theaters, dining at the adult exclusive restaurants, and any up charge experiences like exclusive character interactions, salon services, and onboard cocktail classes. And of course, all merchandise is excluded from the cost and port adventures. Guests that need to utilize the Health Center for emergency situations may also see charges although they do offer motion sickness meds at no cost if you forget to bring some! This is why you need to read our Disney Cruise packing list so you don't forget the essentials.

While your dining may be included, this doesn't usually include your gratuity. DCL gives you a couple of options on how to pay gratuity. We cover the best tips on handling gratuity along with other must know Disney Cruise Line hacks.

A Disney Cruise can average the same prices as a Walt Disney World trip or even less depending on the travel options you select. Read more about Walt Disney World vs. Disney Cruise.

Disney Cruise Line Things to Do

The Disney Cruise Line ships all offer plenty of entertainment, recreation, dining experiences, and activities for every member of the family.

Recreation options feature multiple pools on the ship with most ships including a pool deck with a large screen to enjoy Disney movies while you swim. All ships feature water slides with some of the newer ships offering waterslides that are more like a dark ride attraction combined with the elements of a water slide.

Disney character experiences are frequently offered on the ships from meet and greets in the atriums to interactive Disney Princess meetings and Marvel characters on Marvel Day at Sea. 

Disney Cruise Line also offers the best in Disney entertainment in their Broadway-caliber shows which feature popular stories like Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Frozen, Aladdin, and Moana . The shows take place in the evening and are often coordinated with your rotational dining.

All of the Disney Cruise Line ships feature some style of nighttime entertainment with the most common option being Pirate Night! Pirate Night includes pirate themed dining, a deck stage show including an appearance from Jack Sparrow and ends with fireworks at sea.

Disney Cruise Line also offers rotational dining which allows guests to experience every dinner experience on the ship. All of these restaurants are highly themed with some focusing on Disney animation while others may transport you to the setting of a serene conservatory. There are also Disney Cruise Line ships that offer theatrical dinner shows with characters from Frozen, Avengers, and Tangled.

Disney Cruise Line offers some of the best childcare and youth club options in the cruise industry for families to enjoy. These options vary from a nursery, a kids club, and an area for teens to enjoy. These spaces are highly themed and engaging for kids to enjoy. On some of the Disney Cruise Line ships, the teens club features its own private pool deck. And many of the kids clubs feature Star Wars themed interactive rooms. Kids won't want to leave these kids club, Disney does such a great job with the theming and activities. Read more about the youth clubs in our guide. 

Adults can enjoy a variety of adult themed lounges including some themed to Star Wars, classic nautical themed pubs, champagne bars with more coming soon later this year featuring a focus on Disney Park themes. Some of these lounges offer adult experiences like mixology classes, wine tasting, and other activities.

Adults can find plenty to do on the Disney Cruise ships with an onboard spa, private pool area, and adult exclusive luxury dining. Read more about everything that Disney Cruise line offers for adults in my review.

While all the Disney Cruise Line ships offer a variety of these experiences, the exact offerings like shows, dining options, and other activities may vary by ship. This is why choosing your ship is such an important part of a Disney Cruise!

Disney Cruise Line Fleet

The Disney Cruises Line Fleet is made up of five ships all with state of the art comfort, Disney quality service, dining, Disney entertainment and activities, and exotic ports to stop at. The Broadway-caliber shows, entertainment, dining, and theming will slightly vary from ship to ship. Disney's innovative Rotational Dining for its cruise ships means that you'll “rotate” to one of three different restaurants each night of your cruise with unique menus.

A big consideration for many guests planning a Disney Cruise is to decide which cruise ship they prefer. I will list them below in order of newest ship to oldest although some of the older ships are just as charming as the new ones, it really comes down to personal preference.

Each ship has something unique whether it is ship specific Broadway-caliber shows, themed dining, or water slide attractions. This makes the experience of enjoying multiple Disney Cruises so fun as you can explore different features on all these ships. The newest ships will usually be the most costly so that is also something to keep into account.

Disney has been working hard to expand their Disney Cruise Ship fleet including the current work on the Disney Destiny which will be the newest ship to debut in 2025.

Disney Treasure

The Disney Treasure is the newest Disney Cruise Line ship. The Disney Treasure is the sister ship to the Disney Wish meaning that it has a similar deck layout and restaurants. The theme of this Disney Cruise Line ship is inspired by adventure and incorporates designed elements from around the world. Disney Treasure will set sail for the first time at the end of 2024. Read our full guide to the Disney Treasure.

What makes this Disney Cruise ship special?  The Disney Treasure is debuting a brand new Coco themed dining experience along with multiple Disney Parks-inspired lounges. These lounges are inspired by the Jungle Cruise, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Haunted Mansion. There will also be EPCOT high end suites available as well. These are just a few of the experiences that guests are most excited about but is especially a large draw for theme park fans. The Disney Treasure also has the AquaMouse which is the first ever cruise attraction that first debuted on the Disney Wish.

Where are the Ports of Call? Disney Treasure departs Port Canaveral and sails to Tortola, British Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Disney Castaway Cay.

What special shows at on the Disney Treasure?  The Broadway quality live shows on the Disney Treasure includes a brand new show exclusive to the ship Disney “The Tale of Moana.” This show will join existing favorites like “Beauty and the Beast” and “Disney Seas the Adventure.” Read everything we know about this new Moana Broadway-caliber show.

What dining options are on the Disney Treasure? There are two brand new dining experiences on the Disney Treasure: a Coco-themed theatrical experience and a Zootopia sweetshop. Read our full coverage of this brand-new Coco-themed theatrical dining experience. 

The Disney Treasure will also includes Disney Parks-inspired lounges and a suite for the first time featuring Jungle Cruise, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Haunted Mansion! EPCOT will be featured in one of the high end suites. Read more about these Disney Parks themes coming to the Disney Treasure in our guide.

The Disney Treasure is going to be a great addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet and many theme park fans are incredibly excited about these new park inspired lounges.

Disney Wish 

The Disney Wish is the sister ship to the Disney Treasure and is one of the newest Disney Cruise Line ships. The theme of the Disney Wish focuses on the stories of enchantment and tales of wishes coming true. Read our full guide to the Disney Wish.

What makes this Disney Cruise ship special?  The Disney Wish features the first ever cruise ship attraction, the AquaMouse, which is a combination of a water slide and dark ride in one. The main dining rooms also feature interactive character experiences with Frozen and Marvel characters providing more interaction than some of the other ships offer during dinner. This ship also features the newest Disney show featuring the story of The Little Mermaid.

Where are the Ports of Call? The Wish is currently offering three- and four-night voyages to Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay departing from Port Canaveral, Florida.

What special shows at on the Disney Wish? The Broadway quality live shows on the Disney Wish includes one of the newest shows creating exclusively for the ship “The Little Mermaid” which joins other favorite shows like “Disney Seas the Adventure” and “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular.”

What dining options are on the Disney Wish? The Disney Wish features a variety of interactive main dining options including Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure and Avengers: Quantum Encounter. The Frozen themed dinner is a theatrical dining experience that includes interactions with the Frozen characters. The Avengers experience is focused on Ant-Man and the Wasp with guests having the fun of their own interactive Quantum Core at the table to shrink and grow objects. The ship also features a Star Wars themed adult lounge with windows that look out to outer space.

The Disney Wish has been a hit with most guests although it has currently only been running shorter voyages, likely to allow more guests to experience this new Disney Cruise Ship, so if you are looking for a longer cruise you may want to opt for a different ship.

Disney Fantasy

The Disney Fantasy is the sister ship to the Disney Dream and is considered a masterpiece of design and engineering with Art Nouveau allure with modern touches. Read our full guide to the Disney Fantasy.

What makes this Disney Cruise ship special? The Disney Fantasy is one of the largest Disney Cruise Line ships and has been praised by many guests for its great layout and high quality dining experiences. The Disney Fantasy also features the AquaDuck, a twisting water coaster that extends over the side of the ship.

Disney Wonder

The Disney Wonder cruise ship's theme focuses on fantasy and the fantastical worlds Disney has created. This ship is known for its classic design with 11 decks filled with restaurants, pools, recreation, and entertainment options. This is one of the older Disney Cruise Line ships so it is smaller than the others listed above which average around 14 decks.

The Disney Wonder is one of the smaller Disney Cruise Line ships but it is also still highly celebrated since a smaller ship has its own benefits making it easier to navigate and creates more opportunities to connect with others on the ship! Plus this is the cruise ship that departs on Alaska adventures which we rave about in our Alaska Disney Cruise review.

The Disney Magic has the charm of being the original Disney Cruise Line ship and featuring classical nautical cruise line atmosphere with Disney touches. The Disney Magic received a refurbishment in 2023 which greatly improved all the areas on the ship that were feeling outdated including a new “Soul” themed lounge.

Staterooms on Disney Cruise Ships

The Disney Cruise Line ships offer the same style and range of staterooms for guests to enjoy. Think of these as similar to hotel rooms with varying costs associated with upgrades to more space and better views.

Even the lowest priced option, the inside stateroom, has top notch amenities for guests. These standard rooms sleep up to four guests and comes with a TV, fridge, bathroom, couch, and all the amenities you'd expect in a standard Disney hotel room.

The neat part about the inside staterooms on the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish ships is they feature a Magical Porthole which provides guests with a real time view of the ship's exterior by reflecting your staterooms actual location. High-definition cameras feed live video to an LCD flat-screen monitor cleverly disguised as a porthole, with the help of a stylized frames. Watch for the Disney characters that may float by!

The next tier up is the Oceanview stateroom which offers at least one large porthole window. These rooms also offer more space than the Inside staterooms. Oceanview rooms are a good choice for guests that want a window but don't necessarily feel the need for a private balcony.

Verandah rooms are the most spacious non-concierge staterooms that come with a private verandah with chairs and a small table. This room is the best choice for large families and guests that want their own private outdoor space.

Concierge staterooms are the most luxurious accommodations with their own private verandahs and premium services. Sizes of concierge rooms vary and start with one bedrooms up to royal suites.

Everything to Know for Your First Disney Cruise

Wondering what you need to know before sailing the high seas with Mickey, Minnie and the gang? From familiar entertainment and exciting Marvel experiences to upper deck water slides for kids and plenty of quiet pools for adults to relax, there's so much to do — and also to know.

What and Where

Disney Cruise Line operates four different ships — Magic, Fantasy, Dream and Wonder — that travel on itineraries that include tropical stops in the Caribbean and Bahamas, domestic outings to Alaska and along the coasts, as well as throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. Sailings last anywhere from two nights to two weeks out of ports in a handful of countries, with some departures out of Port Canaveral, located an hour from Walt Disney World.

Family Friendly

Disney Cruise Line’s essence is extremely family-friendly, offering the charm of Disney characters, films and music through every step of the journey. In addition to the plentiful activities for young ones, the ships and activities offer quiet areas and escapes that are exclusive to adults.

Pools, Slides and More

Disney Cruise Line ships have an assortment of pools and themed water play areas, with most offering a large signature waterslide. The AquaDunk on the Disney Magic shoots riders down from three stories up, while the AquaDuck on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy offers a water coaster ride high above the pool deck.

Instead of spending each night in a formal dining room, Disney Cruise Line has rotational dining, wherein guests switch between three different restaurants. The stylized eateries vary between ships — Disney Wonder serves cajun and creole food at “The Princess and the Frog”-inspired Tiana’s Place, while Disney Magic offers a “Beauty and the Beast”-themed Lumiere’s — and all have Animator’s Palate, which highlights the artistry of Disney and Pixar’s most popular films.

Entertainment

There aren’t any true attractions on board, but this is still definitely Disney. Special interactive appearances from Finding Nemo characters at Animator’s Palate restaurant on Dream and Fantasy sailings is on par with Turtle Talk with Crush at Epcot and Disney California Adventure, while the Midship Detective Agency unveils an exciting layer of the two ships you’d otherwise never know.

Castaway Cay

Disney Cruise Line visits destinations across the globe, but a favorite among guests remains Castaway Cay, a private Disney-operated island in the Bahamas.

What's Included

The sit-down restaurants, buffets and room service on all Disney Cruise Line ships is included in the price. Unlimited soft-serve ice cream and treats are also available around the ship, as well as complimentary fountain soda, tea and coffee in restaurants and on the main deck.

Adults Only

Disney ships offer plenty of tranquil adults-only areas. All ships have a set of pools reserved exclusively for adults, as well as a collection of bars and restaurants that are segmented away from the rest of the ship. The Senses Spa Rainforest Room has a selection of steam rooms and whirlpool spas, and Castaway Cay offers Serenity Bay, a beachfront area of the island exclusively for guests 18 and over.

Fine Dining

Disney Cruise Line does offer dining upgrades by way of its upscale on board restaurants, which are exclusively for adults and absolutely worth the splurge. Palo, an Italian restaurant located on all four Disney Cruise Line ships, serves a three-course selection of dishes including pasta, steaks and souffles, well as a brunch on select sailings. Disney Dream and Fantasy additionally offer Remy, a multi-course fine dining French restaurant with a dress code to match.

All Disney Everything

You can watch Disney films on the large-scale “Funnel Vision” screen at the Goofy Pool or Donald Pool during the day or night. Disney ships even play Disney, Star Wars and Marvel films the same day they’re released in theaters, broadcasting the newest films inside the Buena Vista movie theater.

State Rooms

If you’d rather call it an early night, there's a range of films on-demand within state rooms. Cabins have a “split” double bathroom and shower that can be used as a bathtub, as well as pull-down beds and fold-out couches. There’s also a laundry room aboard each ship that’s open 24 hours.

Special Sailings

With new Marvel Day At Sea bookings on the Disney Magic and Star Wars Day At Sea on the Disney Fantasy , the ship turns into a completely themed environment with exclusive deck parties, activities, fireworks and themed food and drinks all day and night long. Star Wars sailings offer photo ops with R2-D2 and C-3PO as well as famous beings on both sides of the force, while Marvel fans will love meeting Iron Man, Black Panther, Loki and Spider-Man among others, as well as a visit from the Guardians of the Galaxy. There are also special sailings over Halloween and Christmas that incorporate the holidays into onboard activities.

Kid's Areas

One oft-praised feature of Disney Cruise Line are Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab, both included in all sailings. This set of connected and themed play areas is for kids ages 3 to 12. Guests aboard Disney Fantasy will have an extra-special time learning skills and accomplishing impressive feats with Doctor Strange and Thor in the Marvel Super Hero Academy, while the Star Wars: Command Post brings kids face-to-face with intergalactic activities, as well as special appearances by beloved characters like BB-8. Similar experiences are available at the Marvel’s Avengers Academy on Disney Magic, Marvel Super Hero Academy on Disney Wonder and a Star Wars-themed Millennium Falcon space on the Disney Dream.

If you’re looking for a photo opp with Mickey Mouse, you won’t have to search very far. Disney princesses, popular characters and even some rare favorites offer regular meet-and-greets on Disney Cruise Line sailings. If you miss them, which is nearly impossible to do, there are opportunities within lively character dance parties, spontaneous appearances on the ship’s pool decks and certain interactions — Disney Princess Gathering and Frozen Meet and Greet, specifically — can be pre-booked.

More Entertainment

In addition to nightly Broadway-style shows on all four Disney Cruise Line ships, some of which bring familiar Disney films such as “Aladdin,” “Frozen,” and “Beauty and the Beast” to life, there are plenty of other shows to take in throughout the cruise, especially with outdoor “deck parties”, trivia and solo entertainers.

Pirate Night + Fireworks

An entire night of Disney Cruise Line sailings is dedicated to “Pirates of the Caribbean,” with themed dinner options and complimentary pirate bandanas for each guest, even though plenty pack their own outfits and come in full freebooter regalia. After an adventurous evening performance with Captain Jack Sparrow, the spectacle’s “buccaneer blasts” begin, a true fireworks show at sea set to the energetic film soundtrack.

Small Upcharges

Though most everything is included in Disney Cruise Line sailings, there are a few additional but worthy expenses. Mickey-dusted cappuccinos at Cove Cafe are delightful, Royal Court Royal Tea offers a tableside experience with Disney characters and Vanellope’s & Treats on Disney Dream and Sweet On You on Disney Fantasy are ideal stops for delectable sundaes, scoops of gelato and other themed baked goods. For the little ones, there’s also a “It’s a small world” childcare nursery for children six months to three years old, for an hourly cost.

An unofficial disney cruise line news, information, weather, and photo blog..

Disney Cruise Line Announces Summer 2023 Itineraries (May – September) – Disney Dream Heading to Europe

Disney Cruise Line released their Summer 2023 itineraries today for the fleet. The major news in today’s itinerary announcement is the redeployment of the Disney Dream to Europe. The Disney Wonder which continues to remain on the West Coast will spend the summer in Alaska. The Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish remain at Port Canaveral offering Caribbean and Bahamian cruises. The Disney Magic, will offer sailings from Miami and San Juan.

Disney Cruise Line is still loading the sailings so this remains a work in progress and will be updated multiple times today.

Today’s release extends the available sail dates through the summer months of 2023 giving guests options for their future cruise credits and plan vacations more than one year out, as well as take advantage of opening day pricing for some of the new itineraries.

There is a change in the tiered booking cadence. While Summer 2023 dates were announced today, general booking will not open until Monday May 9th . The new spread out tiered booking period will begin Monday May 2nd for Castaway Club Members and some others.

• Monday May 2nd – Platinum Members, Golden Oak Club Members and Club 33 Members
• Tuesday May 3rd – Gold Castaway Club members
• Thursday May 5th – Silver Members, Disney Vacation Club Members and Adventures by Disney Insiders

Castaway Club members can book online beginning Monday! The only caveat is that this is for new bookings only as the website is still not set up to move a placeholder to a new booking. Those types of bookings will still require a phone call.

The following bears repeating, please do NOT try calling today to book; this will just clog up the phone lines and bog down the reservation cast members. There may be people attempting to book an available cruise vacation today.

Disney Cruise Line Celebrates Summer 2023 with Family Adventures in Alaska, Europe, the Bahamas and Caribbean

Highlights include the Disney Dream’s first call to Europe and a return to Alaska 

CELEBRATION, Fla.  – Disney Cruise Line will offer families a variety of enchanting vacations in summer 2023, including cruises to new and favorite ports of call around the world. From the majestic glaciers of Alaska to the sun-kissed Greek isles, pink sand beaches of Bermuda and picturesque fjords of Norway, these summer destinations will sparkle with adventure and excitement. Plus, for the first time ever, families will have the opportunity to sail around the Mediterranean and British Isles on the Disney Dream during its first season in Europe.

“We are thrilled to have five ships at sea in summer 2023 with a wide array of destinations for families to enjoy,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president & general manager of Disney Cruise Line. “These Disney Cruise Line sailings will take families on summer adventures in ways that only Disney can do, delighting guests of all ages with dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, unique character encounters, the ease and indulgence of carefree days at sea and the uncompromising guest service that defines a Disney vacation.”

Bookings open to the public May 9, 2022. For more details, visit the  Summer 2023 itineraries  page of disneycruise.com.

Disney Dream Marks Inaugural Season in Europe For its first-ever summer season in Europe, the Disney Dream will call on a wide variety of destinations among the most treasured in the world. With sailings anywhere from four to 11 nights, the Disney Dream will sail from Barcelona and Rome to picturesque ports of call throughout the Mediterranean, including a first-ever seven-night sailing to the Greek Isles with stops in the ever-popular ports of Santorini and Mykonos. 

Late summer/early fall departures of the Disney Dream from Southampton will feature cruises to a wealth of destinations including Spain, France, the British Isles, Norway and Iceland. New ports of call include the postcard-worthy La Rochelle, France and two new ports in Norway – Skjolden, home to a wealth of natural attractions, and Sandnes, a small city just outside the metropolis of Stavanger known for its outdoor activities. 

Summer 2023 sailings to Alaska aboard Disney Wonder The breathtaking natural beauty of Alaska will combine with the magic of Disney on five-, seven- and nine-night sailings on the Disney Wonder from Vancouver, Canada. Beginning in May, cruisers will be invited to discover exciting ports like Ketchikan and Skagway, with their prehistoric glaciers, gold mining relics and spectacular land- and sea-life. Three Alaskan itineraries call at Icy Strait Point, home to a coastal rainforest, wilderness tours and – for thrill-seekers – ziplining above the treetops.

Tropical Escapes to the Bahamas and Caribbean from Florida Sun-splashed tropical isles throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean will await guests on three Disney Cruise Line ships from Florida in summer 2023. 

For its first full summer of sailing, the Disney Wish will homeport in Port Canaveral near Orlando for a series of three- and four-night Bahamas cruises to Nassau and Disney’s private island oasis, Castaway Cay. The Disney Wish will feature exciting new additions including Disney’s first “Frozen”-themed theatrical dining experience and AquaMouse, a wild water adventure and first-ever Disney attraction at sea.

Port Canaveral will also be the departure point for the Disney Fantasy for sailings ranging in length from five to 10 nights. In addition to seven-night cruises to popular ports in the eastern and western Caribbean, guests will also be able to experience a five-night Bahamian sailing with back-to-back calls at Castaway Cay, a 10-night southern Caribbean itinerary to the islands of Aruba and Bonaire and an eight-night cruise featuring two days on the beautiful pink sand beaches of Bermuda.

The Disney Magic will make its summer home in Miami for an assortment of exciting destinations. Starting May 27, the Disney Magic will sail four-night Bahamas cruises and five-night western Caribbean voyages, followed by two seven-night sailings in July to the eastern and western Caribbean. Select summer voyages aboard the Disney Magic will include double days – for double the fun – at Castaway Cay.

Where can we find prices?

Starting prices are currently on DCL’s website. I am working on a opening day pricing summary.

Maybe the Disney Dream will be coming to New York CIty next fall in 2023

Oh my. I’m already stashing away money for the NYC to Orlando jaunt.

Any idea where the Magic will be between New Orleans & San Juan in April/May 2023?

Currently penciling in a dry dock.

I expect sky high prices for those long cruises in Europe. Scott, anything on your wish list ?

A classic ship is back in Florida! *happy dance*

Going to be real excited about this.

Great release, was hoping it was gonna be Fantasy going to Europe though- the revival of the NYC Horn?? Also, I wish they would throw some Caribbean sailings on Wish into the mix- would definitely book one of those if it was an option.

There is going to be a issue on July 9th, 2023, since both Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish are scheduled to be there at the same time according this release.

Also, will be an issue on September 29th, as both Disney Magic and Disney Fantasy are scheduled to be on Castaway Cay on that day.

Not going to be an issue once DCL publishes the actual port orders and I can make the necessary updates. This is why I mention under each ship’s summary: “Please note, the port order may be different due to fleet deployment and will be adjusted once the full detailed itineraries are available to view on Disney Cruise Line’s website.”

9/3/23 sailing using the The Eider Canal? Map suggests not.
