Disney cruise ship at sea

Set sail for a world-class family holiday

With decks of sun-drenched Disney magic you won’t find anywhere else, Disney Cruise Line sets every family member on course for spectacular Disney entertainment and unrivalled relaxation. With the chance to explore the cultural coasts of the Mediterranean, the historic sights of Northern Europe or even the glistening sands of the Caribbean, this is a truly amazing opportunity to enjoy those must-see destinations on your family wish-list.

And best of all, you’ll return home to your ship each night, where plenty of Disney magic awaits, from dedicated areas for kids and adults, to enchanting entertainment and exciting activities that the whole family can enjoy together.

An unforgettable experience for adults and kids alike

Here, adults find excitement and indulgence. Children discover that dreams really do come true. And together, they create memories that will last a lifetime. You’ll be treated to breathtaking Disney stage productions, first-run films, dance parties and a thrilling open-air pirate-themed deck party. Plus many voyages also include fireworks at sea, when weather permits.

Fun for kids

From pirate ships and princesses to a nonstop, interactive wonderland, almost an entire deck is dedicated to kids aged 3–17, with exclusive children’s clubs featuring some of the longest operating hours at sea.

Fun for adults

Take your pick — exclusive spa and adults-only pool? Done. Chic romantic restaurant? Superb late-night entertainment area? Got those too. If you can dream it up, Disney Cruise Line has it covered.

Fun all together

Dazzling original Disney musicals of Broadway proportions. First-run films, including 3-D digital movies. The first fireworks at sea, incredible deck parties, time with Disney Characters and more. Enjoy it all together.

Children with disabilities

Disney cruise ships have a selection of themed play spaces for children of all ages. Onboard Youth Activity programmes are open to children who are fully potty trained, able to interact comfortably within the counsellor-to-child ratio groups and with peers of their own physical size. Teen and tween activities (ages 11–14 and 14–17) are also available in separate areas away from younger children.

Parents can make a request with the Youth Activities team onboard to have a child with disabilities partake in modified participation for a limited time period during the cruise. Disney’s ability to fulfil the request will depend upon the child’s needs, the availability of counsellors, programme participation and other applicable considerations. Disney Cruise Line cannot guarantee that all special requests will be accommodated.
