The Disney Cruise Line
Disney Cruise Line for New Cruisers
Disney Cruise Line offers a vacation experience unlike any other that magically brings families together while still providing kid- and adult-only time that caters to their unique needs. Discover what makes a Disney cruise a one-of-a-kind voyage that includes the attention to detail, world-class hospitality and legendary service that Disney is famous for—and that only Disney could provide.
Bringing Families Together
- Top-deck fun under the sun (and moon) happens at Goofy's Pool with the Ariel View jumbo screen playing favorite Disney movies. Kids, adults, and Disney Characters dance and play at themed deck parties that include the only fireworks at sea.
- Enchanting Broadway-style, original Disney live shows that can't be found on any other cruise line and the only first-run movies at sea make for perfect family date nights. On a Disney cruise you can enjoy the same films you'd pay to see at a theater on land, some in spectacular Disney Digital 3-D.
- Kids and adults can shine like superstars at Studio Sea, where everyone can get in on the action with karaoke, TV-style game shows and other family activities.
- Lose yourselves at Disney's private island paradise! All Bahamian and Caribbean cruises stop at Castaway Cay, featuring inviting beaches and adventures to satisfy kids, teens and adults.
Immersing Kids in One-of-a-Kind Experiences
- At Disney's Oceaneer Club and Disney's Oceaneer Lab, children ages 3-12 years old play in spaces fueled by Disney storytelling and participate in a variety of activities hosted by specially trained, caring Disney counselors. From pirate training with Captain Hook, do-si-do-ing with Snow White, a slumber party with Goofy and much more, kids are immersed in Disney fun that will be remembered for years to come. Disney also offers the longest operating hours at sea, so the fun doesn't have to end for kids; and parents can also enjoy a night out knowing their kids are well taken care of and having a ball. The clubs are open continuously from 9 a.m. until midnight and provide kid meals during lunch and dinner hours at no extra charge. Most other cruise line youth programs close at various times throughout the day and charge an hourly fee per child after 10 p.m.
- Teens can hang and chill in their own parents- and sibling-free space until 2:30 a.m. with activities like karaoke, video game challenges, trivia showdowns, dance parties and tons more — all under the supervision of a cool staff who likes to join in the fun.
Entertainment
Pampering & Relaxing Adults
- Parents crave a vacation plenty of family time and some guilt-free time to recharge their batteries. With Disney Cruise Line you can have the best of both worlds, all with the peace of mind that your kids are being well taken care of by the best of the best and a name you can trust&Disney.
- Escape to the privacy of serene, adults-only spaces, including the Vista Spa & Salon — where you can indulge in a couples massage in a private spa villa — and the Quiet Cove Pool, featuring a whirlpool and outdoor bars.
- For the ultimate romantic dinner, slip away to the elegant, adults-only Palo, where you can sip wine, enjoy the view and each other.
- Dance the night away on a theme night or unwind to the soothing rhythms of world-class musicians at any of several superior nightclubs and lounges.
Dining
Making Traveling with Little Ones Easier
- Disney takes care of our youngest cruisers. We are one of very few cruise lines that offer babysitting services. Flounder's Reef Nursery provides high-quality care to infants as young as 12 weeks old—the youngest age in the cruise industry. Disney also offers the longest operating hours at among the lowest rates. Flounder's Reef Nursery provides parents some time alone with the peace of mind that their little ones are having fun and are well taken care of.
- In addition, an exclusive partnership with Babies Travel Lite provides our Guests the added convenience of being able to order their favorite brand name baby products and have them delivered directly to their stateroom before they sail, making packing and getting to the ship even more hassle-free for families with little ones.
Legendary Service
- Disney knows families better than anyone and combines that knowledge with our world renowned service and attention to detail to ensure everyone in the family has a magical vacation.
- Just one example of our service is the family-friendly "rotational dining" concept pioneered by Disney that continues to be available only on Disney Cruise Line. Our guests visit one of 3 themed restaurants on the first night of their cruise and meet their serving staff. On subsequent nights, Guests rotate to the other restaurants with their same serving staff following them. Guests receive star treatment because their dedicated serving staff becomes familiar with the unique needs and preferences of everyone in the family and go the extra mile to make dining a magical experience.
Family Dining Flexibility
- Disney makes it easy for families to come together for meals by offering a variety of ways to dine ranging from quick-service locations on the top decks and complimentary room service to 3 uniquely themed restaurants.
- Disney is proud to offer a unique service called "Dine & Play" to families dining in the second seating. The Dine & Play service allows families to still enjoy dinner together but ensures kid's meals are served at a faster pace so they can leave the dining room and enjoy activities at Disney's Oceaneer Club and Disney's Oceaneer Lab. Kids are picked up by Disney Youth Activities counselors and the adults can stay in dining room to enjoy the rest of their meal at a leisurely pace.
- Disney also offers complimentary soda, coffee, and tea at a 24-hour beverage station on the top deck and in the dining rooms. Most other cruise lines charge per person per day for soda.
Staterooms Designed with Families in Mind
- Rest in absolute comfort with extra storage and split bathrooms in most rooms that make getting ready easier for everyone. Privacy curtains, sofa beds, in-room Disney movies and attentive service from housekeeping ensure your stay will be smooth sailing.
- Guests in large travel parties can even request adjoining rooms.
