WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

What's unique about a Disney cruise?

World-class Disney entertainment. Non-stop activities for the whole family.  

Imagine if you could take an incredible road trip to some of the world’s most incredible locales. Arriving in a spectacular new destination every day. But instead of packing (and unpacking) your bags in a new hotel each night, cramming into a car for mind-numbing hours of highway views, imagine if the hotel itself was moving. Gliding on the water. With spectacular ocean views from the plush comfort of your bed.

That’s the wonder of a cruise vacation.

If you’ve never taken a Disney cruise, you might wonder how they differ from a classic Disney theme parks vacation.

Let’s explore what makes a Disney cruise an unforgettable way to enjoy Disney at its best.

See the world -- with ease.

Sure, Central Florida (and Southern California) has its charms. But have you seen the aquamarine waters and sugar sand beaches of the Caribbean… with your own two eyes? Have you tasted Italian carbonara… in Rome? Disney Cruise Line vacations are international journeys to some of the world’s most beloved destinations, and a cruise makes getting there a breeze. A sea breeze!

Let Disney entertain the kids -- while you kick back & relax.

You probably wouldn’t let your kids wander off beyond your sight while you’re in a Disney park.

On board Disney cruises, however, complimentary all-day kids clubs offer a full day’s itinerary of interactive games, activities, crafts & entertainment. Disney’s Oceaneer Club & Oceaneer Lab (ages 3 – 10), Edge (11–14) and Vibe (14–17) are so much fun that your mind will be free to wander off — while you enjoy a relaxing massage, a dip in the adults-exclusive pool, a tropical cocktail, or some alone time with your sweetheart.

In the evenings, you’re invited to take a seat for Broadway-quality musical shows, swab the decks at parties with pirates, or take part in family-friendly activities like live game shows, trivia contests, and Disney princess meet & greets.

Discover the best of Disney's top-notch service.

Prepare to be impressed. The quality of service on board Disney Cruise Line blows Disney’s landlocked hotels and restaurants out of the water. There’s no comparison.

Disney Cruise Line pioneered an innovative service framework; your team of restaurant servers follow you from night to night as you rotate through Disney’s on-board restaurants. Before long, they don’t merely know your name; they know your favorite cocktail, what temperature you prefer for your steaks, any food allergies in your party, and which desserts you might like best.

Your stateroom attendant is far more than a housekeeper; they provide vacation tips and reminders, whimsical ‘towel art,’ and invaluable guidance for navigating the ship and the endless list of activities. Together, they’re some of the most personable, friendly, “Disney-esque” Cast Members you’ll ever meet.
