The happiest place on earth is also the happiest place at sea. Disney Cruise Line offers the full Magic Kingdom experience on the water, with Disney characters, themed dining experiences, spectacular Broadway-style live shows and entertainment for the whole family.
The Disney ocean fleet is made up of five ships, with a sixth launching in late 2024. They carry between 2,500 and 4,000 passengers, and are hugely popular with families and Disney fanatics alike. Onboard, you can expect the signature magic of Disney at every turn. Meet the heroes of Marvel and Star Wars, have high tea with a princess, learn the secrets of your favourite Disney animation, sing along to the music of Frozen in a live show and dance the night away beneath fireworks at a pirate-themed deck party.
When the parents need some down time, there are adults-only areas on each of the Disney cruise ships, including swimming pools, fine dining restaurants, the indulgent spa, and lively bars and nightclubs. Children of all ages will love the kids’ clubs, with fun activities and memorable moments.
