Disney Cruises

There's a lot to like about Disney cruises. Both ships have new itineraries and new entertainment too. The line offers weekly 3- to 7-day cruises and a few longer special voyages. You can even get a Disney Cruise Line vacation package that combines a cruise with a stay at Disney World.

Disney Cruise Line guests enjoy the only firework display aboard a cruise ship. It's part of the Pirates in the Caribbean dinner and deck party. The evening begins with a feast in the dining room, then continues with an evening sail-away celebration duel between Captain Hook and Captain Mickey. All guests get bandanas, performers repel from atop the ship's funnel, and a fireworks display lights up the night.

Disney Cruises have the most extensive youth activity area at sea, filling nearly an entire deck of the ship with supervised programs for five age-specific groups of children and teens. The Oceaneer Club is home to Peter Pan's Neverland and the 3-7 year set, while the Oceaneer Lab is reserved for the 8-12 ages, themed for the more inquisitive as a science lab with computers and experiment stations.

Activities for 3-4 year olds include Sebastian's Musical Sea Search - a hunt for instruments; once they're found, everyone has a place in the band for a big concert. The next great celebrity chef could be discovered at The Junior Chef Experience where 5-7 year old children work together to bake chocolate chip cookies. 8-9 year old kids get in front of a camera and produce a commercial. 10-12 year olds learn about other cultures in an interactive quiz game. Infants and toddlers (ages 12 weeks to three years) are cared for at Flounder's Reef Nursery, allowing parents the opportunity to explore adult areas on their own.

From elegant dinners, to backstage tours, to the exclusive Quiet Cove pool, adults will find endless ways to relax and enjoy themselves aboard in areas set-aside just for them on Disney cruises.

The Vista Spa and Salon has expanded to include the addition of three specially designed indoor/outdoor treatment suites. Each suite features an indoor treatment room connected to a private outdoor verandah, complete with personal hot tub, open-air shower and a luxurious chaise lounge. The fitness center has also nearly doubled in size, providing more space for exercise equipment and private one-on-one consultations. Adults may also opt to dine at Palo, a restaurant featuring sweeping views and northern Italian cuisine.

Disney Cruises from Port Canaveral

3-night Bahamas cruises on the Disney Cruise Line's Disney Wonder leave from Port Canaveral on Thursdays, in every month of the year. Spend a day in Nassau on the Bahamas. Then another day at Castaway Cay, Disney's private island. These short and affordable trips are great for first-time cruisers.

4-night Bahamas cruises on the Disney Wonder leave on Sundays, also throughout the year. You'll spend a day in Nassau and one at Castaway Cay; and an additional day at sea to enjoy all the onboard activities.

The Disney Cruise Line's Disney Magic makes longer one-week cruises from Port Canaveral to the Caribbean. Eastern Caribbean cruises visit the islands of St Maarten, St Thomas and Castaway Cay. Western Caribbean cruises go to Key West, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Castaway Cay. Departures in the winter and spring months. See the ship page for more details on these trips and on a Panama Canal cruise to Los Angeles.
