Magic and enchantment await you onboard the family-friendly, happy, and everlasting ships of Disney Cruise Line. Not to anyone’s surprise, Disney cruises are quite popular among families with children and teens. They are also a great choice for adults, with the incorporation of adult-only areas, such as lounges, bars, nightclubs, specialty restaurants, and spa areas. Of the seven ships currently in their fleet or coming soon, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder are 83,000-ton sister ships that feature an amazing range of onboard activities for everyone. Sister ships Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy are 130,000-ton vessels featuring a fun AquaDuck water coaster and inside staterooms with Virtual Portholes. Sister ships Disney Wish, Disney Treasure and Disney Destiny (expected to begin sailing in November 2025), the fleet’s largest 144,000-ton vessels, introduce new features such as AquaMouse water coaster, unique storytelling experience known as Disney Uncharted Adventure, and 1923 restaurant celebrating the golden age of Disney animation.
The accommodations onboard all Disney cruise ships are well-appointed, elegant, and comfortable, and most have split bathrooms (a great feature for families traveling together). Ensuring that families can travel in the same room together, all ships have staterooms that can accommodate anywhere from 3 to 5 guests, as well as suites that have a capacity for up to 8 guests. Concierge Suites are the most appealing accommodations onboard, featuring 1 to 2 bedrooms and 1 to 2 levels (Tower Suites are the most premium two-story accommodations offering nearly 2,000 square feet of space, a private elevator, and a Grand spiral staircase), a private and spacious veranda, and extra premium amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, exclusive access to the Concierge Lounge, priority check-in and boarding, dining reservation confirmations, and much more. Verandah staterooms, also great for families, are perfect for those who want to wake up and privately enjoy the beautiful ocean air or unwind to it at night. Oceanview and inside staterooms are also available for travelers seeking simpler accommodations. No matter your budget and your needs, you can rest assured that there is the perfect room onboard Disney Cruise Line for you.
When it comes to Disney’s onboard lifestyle, you can be sure that you’ll discover wondrous experiences around every corner. Among the highlights aboard each Disney cruise ship are spacious staterooms, most with split bathrooms, Disney Broadway-style musicals, 3D movies, swimming pools, youth clubs, nightclubs, lounges, and plenty of fun dining options. While on a spectacular cruise, you’re certain to encounter some of the most popular Disney characters onboard… great for a photo op! Select ships also offer Holidays at Sea on select itineraries, perfect for those who are huge fans of seasonal magic adventures at sea (parents and children alike!). These events are jam-packed with character greetings, interactive activities for the whole family, movie screenings, and more.
Dining onboard Disney cruises is a true adventure in itself, as Disney features a unique “rotational” dining schedule. What this means is that you and your personal wait staff will “rotate” to one of the ship’s three main restaurants every evening (with two set times available), ensuring you enjoy a delicious meal in a unique setting every night of your cruise. Animator’s Palate found onboard Dream, Wonder, Magic, and Fantasy, features a live and innovative dinner show starring some of the most beloved movie characters. Other main dining venues aboard different Disney cruise ships include Lumiere’s, Rapunzel’s Royal Table, Royal Palace, Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, 1923, Plaza de Coco, and Enchanted Garden, all of which feature their own live entertainment and hidden surprises. Sodas served during dinner time in the main restaurants are complimentary. A 24-hour room service is also a convenient option that’s also available on all cruise ships.

Unsurprisingly, Disney Cruise Line features an incredible youth program onboard every ship, split into different age categories. The company also offers the longest youth program 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 fun. Your kids will make incredible memories that will be remembered for years to come! At Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Oceanaeer Lab, children ages 3 through 10 years old can participate in a variety of activities hosted by specially trained, caring counselors. Among the many activities available are storytelling, virtual games, dress-up, arts and crafts, popular movies, and themed games. The kid’s clubs are open until late 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. Tweens and teens can hang and chill in their own exclusive spaces until even later with an assortment of activities available (like karaoke, video game challenges, trivia shows, dancing and tons more) – all while being supervised by the cool Disney staff at Edge (for ages 11 to 14) and Vibe (for ages 14 to 17). There is also The Hideaway, an all-new space designed exclusively for older kids and young adults ages 18 to 20 (on Wish, Treasure, and Destiny). For little ones ages 6 months up to 3 years, daycare is available at “it’s a small world” nursery, found onboard all line's cruise ships.
Because Disney Cruise Line is an especially popular product among families, they provide large accommodations onboard all of their ships. You can rest in absolute comfort with extra storage and split bathrooms in most rooms, making getting ready easier for everyone. Privacy curtains, sofa beds, in-room movies, and attentive service from housekeeping ensure your stay will be smooth sailing. Guests in large travel parties can even request adjoining rooms!
Sure, Disney Cruise Line is a favorite among families and children, but it’s also very popular with adults who want some “alone time.” Parents can enjoy time to themselves, to relax or let loose, while they can rest assured knowing that their kids are being taken care of by the well-trained staff at youth clubs. Adults can escape to the privacy of fabulous adult-only spaces, including the Senses Spa & Salon, where you can treat yourself to a couples’ massage in a private spa villa or attend a rainforest-themed aromatherapy steam room or a dry sauna. The Quiet Cove Pool, another great place to relax, features a whirlpool and outdoor bars. For a romantic dinner, you can spend some time at the elegant, adult-only Palo (on Magic and Wonder), Palo Steakhouse (on Wish and Treasure), or Remy (on Dream and Fantasy) restaurant. Adults can also dance the night away in any of the nightclubs and lounges on each Disney cruise ship.
Disney Cruise Line won numerous awards recognizing them as the top cruise line for families, including the US News & World Report: 2024 Best Cruises Ranking's "Best Cruise Lines for Families" and 2023 The Points Guy Award "Best Family Cruise Line" and Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Award "Best for Families." The company was also called "#1 Best Cruise Lines in the Caribbean" by US News & World Report: 2024 Best Cruises Ranking.
Disney recently announced their plans to increase the award-winning fleet with four new ships that will debut between 2027 and 2031. The cruise ship names, designs, and itineraries are still in development. Several vessels are already in the works. The line debuts Destiny in 2025 and also introduces Adventure in 2025, the first Disney Cruise Line ship to homeport in Asia and sail from Singapore.
The company debuts Treasure in 2024, a sister ship to Wish, with brand new venues, such as Plaza de Coco restaurant offering traditional Mexican dishes with a modern twist and the world's first theatrical dining experience, the Haunted Mansion Parlor bar with craft cocktails and incredible crew costumes, Jumbeaux's Sweets shop inspired by Zootopia, and new exclusive show Disney The Tale of Moana, new “Guardians of the Galaxy” dinner show, all-new AquaMouse storyline, and much more!
In 2022, the company presented Wish that maintains Disney’s traditional homage to classical ocean cruising while offering exciting new features, more technology, and even more magical elements than ever before! Weighing at approximately 144,000 tons made her one of the largest ships in the fleet, surpassing Dream and Fantasy. She is powered by liquefied natural gas, one of the cleanest fuels in the world, and boasts AquaMouse, an industry-first attraction at sea! This whimsical water ride takes you through 760 feet of turns and twists around the side of the ship, featuring colorful lighting, music, and special effects of the wonderful world of Mickey and Minnie. The vessel also features the industry-first Disney Uncharted Adventure, a unique interactive experience that offers a new look at some favorite classic Disney storytelling.
In all, this expansion of the cruise line's fleet more than doubled its overall passenger capacity. The new ships are purposely built with families in mind, featuring specially designed areas and activities for each member of the family to allow for both quality time together and wonderful individual experiences. The focus is to provide a setting where families can reconnect, adults can recharge and kids can immerse themselves in worlds only Disney can create.
