These ports feature sailings to destinations in the U.S., Mexico, Europe, Canada, and the Caribbean. Most voyages last from 3 to 15 days, with the cruise length varying by its destination and itinerary. You can also book shore excursions through Disney, which are known as Port Adventures. Excursions include one-of-a-kind experiences, such as monkey encounters in Barbados or submarine trips in places, such as Cozumel, Mexico. The private Caribbean island, Castaway Cay, is also a popular getaway destination in the Bahamas. Disney ships offer a family-friendly onboard experience with their themed pools and kid clubs.

Disney Cruises Things To Do

  • A Disney Cruise Line cruise is designed primarily for families and makes planning a family vacation super easy. Therefore, Disney Cruise Line vacations are directed to multigenerational families, particularly families with young children. However, that does not mean the cruise line forgets the adults, as it features adult-only specialty restaurants, nightclubs, and quiet pools on all its four ships. While the large staterooms attract families, they also invite interest from a small number of honeymooners, couples, and singles. Anyone who wants a more peaceful cruise vacation should choose sailing outside the summer months, as cruise-goers begin to subside and the pace is therefore slower. The people on a Disney cruise enjoy its youthful vibe, as is evidenced by the cruise line's sail-away dance parties – each of which connect some of Disney's most lovable characters with Disney cruise guests. Pools are also designed for kid-friendly activities and adults who want to relive their childhood once again. If you love activities, such as miniature golf, ping-pong, or similar kid-friendly pastimes, you will feel right at home on a Disney cruise ship. In fact, anyone who loves Disney will also love a Disney cruise ship vacation.
