How Many Disney Cruises to Hawaii Are There?

In comparison with other Disney Cruise Line destinations, Hawaii has significantly fewer sailings than other itineraries. There are typically two to four Disney Cruises visiting Hawaii each year, typically in the spring and fall.

Due to the small number of cruises, it is essential to book your trip as early as possible since there are only a limited number of staterooms available. The Vacationeer can help you pick out the perfect Disney cruise based on your budget and preferences.

How Long Are Disney’s Hawaii Cruises?

Disney Cruise Line offers a unique opportunity to experience the stunning beauty of Hawaii through a limited number of Hawaiian cruises. Disney Hawaiian cruises usually about 10 nights, while South Pacific Cruises (which also include Hawaii) last around 15 nights .

Experienced and adventurous cruisers may prefer these extended Disney cruises to Hawaii and Disney South Pacific cruises, spending more time in Disney’s Hawaiian ports of call and aboard the magnificent Disney Wonder out at sea. First-time Disney cruisers , however, may find the shorter Disney cruises from Florida to Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island , a better choice, as it offers a glimpse of Disney’s magical experiences without the commitment of an extended trip while still being in a sunny tropical setting.

Since availability is limited, it’s important to act quickly to secure your spot on one of these exclusive cruises. The Vacationeer can provide expert trip-planning guidance to ensure you choose the perfect Disney cruise that fits your budget and preferences. They can also keep you informed about future Disney Cruise Line Hawaiian cruise itineraries. Don’t hesitate to reach out to them with any inquiries – they’re friendly, and their services are free!

How Much Do Disney Cruises to Hawaii Cost?

Guests are often pleasantly surprised at how much value they receive on Disney cruises, and these Hawaiian cruises are no exception.

For example, the September 2025 10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Vancouver to Honolulu starts at $5,191 .

The cost of your Disney Hawaiian cruise depends on the stateroom type you choose and the number of people in your party. More luxurious staterooms generally begin at a higher price than those in the Inside tier. Adding more than two people to your reservation will also increase the cost.

It’s important to note that prices and availability are subject to change, so it’s always wise to check with The Vacationeer for the most up-to-date information.

Also don’t forget to factor in airfare; these cruises are typically one-way voyages which do not return to the original departure port. You’ll almost certainly need to purchase “open jaw” airfare, with one leg of the flight being as far away as Canada or possibly even Australia.

Disney Hawaiian Cruises: What’s Included in the Price?

Disney cruises are all-inclusive , which is a selling point and a place where value is found. Dining, entertainment, activities, and services are all included in the price, as are character meet-and-greets, movie screenings, Broadway-quality shows, water activities, and fireworks.

Oceaneer Club, Edge, and Vibe provide complimentary activities for children and teens. At the same time, adults can access a range of amenities such as an adult-only pool, nightclub, and fitness center.

Moreover, the price of a Disney cruise includes port expenses, taxes, and fees, making it an exceptional value for families. However, keep in mind that airfare, gratuities , specialty restaurants, spas, shore excursions (Port Adventures), bottled beverages, and alcohol purchased on a Disney cruise aren’t covered.

How Much are Taxis from the Airport to Port of Honolulu’s Pier 2?

Taxis are readily available at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) for travel to the Port of Honolulu’s Pier 2 Cruise Terminal. However, it’s important to note that they are generally more expensive than ridesharing services such as Uber X and Uber Green. According to recent estimates, a taxi ride from HNL to the Disney Honolulu Cruise Terminal costs around $45 , excluding tips. This amount is higher than what you’d pay for Uber X (but comparable to Uber XL fares).

Which Vancouver Airport Should I Use for a Disney Hawaiian Cruise?

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is the best airport to fly into for a Disney Hawaiian cruise that begins in Vancouver . YVR is just 9.5 miles (15.3 kilometers) from the terminal and offers various transportation options, including Uber, taxis, shuttles, limos, public transit, and car rentals.

The airport is known for its excellent restaurants, lounges, and shops, providing passengers with a relaxing and refreshing experience before or after their journey. YVR’s convenience, transportation options, and amenities make it an ideal place to begin or end a Disney Hawaiian cruise.

How Do I Get from Vancouver Airport to Disney’s Canada Place Terminal?

Ways to get from Vancouver Airport to Canada Place Terminal:

• Ridesharing apps (Uber, Lyft) are popular and affordable.
• Taxis are available but more expensive than ridesharing.
• Public transit via Canada Line Rapid Transit SkyTrain takes 26 minutes and costs approximately $8-$10 per person per trip.
• Renting a car is possible but unnecessary as many transportation alternatives are available.
• Disney Cruise Line offers a ground transportation service for a hassle-free experience from start to finish. Transfers are available for a fee between the airport, hotel, and cruise port. Guests should make their reservations in advance. Contact Disney Cruise Line or a Disney travel planner for more information.

If you wish to add air travel, ground transportation, or a hotel stay to your Disney cruise package, we suggest working with a Disney travel planner like The Vacationeer .

What is the Uber Fare From Vancouver Airport to Disney’s Canada Place Cruise Terminal?

Uber fares from Vancouver Airport to Disney’s Canada Place Cruise Terminal depend on how far you travel and what type of vehicle you choose. The estimated cost is $29.32 for Uber X or Uber Green and $45.55 for Uber XL . The final fare may be affected by surge pricing, traffic, and other factors. Tips are not included in these estimates.

These calculations suggest that Uber X or Uber Green is the best way to save money on Disney cruise transportation.

How Much are Taxis from the Airport to the Port of Vancouver?

Taxis are readily available at the airport to take you to the Canada Place pier in Vancouver. However, they are generally pricier than ridesharing services like Uber X and Uber Green. As evidence, the estimated cost of a taxi ride from YVR to the Disney Canada Place Cruise Terminal is $45.35 (excluding tips).

How Much Does the Disney Shuttle Cost From the Airport to the Cruise Port?

For those seeking a stress-free and convenient mode of transportation between Vancouver International Airport and Disney’s Cruise Port at Canada Place, the Disney ground transportation service may be a viable option. It ensures a seamless Disney experience from the moment you step off the plane until you return to the airport.

Disney’s Vancouver shuttle service is available for $25 for a one-way trip (or $50 for a round trip) . It does cost more than a taxi or Uber, especially for families or groups of more than two, but the convenience and peace of mind associated with the Disney brand could be worth it.

Disney goes to the South Pacific - Itinerary Advice

By woostergirl , September 14, 2022 in Pacific Islands, All

Disney Cruises just announced that they will be headed to the South Pacific in 2023-2024.

Here's the website announcement:  https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/featured/hawaii-south-pacific-cruises/?CMP=EMC-1662718404|346040158&cid=PDM574172&bid=1434968276

I'm considering putting a deposit down for the 15-night South Pacific cruise from Sydney to Honolulu on February 16, 2024 Ports of call: Noumea, New Caledonia; Lautoka, Fiji; Pago Pago, American Samoa; Kahului, Maui 

Number of days at sea: 9

The prices are good, but lots of sea days. Going to American Samoa and the national park there is on my bucket list! Is this a good itinerary for those of you who have sailed in the South Pacific? Or should I consider a Paul Gaugin cruise instead? My kids will be 9 and 13 in 2024.

Thanks in advance!

Do it- sounds wonderful. And enough onboard for the kids on sea days. I LOVE sea days in So. Pacific. They are very active cruise- ports that require to to run around/tour/snorkel/beach it everywhere. So having some kick back days to just enjoy the ship is wonderful. Guessing that the long haul is Samoa-Maui? How many sea days strung together is that? If 3 or more in a row it might be a very challenging for your children. But a Disney cruise is a Disney cruise and nothing better for kids.

PG is not quite as cut out for kids but doable. Staff is wonderful and will knock themselves out helping to amuse yours. There are specific kids activities during the summer. Dining excellent, staff outstanding. I just think your kids would feel more comfortable on Disney. The only thing is that I've done similar itinerary to Disney's and I like the 11 day Tahiti much better PG. I go every 3 years. Only once on PG- six on Windstar, two Oceania. WS and O obviously not for kids.

Good decision to have. I'd go Disney with children!

Looking for some rest and relaxation in 2025? A Disney cruise might be the getaway you need!

Disney Cruise Line offers something enchanting for everyone, and in early 2025, you’ll be able to travel on a brand-new ship and choose from more Disney Cruise destinations. Whether you’re looking for a seven-night voyage or a shorter trip at sea, these newly released 2025 Disney Cruise itineraries provide an ocean of fun adventures aboard a magical fleet.

You can take an excursion that stops at one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s own island destinations in The Bahamas, experience the Disney Treasure’s inaugural season of voyages to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, or come aboard the Disney Wonder for a tropical stay in Hawaii or the South Pacific. So, mark your calendars – bookings for these itineraries open on Nov. 6, 2023.

Experience Bliss Aboard the New Disney Treasure

Be one of the first to set sail on the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Treasure. Following its maiden voyage on Dec. 21, 2024, the Disney Treasure will embark on its inaugural season of seven-night Disney Cruise Line destinations to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. These Disney Cruise voyages depart from Florida’s Port Canaveral, and with at least two days at sea, you’ll have time to enjoy the unique spaces, immersive dining, and world-class entertainment onboard the sparkling new ship.

Eastern Caribbean sailings will whisk your family away to the beautiful island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Disney’s private Castaway Cay, and either San Juan, Puerto Rico, or St. Thomas. Western Caribbean sailings promise to transport you to destinations such as Falmouth in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico.

Upcoming 2025 Disney Cruise Lineup: Delight in Disney’s Island Destinations

Choose from an assortment of three- to five-night early 2025 Disney Cruise voyages aboard the Disney Fantasy , Disney Wish , Disney Dream and Disney Magic .

Through these Disney Cruise itineraries, the Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, while the Disney Dream and Disney Magic set out from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. To sprinkle even more magic onto your Disney Cruise experience, each ship will also offer at least one special itinerary opportunity to sail to both of Disney’s own Bahamian island destinations: the stunning Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and the captivating Disney Castaway Cay .

Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is Disney Cruise Line’s celebration of The Bahamas and its newest, one-of-a-kind retreat on the island of Eleuthera. This one-of-a-kind 2025 Disney Cruise destination uniquely combines Bahamian culture and signature Disney entertainment to feature Bahamian art, storytelling, and music. The sweeping architecture, inspired by Bahamian natural wonders, is sure to leave you speechless.

Disney Castaway Cay, a beloved private island paradise in The Bahamas, continues to be a magical escape for guests of all ages. This whimsically tropical hideaway makes for a fun and relaxing beach day in a picture-perfect setting. In addition to distinct Disney touches, guests can enjoy numerous water activities and plenty of port adventures around the island for the adventure of a lifetime.

Disney Cruise Destinations Aboard the Disney Wonder

If beautiful vistas in the Pacific are calling you, catch the Disney Wonder in 2025 as it concludes its second season in Australia and New Zealand with a special 15-night South Pacific Disney Cruise itinerary from Sydney, Australia to Honolulu, Hawaii.

The Disney Wonder returns to North America in early 2025 with two incredible sailing options. In late February, a nine-night Hawaiian Island cruise sails from Honolulu to Vancouver, Canada. In early March, a five-night Disney Cruise voyage travels from Vancouver to San Diego, California. Alternatively, if you embark on a 2025 Disney Cruise from San Diego aboard the Disney Wonder, your voyage will be a three- to seven-night adventure to the Mexican Riviera or the Baja Peninsula.

Disney Cruise Line Offers Adventures from Texas on the Disney Magic

The Disney Magic offers several early 2025 Disney Cruise departures embarking from Texas. From January to March 2025, the Disney Magic will sail from Galveston, Texas to Progreso and Cozumel in Mexico and Grand Cayman.

Starting in April, the Disney Wonder will set sail on a special seven-night Disney cruise itinerary from the Lone Star State to San Juan, Puerto Rico. The ship drops anchor at both of Disney’s private island destinations before returning to Florida for a series of three- to four-night trips from Fort Lauderdale. Following those voyages, several four- and five-night sailings take place from Port Canaveral, Florida, to Nassau, Bahamas. These Disney Cruise Line destinations also include both of Disney’s island getaways in The Bahamas.

Best Disney cruise ships for everyone — even Disney adults

Disney cruises are the stuff of magic, but they're also magically expensive. Before you shell out thousands per day on a vacation, you likely want to know: What's the best Disney ship for fans? What's the best Disney ship for adults? Which ship, if any, will work for me if I'm traveling by myself or with babies, kids or teens?

Disney Cruise Line is a brand that excels at providing both fun and luxurious experiences. With a fleet that has just three classes and five ships, Disney can focus on making sure that each vessel lives up to The Mouse's high standards for many types of cruisers. In other words, whichever vessel you choose, you'll likely have a great time.

However, there are subtle nuances that determine the best Disney ships for certain travelers. I'll help you figure out which Disney cruise ship is best so you can get the most out of a voyage in the happiest place on the high seas.

Disney Fantasy: Best Disney cruise ship for adults

Because the line excels at providing family-friendly and kid-focused amenities, when it comes to a Disney cruise, adults often wonder whether they would enjoy themselves if they were to sail. Fortunately, the answer is almost always yes — Disney cruise ships are great for adults .

Disney Cruise Line does the little things well. Travelers of all ages can enjoy character interactions and appreciate thoughtfully laid-out cabins.

If you're worried you'll be outnumbered by kids or elicit weird looks for sailing as a Disney adult, never fear. Bring your mouse ears, and prepare for some fun. Or, if you want, avoid the kitschy Disney stuff, and enjoy the terrific entertainment and superb food offerings mixed with stellar service.

All Disney ships have adults-only sun decks and pool areas that are closed to kids, as well as bars and clubs that are off-limits to anyone younger than 18.

With that in mind, one vessel stands out for the older set: Disney Fantasy.

The ship boasts a dozen bars, including three exclusive to the vessel. In addition to bars in the atrium, by the pool and sun deck, and in the theater, you'll also find the Europa area, which is only for adults after 9 p.m.

It's got five watering holes; among them are an Irish pub and a lounge that offers views of major European cities via LED screens that change every 15 minutes. But the standouts are French Champagne bar Ooh La La; La Piazza, which is carousel themed and gives off Italian vibes; and The Tube, a club with a London Underground theme that hosts trivia by day.

What's also great about the ship for adults is that it's a mid-sized vessel. It's big enough to offer plenty of activities but smaller than the new behemoth Disney Wish, which features grown-up areas that are spread out instead of conveniently clustered like they are on Disney Fantasy.

Finally, if you're an adult who's hoping to steer as clear of children as possible while still enjoying your own Disney experience, know that Disney Fantasy has a tremendous kids club. It features Andy's room from "Toy Story," as well as a Tinkerbell-themed play area and the Marvel Superhero Academy, where little ones can learn to fight crime. It's so impressive that kids likely won't want to leave, meaning fewer little ones will be running wild around the ship.

Disney Wish: Best Disney cruise ship for families

Disney cruises are, hands down, the best in the industry when it comes to sailings for families with children . From thoughtful cabin design that allows for more privacy and bathroom space to character interactions, free soda, complimentary first-run movie screenings and special menus in the restaurants, the brand understands and delivers on what appeals to the youngest cruisers.

Parents will love the line's infant and toddler babysitting offerings and little — but significant — touches like the availability of kid-size life jackets by the pools.

However, the true standout is the children's programming in the onboard youth centers. Disney's sizeable kids clubs are supervised and designed to include immersive experiences that tie in with Disney's franchises and characters. (Think "Toy Story," Marvel, "Star Wars" and more.)

The best Disney ship for families is Disney Wish ; it earns high marks whether you're traveling with babies, toddlers, school-age kids or teens.

Below, I'll explain why the line's newest, largest vessel is ideal.

Disney Wish: Best Disney cruise ship for kids

Disney Cruise Line's kids club, the Oceaneer Club (for ages 3-12), is cavernous. It has five separate sections on Disney Wish, including Mickey and Minnie's Captain's Deck and Fairytale Hall, which offer climbing structures and princess play for younger children. Kids will also be able to walk into a scene from "Star Wars" in Star Wars Cargo Bay, learn how to save the world at the Marvel Superhero Academy and participate in STEM projects at the Walt Disney Imagineering Lab.

The spaces are so fun that you're likely to see very little of your children during a sailing on Disney Wish. You might even be disappointed that you can't spend time there yourself.

The best part? It's all free, and there is dedicated youth staff that oversees each day's activities, as well as nighttime movie-watching and dance parties while parents enjoy some time out and about. Oh, and did I mention there's a slide that takes kids from the ship's stunning atrium down one deck to the entrance?

Outside the Oceaneer Club, kids will love Disney Wish's top-deck activities, which include mini-golf, an obstacle course, pools and waterslides. Don't miss the AquaMouse, a raft-based attraction with digital elements and see-through tubing.

The whole family can also enjoy Pirate Night, offered once per sailing. On the agenda are fireworks and appearances by Captain Jack Sparrow. Passengers are wholeheartedly encouraged to dress up.

Regarding dining, children will enjoy not only special kids' menus but also the themed, interactive atmosphere in two of the ship's three main dining rooms: Worlds of Marvel and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure . The former amuses passengers with Ant-Man's antics after he accidentally shrinks Disney Wish with a Quantum Core. The latter is an engagement celebration for Anna and Kristoff, featuring live characters.

Disney Wish: Best Disney cruise ship for teens and tweens

For teens and tweens, Disney Wish's dedicated lounges are the feature that's likely to be most enticing, offering a more relaxed "come and go" atmosphere that's supervised but less structured. Both clubs have areas for foosball and mocktails, and they offer a general meeting place for kids in the following age groups to find their friends and hang out.

Edge is the vessel's tween club, which offers video and board games and brightly colored decor for the 11- to 14-year-old set.

Vibe is the teen club for 14- to 17-year-olds. It's a slightly more muted space with giant TVs for movie watching and video game play, plus a high-top bar area for teens needing a place to plug in their laptops and tablets. A second room can be sealed off for use by 18- to 20-year-olds on voyages with enough young adults to warrant it.

And for older kids into "Star Wars," the Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge is an immersive way to enjoy some themed fun in a more adult setting. The bar — open to all ages until 9 p.m., when it becomes an adults-only venue — takes visitors on a trip through the galaxy. A screen behind the bar changes every few minutes, with the room making noises and jumping to "hyperspace" to reach the next destination.

For anyone younger than the legal drinking age, the venue's menu offers some nonalcoholic options, including the Cloud City (oat milk with blue raspberry and ice cream) and the Temple Twist (apple, mint, pineapple, ginger beer and kiwi).

When they aren't busy lounging, teens might also enjoy Uncharted Adventure, a digital scavenger hunt that will take them around the ship to find interactive clues using their mobile phones. A bit of magic is involved, but it's the kind even a skeptical teenager might find interesting.

For more sporty fun, teens can check out the ship's waterslides or the indoor sports court, where they can play basketball or foosball.

Disney Wish: Best Disney cruise ship for babies and toddlers

Returning on Disney Wish is parent favorite It's a Small World Nursery. The expanded space caters to children from 6 months to 3 years old. It has a nap room with cribs, a changing area and an activity room with floormats, age-appropriate toys and a TV.

Dedicated counselors offer group babysitting in the nursery for the littlest cruisers on a first come, first served basis for $9 per hour for the first child and $8 per hour for any additional children in the same family. Counselors will feed and change, as necessary, any infants or toddlers in their care.

Disney Magic: Best Disney cruise ship for singles

Built in 1998, Disney Magic is the oldest vessel in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. That means it's also one of the least expensive, which is important if you're sailing alone and stuck paying a single supplement. (Disney ships do not have cabins for one.)

Additionally, it's one of the two smallest Disney Cruise Line ships. Its size creates a more intimate experience, particularly in the adult areas, where you can meet other cruisers traveling alone.

Disney Magic retains a nautical feel that's more mature than what you'll find on Disney Wish, which feels more like a mainstream megaship. However, Magic retains the "wow" factor, featuring well-appointed cabins, excellent dining options and jaw-dropping entertainment that rivals what you'd find on Broadway.

Disney Cruise Line also does a great job of seating solo cruisers together during meals so they don't have to dine alone. If you prefer a table by yourself, ask the dining staff. You can also take meals at the buffet, order room service, or check out one of the ship's alternative eateries, including adults-only Italian restaurant Palo , O'Gill's pub or several poolside venues.

Disney Wonder: Best Disney ship for West Coast cruisers

With Florida serving as the undisputed cruise capital of the world, travelers living on the West Coast are often out of luck. Not so with Disney Cruise Line.

The best Disney ship for people wishing to set sail from California or Vancouver is Disney Wonder. One of the line's two oldest vessels, it runs three- and four-night springtime voyages from San Diego to Baja California with calls on Ensenada, Mexico, and five- to nine-night Alaska sailings departing from Vancouver in the summer and fall.

Don't let the ship's age fool you. The line does a tremendous job of maintaining it, so it looks nearly new. Service, food and entertainment live up to Disney's high standards.

If you're looking for something different than Disney's standard West Coast offerings, you can also snag one-way repositioning voyages when the ship changes locations seasonally. Examples include sailings from San Diego to Vancouver or from Vancouver to Honolulu.

Disney Dream: Best Disney cruise ship for longer voyages

Most of Disney's sailings are short, whisking passengers away for three to five days. The itineraries are fairly standard, featuring port calls in the Caribbean and the Bahamas, including the line's private island, Castaway Cay .

If you're craving something a bit longer or want to visit a far-flung destination, Disney Dream is the ship you'll want to book.

Offering 10-, 11- and 12-night voyages in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, Disney Dream takes passengers to ports like Rome (Civitavecchia), Florence (Livorno), Barcelona, Athens, Santorini, Southampton, Reykjavik and Copenhagen.

Remember that all of Disney Dream's Europe cruises depart from within Europe, so you'll need to factor flights — potentially costly open-jaw ones — into your budget.

Bottom line

Disney has something for every cruiser, regardless of age, whether you're a parent or a Disney adult, and whether you choose to cruise alone or with friends or family.

The sailings can be expensive, so you'll want to book the best ship for you before you make such a sizeable investment. Luckily, Disney Cruise Line's five ships offer a variety of experiences for all sorts of travelers.
