What is New on the Disney Treasure?

There are two brand new dining experiences coming to the Disney Treasure: a Coco-themed theatrical experience and a Zootopia sweetshop. Read our full coverage of this brand-new Coco-themed theatrical dining experience. 

The Disney Treasure will also include Disney Parks-inspired lounges and a suite for the first time featuring Jungle Cruise, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the Haunted Mansion! EPCOT will be featured in one of the high end suites. Read more about these Disney Parks themes coming to the Disney Treasure in our guide. 

We also know that the Disney Treasure will include a brand-new stage production featuring Moana. Read everything we know about this new Broadway-caliber show.  

The popular attraction featured on the Disney Wish, AquaMouse, will include a brand new storyline that follows Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse on an adventure into an ancient temple. Guests will tour this mysterious ruin looking for a glimpse of treasure within as they, along with Mickey and Minnie, encounter mishaps and boobie traps along the way. AquareMouse was the first ever attraction to be featured on the Disney Cruise Line and we are excited to see it included on the Disney Treasure.

What is the Theme of the Disney Treasure?

The inspiration behind the theming of the Disney Treasure focuses on incorporating stories from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar, and Disney Parks adventures. The Disney Treasure will invite guests to step into careful plazas in Mexico, navigate the winding rivers of the world, dive below the ocean’s surface, and more.

Based on the description from Disney and the concept art, I feel that the theme of this Disney Cruise Line ship is inspired by adventure and incorporates designed elements from around the world. Disney shared that they have plenty of inspiration points to draw from.

What Do The Staterooms Look Like?

The staterooms aboard the Disney Treasure will feature artwork and design elements of films including “Aladdin,” “Pocahontas,” “Up” and “Encanto” to convey the inspiration of classic Disney tales of adventure.

The concierge and royal suites will focus on character journeys along with “feline sidekicks” from “The Lion King,” “The Jungle Book” and “Aladdin.”

Disney Treasure’s concierge level suites feature interiors inspired by the grasslands Simba calls home in “The Lion King.”

Hands down the most exciting of all these new suite designs is the one modeled after EPCOT's Spaceship Earth, more on this below!

Disney Treasure Great Hall

The Grand Hall is the main gathering space with its own dedicated entertainment, moments, and surprises. This is often where guests can mingle with characters and serves as the central space of the ship.

The statues and décor will focus on the ship's theme of adventure and will call on inspiration from the gilded palace and wonder of Agrabah from the film “Aladdin”

Disney Treasure Dining

The new dining experiences coming to the Disney Treasure include a Coco dining experience and a Zootopia ice cream shop. These new family-style dining experiences will join Worlds of Marvel and 1923 which are both existing and popular experiences featured on the Disney Treasure's sister ship Disney Wish.

The two walk-up cafes on the Disney Treasure will also receive new theming focusing on Disney Princesses. Familiar favorites will also join the Disney Treasure dining line up like adult-focused dining experiences and counter service options.

Plaza de Coco 

Plaza de Coco will be the first theatrical dining experience themed to the popular film Coco. The Coco-themed dining experience will feature dining tables surrounding a central stage where performances and show effects spread throughout the room.

There will be two different nights of dining experiences at Plaza de Coco guests can experience. On the first night, the story of Miguel and his familia will continue from where the movie ends. Miguel and his familia will take guests on a music-filled journey that celebrates family memories and togetherness. On the second night, Miguel will be reunited with his great-great-grandparents, Hector and Mama Imelda, and transport them to Santa Cecilia with his magic guitar for a Día de los Muertos celebration.

Both evenings will include a dinner menu of twists on traditional Mexican food along with live entertainment.

Worlds of Marvel

This Marvel experience has been a rave from all the guests that have experienced it so far! Guests can join Ant-Man and the Wasp during “Avengers: Quantum Encounter” and use their own interactive Quantum Core at the table to shrink and grow objects at the push of a button.

The dining experience features a diverse menu from all-American to rich African flavors.

Named after the year The Walt Disney Studios was founded, this sophisticated dining establishment celebrates the Walt Disney Studio in a 1920s-themed dining experience. The dining experience features theming around storyboards, sketches, and props that celebrate the early animation.

Jumbeaux’s Sweets

The Zootopia-themed sweet shop, Jumbeaux's Sweets, is modeled after the ice cream store featured in the Zootopia film. The interior of this shop will feature pink coloring, Victorian-style architecture, and a sculpture of Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. This new sweet shop will include more than 20 flavors of handmade gelato, 16 flavors of ice cream and sorbets, specialty treats, candies, and more.

Luxury Adult Dining

The Disney Treasure will also include three luxury dining experiences we've also seen on Disney Wish. The Rose, Palo Steakhouse, and Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallament will be the adult-focused dining experiences.

New Themes for Walk-Up Dining

One of the two casual walk-up cafes, Heihei Café, will draw inspiration from Moana with furniture stylings that pay homage to construction techniques used by the Polynesian people to craft seafaring vessels. Jade Cricket Café is inspired by Mulan and honors the Fa Family's “lucky” cricket with a jade sculpture and blue theming inspired by Mulan's armor.

Disney Parks Attraction Inspired Areas

There will be three areas inspired by Disney Parks attractions on the Disney Treasure plus we also received a teaser for a potential fourth area focusing on the Haunted Mansion.

Skipper Society

Skipper Society Lounge is the Jungle Cruise-themed lounge created in the vision of higher-end skippers relaxing at the end of their day. This venue features natural colorways along with camp-style furnishings all paying tribute to the famous Jungle Crusie skippers.

This lounge will include references to the Jungle Cruise all through the space including a whimsical monkey-shaped chandelier to postcards and luggage tags.

Periscope Pub 

Periscope Pub will become the Disney Cruise Line's first venue inspired by Walt Disney’s 1954 film, “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This film was also a celebrated Disney Parks attraction that was open at Walt Disney World from 1971 to 1994.

The design of this lounge will feature submarine-style interiors along with 19th-century steampunk influences with metal and industrial touches. The lounge also features a window along the ceiling which will make guests feel like Captain Nemo on the Nautilus. This new lounge will immerse guests inside the nautilus and they might just see the squid go past the mysterious window! The menu will focus on craft brews and light snacks which is fitting with the atmosphere of the lounge.

Tomorrow Tower Suite

Spaceship Earth, sometimes referred to as the EPCOT golfball by casual Disney fans, will receive its own suite inspired by its energetic design. Tomorrow Tower Suite will evoke the atmosphere of EPCOT's World Discovery neighborhood with art pieces, metal accents and futuristic colorful glass.

This suite is set high up in the ship's forward funnel and will overlook the top deck of the Disney Treasure through a large two-story window. This suite will be massive with nearly 2,000 square feet of space and comfortably sleep eight guests. This suite also includes perks like a full kitchen and a private ensuite elevator.

Haunted Mansion Parlor

Disney Treasure will also feature a Haunted Mansion lounge called the Haunted Mansion Parlor. The bar will feature craft cocktails, exclusive merchandise, and Haunted Mansion-themed decor to bring to life the story of a “jovial captain who entered the ghostly realm after a disastrous dinner with his beloved fiancé.”

Disney Treasure Stage Shows

There will be a brand new stage production coming to the Walt Disney Theatre onboard the Disney Treasure. This is exciting news as these Broadway-caliber shows are some of the biggest highlights of a Disney Cruise.

This new stage production will join existing favorites featured on other Disney Cruise ships, “Beauty and the Beast” and “Disney Seas the Adventure.”

Walt Disney Theatre

The three live stage shows will be held in the Walt Disney Theatre. The theatre is described as a show “palace” and the image above shows the same royal touches we've seen in other elements of the concept art for the Disney Treasure.

The live entertainment on Disney Cruise Lines is a must-see as these are Broadway-caliber performances unique to these cruises.

New Stage Show Coming to Disney Treasure

Disney has announced that there will also be a brand new third show created just for the Disney Treasure. This new show will focus on Moana and is titled “Disney The Tale of Moana.” This new show will be exclusive to the Disney Treasure and follow the story of Moana as she goes on the journey to save her island and restore the heart of Te Fiti. Characters like Gramma Tala, Maui, and Tamatoa will also be featured in the show plus popular songs from the film's soundtrack.

This new Moana show sounds incredible as it features new larger-than-life puppets by the puppet designers who worked on Disney’s Tony Award-winning musical “The Lion King” on Broadway. The largest puppe featured will be Te Kā which is on a scale Disney Cruise Line has never before produced. This same giant Te Kā puppet will transform into the gentle island goddess of Te Fiti once Moana restores her heart.

Moana and Maui will perform “Warrior Face” along with other classic favorites from the soundtrack like “You’re Welcome,” “We Know The Way” and “How Far I’ll Go.” The music of the show also includes a mix of languages including Tuvaluan, Tokelauan, and Samoan plus the set design is inspired by the cultures of the Pacific Islands which is especially apparent when they are on the island of Motunui.

The show sounds breathtaking, especially the song “How Far I'll Go,” with the stage demonstrating Moana's Journey with stars overhead, and a glowing manta ray to symbolize the spirit of Gramma Tala.

Beauty and the Beast Stage Show

The Beauty and the Beast stage show, already featured aboard the Disney Dream, will also be playing onboard the new Disney Treasure. This popular show holds true to the original as it focuses on the story of Belle and the Beast including favorite songs along with the two songs written by Alan Menken and Tim Rice for the reimagined film. The live stage show includes puppetry, modern theatrical design, and impressive story-telling techniques.

Seas the Adventure Show

Seas the Adventure is a show also shown on Disney Wish that showcases an adventure with Goofy as he encounters popular Disney characters and fan favorites. Some of the best moments of this show include Princess Tiana performing her song “Almost There” and Crush and Squirt from Finding Nemo showing Goofy how to “Go with the Flow” in a rendition of the song from the musical live adaptation from Animal Kingdom. There show also includes an original arrangement of Disney heroines that is exclusive to the show as Elsa, Moana, and Merida perform a powerful medley of “Into the Unknown,” “How Far I’ll Go” and “Touch the Sky.”

More Disney Treasure Recreation

Aside from all the amazing live stage performances, interactive dining experiences, and Disney Parks-inspired lounges, there is still a full list of Disney Cruise Line recreation for adults and kids to enjoy on the Disney Treasure.

AquaMouse- Disney Cruise Attraction

The AquaMouse was the first ever attraction to be featured on a Disney Cruise Line ship and first made its appearance on the Disney Wish. The Disney Treasure will also have its own AquaMouse ride with a brand new storyline as guests follow Mickey and Minnie Mouse through a mysterious ruin as they search for treasure.

Deck Pools and Splash Areas

There are seven pools staggered amongst the decks with an abundance of lounge chairs.

Sarabi will be the central space for daytime activities and adult- exclusive evening entertainment inspired by the natural beauty and openness of a savanna. It is named after Simba's mother, Sarabi, from the popular “The Lion King” film.

Deck Parties

The Disney Treasure will also include the traditional Disney Cruise Line nighttime deck celebration called Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party. This event happens one night of every voyage and guests can don pirate costumes and head to the deck for a pirate theme showing with fireworks.

 Disney Cruise Spa & Salon

There will be both a spa and salon onboard the Disney Treasure which are similar to these amenities offered on other Disney Cruise Line ships. The Senses Spa includes private treatment rooms, spa villas, wellness rooms, fitness studio, plus a steam room.

The Untangled Spa is inspired by Rapunzel and offers manicures, pedicures, teeth whitening, and skin treatments. There is also a barbershop themed after Captain Hook called Hook's Barbery.

Disney Treasure also includes other popular amenities Disney Cruise Line usually offers on their cruise ships such as a teen area, a nursery, a kids space and an activity zone for families to enjoy.

Some of these areas include Star Wars: Cargo Bay where guests can search for creatures and characters from Star Wars along with an area to interact with Disney Princesses.

The Disney Treasure is truly an amazing addition to the fleet of Disney Cruise Ships!

Everything You Need To Know About The Disney Treasure

Disney Cruise Line is in the middle of a massive expansion with three new ships set to debut alongside the five current ships. Two of the ships will be replicas of the Disney Wish and one of those is the Disney Treasure ! The latest in the fleet will be the same size and layout as the Disney Wish, but there will be plenty of reimagined spaces. Disney Cruise Line hasn’t revealed everything and there are still plenty of secrets to reveal like the new show in the Walt Disney Theater and what’s taking the place of Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge (the rumor is a Haunted Mansion bar). Here’s everything you need to know about the Disney Treasure!

First off, the Disney Treasure will replace the Disney Fantasy in Port Canaveral for seven-night itineraries . The maiden voyage will embark on December 21, 2024 , followed by an inaugural season of Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises . Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members can book a Disney Treasure cruise as early as September 12, 2023, with all bookings opening on September 20, 2023.

As for the ship, adventure is the name of the game. Disney stories often see their characters on adventures and sometimes as guests, we’re thrust into our own. Voyager Minnie will be our guide for the journey updating the look of Captain Minnie. Voyager Minnie’s costume is brand new for the Disney Treasure and you’ll see her artwork on the bow of the ship.

Let’s get to the big changes. Say goodbye to Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure from the Disney Wish and say hello to Plaza de Coco . The new Coco -inspired restaurant will be joining Worlds of Marvel and 1923 in the rotational dining lineup and will feature two unique nights of dining experiences. The first night continues the story of Miguel and his familia as they gather in Mariachi Plaza to take guests on a colorful, music-filled journey that celebrates family memories and togetherness. Miguel and his great-great-grandparents, Hector and Mama Imelda, will reunite on the second night in Santa Cecilia for a Dia de los Muertos celebration with the help of Miguel’s magic guitar. The restaurant will feature modern twists on traditional Mexican fare. Disney had no comment when asked if Dante would be part of the show.

Jungle Cruise fans – your new Disney lounge awaits you on the Disney Treasure. The Skipper Society will be situated where The Bayou is on the Disney Wish just off the Grand Hall and will bring the Jungle Cruise to the sea for the first time. The space will be covered in a canopy of jungle foliage and include. themed cocktails, light snacks, and live entertainment. References to the Jungle Cruise will be placed throughout the space like a monkey-shaped chandelier, postcards, and luggage tags brought back from travels.

If you thought a Jungle Cruise lounge was the pinnacle of excitement, wait for the Periscope Pub . This is a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea -inspired bar situated where Keg & Compass is on the Disney Wish. The submarine-style interiors will have steampunk influences and industrial touches while celebrating the movie and the Walt Disney World attraction. The giant squid will be featured on the carpet while the ceiling will be a mysterious window into the depths of the uncharted oceans.

Continuing with the Disney Parks theme, the funnel tower suite on the Disney Treasure will be the Tomorrow Tower Suite . The suite is inspired by EPCOT with dynamic art pieces, molten metal accents, and futuristic, colorful glass accents evoking World Discovery. The nearly 2,000 square foot space will sleep eight guests with room for eating, sleeping, and playing, plus a full kitchen and private ensuite elevator.

Just like the funnel suite, all of the staterooms onboard the Disney Treasure will be updated to fit the adventure theme. The 1,256 staterooms onboard, mostly verandahs, will feature custom artwork and design elements that evoke the exploratory spirit of Disney and Pixar films including Aladdin, Pocahontas, Up, Encanto, The Lion King, and Luca.

The concierge suites will be themed to The Lion King and the four royal suites – the Bagheera Royal Suites and the Raja Royal Suites – will pay tribute to the two cat companions from The Jungle Book and Aladdin .

High up on the ship, you’ll find the AquaMouse – Disney Cruise Line’s attraction at sea. There are currently two exciting experiences you can have on the AquaMouse, but the Disney Treasure will see the addition of Curse of the Golden Egg . This new show follows Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse on a zany misadventure into an ancient temple for a glimpse of the legendary treasure within. Curse of the Golden Egg will also make its way to the Disney Wish.

The central hub for daytime activities and adult-exclusive evening entertainment onboard the Disney Treasure will be Sarabi . This space is inspired by The Lion King named after the lioness matriarch will evoke the natural beauty and openness of the savanna. This is the Luna space onboard the Disney Wish.

Zootopia is getting representation on the high seas with Jumbeaux’s Sweets . This is an extra-charge ice cream and sweetshop reminiscent of the popular ice cream parlor, Jumbeaux Cafe, from the movie. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde statues will have a home in the space featuring Victorian-style architecture and playful pink interiors. There will be more than 20 flavors of handmade gelato, 16 flavors of ice cream and sorbets, specialty treats, candies, and more. This space is Inside Out: Joyful Sweets on the Disney Wish.

Finally, just off the Grand Hall, you’ll find two walk-up cafes serving a selection of coffee, tea, specialty beverages, and snacks. The HeiHei Cafe is inspired by Moana and named after her trusty sidekick and will echo the scalloped seashells and reflective blue waters of the Southern Pacific Isle of Motunui with furniture stylings that pay homage to a traditional construction technique used by the Polynesian people to craft seafaring vessels. The Jade Cricket Cafe is inspired by Mulan and her family’s lucky cricket, Cri-Kee, who will be represented by a jade sculpture on the bar along with striking blue walls and metallic counters reminiscent of Mulan’s armor, plus the central moon gate and plum blossom flowers adorning the walls. These cafes are the Wishing Star and Enchanted Sword Cafes on the Disney Wish.

That’s everything that’s new for the Disney Treasure, so let’s talk about what’s been announced already and what’s returning. First off, the Grand Hall is inspired by Aladdin and will include a beautiful statue as well as a chandelier that will come to life in two different ways. Peter Pan and Captain Hook will be the stern characters.

As previously mentioned, Worlds of Marvel and 1923 will be back, but Worlds of Marvel will be receiving a second show due to the seven-night itineraries. 1923 will swap out artwork and focus on props from Disney’s more adventurous movies. The Rose, Palo Steakhouse, and Enchante by Chef Arnaud Lallament will be available for adults. Marceline Market will be the onboard buffet even though the adventure theme is minimal. The Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods will round out the dining onboard with five themed food stalls serving barbecue, Mexican, grilled items, pizza, and more.

The Walt Disney Theater will be on the ship like all the others with “Disney Seas the Adventure” and “Beauty and the Beast” confirmed as two of the three shows (the third will be revealed at a later time). The Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party with music and fireworks will happen as part of Pirate Night. Guests may want to pamper themselves before a fun night out at Untangled Salon or Hook’s Barbery. Don’t sleep on the craft cocktails from Hook’s Barbery – the best part of the Disney Wish.

Disney’s Oceaneer Club, Edge, Vibe, and It’s a Small World Nursery will be complete replicas from the Disney Wish. That means Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck, Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, Fairytale Hall, Star Wars: Cargo Bay, and Marvel Super Hero Academy will all be found in the Oceaneer Club. The only difference from the Disney Wish is you’ll take a Jungle Book -themed slide down into the club versus Alice in Wonderland . Hero Zone and the Wonderland and Never Land Cinemas will be on the Disney Treasure just like they are on the Disney Wish.

The seven pools on the upper deck will be themed to Mickey and friends like the Disney Wish on tiered decks. The Toy Story-themed family zone will be included from the Disney Wish with a splash zone, wading pool, family waterslide, and smoothie bar. Adults will want to hang out in the Quiet Cove with an infinity pool and poolside bar just like the Disney Wish along with the Cove Cafe. Moana is the Cove Cafe theme for the Disney Wish, but it hasn’t been revealed if it will be the same on the Disney Treasure. Senses Spa will remain an escape for those looking to relax as only one can on a Disney Cruise Line spa.

Unless we’re forgetting something, that’s everything you need to know about the Disney Treasure… for now. Disney sent a map to media prior to the Disney Treasure reveal and there are items on the map that haven’t been touched upon. Olaf from Frozen , Carl’s House from Up , a tea kettle from Alice in Wonderland , and an X-Wing stick out as not yet discussed.

Olaf steered many towards thinking Arendelle would return, but it’s not. The X-Wing did the same for Hyperspace Lounge, but Disney confirmed during a media preview the only Star Wars presence on the ship would be in the Oceaneer Club. Plus, the box that the map was sent in included a Haunted Mansion reference which was left off the map completely.

Disney isn’t ready yet to reveal it all and that’s okay. With the ship not setting sail for over a year, it’s nice to have some mystery left to be revealed. Plus, it’s just the second of the three sister ships with the next one coming in 2025. The Disney Treasure sets sail on December 21, 2024, with bookings opening as early as September 12, 2023, with all bookings opening on September 20, 2023. New details on the Disney Treasure and Lighthouse Point may revealed at Destination D23 !

When is the Disney Treasure maiden voyage?

Disney Treasure’s maiden voyage has not been set but is expected to take place in 2024.

No announcements have been made regarding where or when the Disney Treasure will first set sail.

Once the ship has gone through more construction and gets closer to completion, I’m sure we’ll get more news.

Disney Treasure will be the newest vessel in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. It joins its sister ships, Disney Fantasy , Disney Dream , Disney Magic , Disney Wonder and Disney Wish as the sixth Disney cruise ship. In 2016, Disney announced it would be building two new ships and then, one year later, one MORE ship was announced, bringing the planned total of new cruise ships to three. The Disney Treasure is the second of those three new ocean vessels .

While the exact date of completion for the Disney Treasure has not been announced, the expected timeline is for the ship to be sea-worthy sometime in 2024.

What will the Disney Treasure look like?

The Disney Treasure name and motif were announced at D23 in September 2022.

Here is the first look at the Disney Treasure:

The interior of the atrium has been revealed through artist renderings to feature Aladdin, Jasmine, and Magic Carpet.

The atrium looks similar to the layout of the Disney Wish , with different “adventure” theming.

What Disney characters is featured in the atrium of the Disney Treasure?

A statue of Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, and the Magic Carpet will be featured in the Grand Hall (atrium) of the Disney Treasure.

How big is the new Disney Treasure cruise ship?

Disney Treasure is expected to mirror the size of the Disney Wish, which is just slightly larger than the Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream.

• Expected Staterooms: 1,240
• Tonnage: 144,000

Where will the Disney Treasure cruise ship sail?

The Disney Treasure home port and expected ports of call have not been announced.

H ow many cabins will Disney Treasure have?

The Disney Treasure is planned to have 1240 cabins.

What is the Disney Treasure Itinerary?

Disney Treasure isn’t expected to set sail until sometime in 2024. At this time, no sailing schedules or itineraries have been made public.

When Will I Be Able to Book a Cruise on the Disney Wish?

Disney Treasure cruises are not yet available to book. We don’t currently have any information about the opening Disney Treasure reservations or bookings.

Who will build the new Disney Treasure?

Disney Cruise Line contracted with reputable German shipbuilding company Meyer Werft to build the three newest ships, including the Disney Treasure and Disney Wish. Meyer Werft were also the builders of Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream .

How will the Disney Treasure fueled?

The Treasure is expected to be fueled by liquefied natural gas, like the Disney Wish.

DCL has stated that LNG “is one of the cleanest-burning fuels available,” making the Disney Wish a more efficient and eco-friendly method of providing cruise vacations.

By moving to natural gas propulsion instead of oil-based fuel, cruise ships are able to reduce emissions of sulphur, nitrogen oxide and other chemicals.

How many staterooms will the Disney Treasure have?

Disney Treasure will likely be similar in size to the Disney Wish, which has 1254 guest staterooms.

A “lucky” coin was placed underneath the keel of the ship as part of maritime tradition to bring good fortune and safe travels for the ship and its passengers.

Worlds of Marvel

Main Dining

Rotational Dining:  The Disney Cruise Line method for making sure each guest experiences each themed dining environment onboard. Every evening you dine with the same tablemates and have the same servers as you "rotate" to one of the three main restaurants: Plaza De Coco, Worlds of Marvel and 1923. You will be given your schedule when you board, so you'll know exactly when you'll enjoy the unique atmosphere of each restaurant.

Plaza De Coco:  Be transported to the colorful plaza of Santa Cecilia during this multi-night, Coco-themed theatrical dining experience featuring the flavors of Mexico. On your first night, watch as Miguel and the town mariachis entertain with lively song and dance. Then, on the second night, behold the plaza’s transformation to a fun-filled Dia de los Muertos celebration with Mamá Coco, Abuelita and the rest of the Rivera family.

Worlds of Marvel:  Suit up to save the day at Worlds of Marvel — a cinematic dining experience of epic proportions. Explore powerful quantum technology during “Avengers: Quantum Encounter,” featuring a special appearance by Spider-Man live and in-person. All the while indulge in a global menu inspired by the origins of your favorite Super Heroes, featuring a range of delicacies from classic American fare to rich African flavors.

1923:  Named after the year The Walt Disney Studios was founded, the elegant 1923 restaurant celebrates the imagination of classic animation and the unwavering spirit of the original studio that started it all. Feel like Hollywood royalty as you dine on fresh California cuisine amid storyboards, sketches and props from adventure-themed Disney movies like Tarzan, The Lion King, Aladdin and more.

Skipper Society

Specialty Dining

Cove Café:  Escape to this relaxing, adults-only poolside lounge inspired by the hit film Moana for gourmet coffee, tea, specialty beverages, pastries and treats.

Enchanté:  For innovative French cuisine, venture into Enchanté, boasting an innovative international menu crafted by 3-Michelin-starred Chef Arnaud Lallement.

Palo Steakhouse:  An elegant adults-only restaurant serving a range of premium steak specialties and exquisite Italian dishes.

Periscope Pub:  Periscope Pub is a “dive” deep under the sea in an adult-exclusive space inspired by Captain Nemo’s travels 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Skipper Society:  Relax and unwind at this exotic, adult-exclusive lounge that pays homage to the waterway adventures on the world-famous Disney Parks attraction, Jungle Cruise.

The Rose:  Recall a tale as old as time at this adult-exclusive lounge reminiscent of the enchanted castle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, where you can sip a cocktail surrounded by antique mirrors and floating rose petals while enjoying ocean views.

Jumbeaux’s Sweets

Casual Dining

Jade Cricket Café and Heihei Café:  Need a quick coffee, tea or snack on the go? Follow your heart to one of two specialty walkup cafes located just steps away from the excitement of the Grand Hall. From the central moon gate to the plum blossom flowers, hints of Mulan radiate throughout Jade Cricket Café, while Heihei Café takes a tropical cue from Moana’s isle of Motunui.

Jumbeaux’s Sweets:  Find the perfect treat at this larger-than-life ice cream parlor inspired by Kerry Jumbeaux Jr. from Zootopia. Bring and elephant sized appetite as you browse a selection of more than 31 flavors of handmade gelato and ice cream, plus specialty treats, candies, and more!

Marceline Market:  Discover a mix of mouthwatering specialties at Marceline Market, names for Walt Disney’s early childhood hometown in Missouri. Browse this eclectic marketplace for classic favorites, international specialties and plant-based offerings for breakfast and lunch.

Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods:  In the center of the excitement on the upper decks, you’ll find tasty offerings and fan-favorite treats from uniquely themed food stations, including Mickey’s Smokestack BBQ, Donald’s Cantina, Daisy’s Pizza Pies, Goof’s Grill and Minnie’s Delights.

Room Service:  Disney Cruise Line Room Service is available 24 hours a day for your convenience. Relax with a continental breakfast, grab a quick snack between meals or satisfy a late-night craving in the comfort of your room.

Disney Cruise Line fleet

Disney adventure, disney destiny, disney treasure, disney wish, disney fantasy, disney dream, disney wonder, disney magic, review of disney cruise line.

DCL-Disney Cruise Line (disneycruise.disney.go.com) is a passenger shipping company, subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. Incorporated in 1996 as Magical Cruise Company Ltd, the company is headquartered in London City (England UK), with operational headquarters in Celebration (Florida USA).

Currently, DCL owns and operates six ships ( Treasure , Wish , Fantasy , Dream , Wonder , Magic ), plus the private island Castaway Cay Bahamas (exclusive port for Disney-owned vessels).

Actually, Disney Cruise Line (DCL) was created in 1995 when The Walt Disney Company commissioned the liners Magic (1998) and Wonder (1999) from Fincantieri Italy . With the newbuilds DCL ended the ship charter arrangement with Premier Cruise Line (1983-founded/2000- defunct ). In the 1980s, Disney contracted Premier Cruises to provide passenger shipping services, with voyages leaving roundtrip from Florida ( Port Canaveral/Orlando City ). Back then, Disney's travel packages were marketed as "family cruise vacations" and featured costumed Disney Characters. The fleet project (building two new liners by Meyer Werft Papenburg Germany ) was announced in 2007. Disney Dream was introduced in 2011, Disney Fantasy - in 2012, Disney Wish - in 2022.

DCL's current President is Jeff Vahle.

In July 2022, DCL increased the recommended onboard gratuities (by US$1 per day per passenger) to US$14.50 pp (most staterooms) and US$15,50 pp (concierge suites).

In July 2023, DCL increased the cost of dining at the ships' optional adults-only restaurants (Palo, Palo Steakhouse, Enchante, Remy). Specialty restaurants' charges are per person.

• (fleetwide) Palo now costs $50 for both brunch and dinner.
• (ship Wish) Palo Steakhouse costs $50.
• (ships Fantasy and Dream) Remy costs $80, dinner costs $135, dessert costs $65.
• (ship Wish) Enchante costs $80 for brunch, $65 for dessert, Passion costs $125, Collection costs $195.
• Tasting seminars' charge pp (including Mixology Class) was raised in April from $25 to $45 pp.

DisneyBand+

In 2022, on Disney Wish ship DCL introduced the "DisneyBand+" - a water-resistant wristband similar to Walt Disney World's MagicBand+. In 2023, the device was implemented fleetwide.

Before the voyage, passengers can utilize the technology for a smoother embarkation. Upon arrival at the cruise port, they can use the band for check-in (by scanning the device) which expedites the ship boarding process.

Once on the ship, the DisneyBand+ serves as a stateroom key, eliminating DCL's old key cards.

The device can be also used for paying for food and beverages (at dining venues) as well as merchandise (at the onboard shops) which eliminates the need for credit cards. On Castaway Cay, just like on the ship, the DisneyBand+ can be used for shopping or purchasing drinks.

DisneyBand+ is sold in several designs and 50+ different styles. Prices start at US$35 (solid colors), while themed bands cost US$45 (plus tax). To ensure timely delivery, DCL recommends purchasing the wristbands at least 45 days prior to the voyage's departure date.

Customers who already have MagicBand+ (from Walt Disney World) can use it as a substitute for the DisneyBand+.

New ships 2022-2031 (DISNEY TRITON-Class)

In October 2022, the German broadcaster NDR aired an interview with Christoph Morgen (GHK's MV Werften's insolvency administrator) stating that the unfinished (~75% completed) 9000-passenger liner Global Dream/Disney Adventure (originally ordered by Genting Hong Kong for Dream Cruises ) could be acquired by DCL and delivered/inaugurated in 2024-Q4.

• Global Dream's construction was suspended in January 2022 when MV Werften filed for bankruptcy.
• While the possible purchase price was not mentioned, the previously stated shipbuilding cost was EUR 1,6 billion.
• DCL's purchase interest was not officially announced, but on October 4th, Reinhard Meyer (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Minister of Economics, Infrastructure, Tourism and Labor) mentioned "confidential negotiations" with a possible byer and that completing Global Dream will secure the employment of MV Werften Wismar 's ~950 former employees.
• Industry experts commented that with Global Dream Disney might enter the Asian market.
• On November 16, 2022, DCL officially confirmed Global Dream's acquisition.
•  The ship's new name (Disney Adventure) was revealed on September 9, 2023. Disney Adventure is planned to start revenue operations for DCL in 2025, with homeporting in Singapore and voyages in Southeast Asia (year-round deployment).

In early March 2016, DCL announced plans to build three new liners (the company's ever-largest) and signed a shipbuilding agreement with Meyer Werft Gmbh (Germany's largest shipbuilding company). The new vessels are slightly bigger than Fantasy and Dream .

Disney's three newbuilds were scheduled for deliveries in 2022 ( Wish ), 2024 ( Treasure ) and 2025 ( Destiny ).

DCL officially announced the plans to build 3 new vessels on July 15, 2017. When launched/operational, with them Walt Disney will nearly double its current fleet. The boats' builder is Meyer Werft ( Papenburg Shipyard ). The announcement was made by Bob Chapek (Walt Disney Parks and Resorts company's Chairman).

The new vessel's interior design, facilities and itineraries are still in development. What is known so far is that they will be LNG-powered (by liquefied natural gas) and from one series (same-designed), with GT-tonnage 144,000 tons (larger than the originally announced 135,000 GT) and max passenger capacity 2500 (1250 staterooms). This design is slightly larger than Disney's previous largest units (Dream-Fantasy). The first liner will be named Disney Wish (2022-Q2). The names for the second and third units are yet to be announced.

On the March 9th/2018-released exterior rendering was shown Disney's traditional black-white-red hull color scheme. New is the superstructure's golden flair. Between the funnels is the top-deck waterpark with slides. Balcony cabins are located midship, which provides larger accommodations for passengers.

DCL also revealed that the new liners will be all homeported in Florida - in Miami (Destiny) and Port Canaveral (Wish, Treasure).

On August 10, 2024, during D23 2024 (Horizons: Disney Experiences Showcase), Josh D’Amaro ( Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences & Products) announced that DCL's fleet will be expanded to 13 vessels. The 4 new ships (ordered from Meyer Werft Papenburg) will be larger/newly designed/modified and are planned for deliveries between 2027 and 2031 .

New Disney ship in Japan

On July 9, 2024, DCL-Disney signed an agreement with Oriental Land Co Ltd (OLC) for year-round Disney cruises in Japan. Oriental Land Company Ltd (aka Oriental Land/1960-founded, subsidiary of Keisei Electric Railway Company) owns and manages the Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu (Chiba Prefecture, Honshu Island).

Under the agreement, OLC will build and operate a Disney-branded cruise shipping business in Japan, planned to start in 2029-Q1.

The introduction of a Japan-based Disney ship will provide Japanese Disney fans with the unique opportunity to enjoy Disney-themed voyages, featuring signature entertainment, dining, and services, the whole year round.

Constructed by Meyer Werft Papenburg, the vessel will be similar/sistership to Disney Wish, with volume ~140,000 GT-tons, LNG-powered, with ~1250 passenger staterooms.

"Adventures by Disney" cruises to Antarctica

For 2021, DCL planned to introduce its first cruises to Antarctica and for 2023 its first Galapagos voyages, all via chartered ships. Both "expedition ship travel" options are offered by DCL's tour subsidiary "Adventures by Disney", and are Disney's ever-first expedition voyages.

Disney's Antarctica program is via a ship charter deal with the French premium travel brand Ponant Cruises .

Eventually postponed to 2023 (due to the COVID crisis), DCL's Antarctic program offers sailings visiting the Antarctic Peninsula (12-day/11-night itineraries via Drake Passage ) and with an overnight in Buenos Aires Argentina before the charter flight to Ushuaia Argentina (homeport).

Fares for Disney's first Antarctic cruises (2023) started at USD 12800 (EUR 10740/GBP 9180) for adults and USD 11500 (EUR 9560/GBP 8247) for children, with double occupancy.

"Adventures by Disney" river cruises

In Europe, Adventures by Disney partnered with one of the world's largest river cruise companies - AmaWaterways - offering its loyal customers river cruisetour deals on voyage-chartered boats.

A "voyage charter" is when the vessel (and its crew) are hired for a specific voyage (departure date and custom itinerary). The charterer (Disney) pays the shipowner (AmaWaterways) on a lump-sum basis (single payment) while the shipowner is responsible for paying port taxes, fuel costs and crew costs. The cruise charter specifies a laytime (period) for loading and unloading the Disney-provided (exclusive) passengers.

On the chartered from AmaWaterways riverboat, Disney provides its passengers with all-inclusive deals (accommodation, meals, entertainment, shore excursions) including an immersive and pro-active onboard and ashore program curated by Disney's family travel experts. A team of Disney Adventure Guides includes English-speaking professional storytellers who review the visited destinations (port cities, towns, land tour sites and attractions).

For season 2021, the mainly family-themed "Adventures by Disney" were part of Disney's ever-largest river cruise program - a total of 30 departures/itineraries on Danube and also in France (Seine, Rhine, Rhone). Traditionally, select voyages were exclusively reserved for families without kids, being themed on Food and Wine and Oktoberfest (with German beer tastings). New in 2021 was Disney's Rhine River program that included Papenburg where was offered an exclusive tour to the MEYER WERFT shipyard where MS Disney Wish was under construction at the time.

For April 2025, Adventures by Disney scheduled the launch of two new routes in Holland and Belgium. Both voyages are 7-day-long, roundtrips from Amsterdam and feature visits to windmills, famous museums, canal cruising, and beer and food tastings.

Disney private island Castaway Cay (Bahamas)

Castaway Cay is a Bahamian private island leased by Disney Cruises. It serves as an exclusive port of call for Disney ships. Castaway Cay (formerly Gorda Cay) is located close to Great Abaco Island. In 1997, Walt Disney Company bought a 99-year island lease from the Bahamian Government (set to expire 2096), giving the company substantial control over the cruise ship passenger experience on the island.

In early August 2017 was announced that Disney is looking to buy a second Caribbean private island to be developed as an exclusive port of call for the company's new cruise ships. The reason for a new private island destination is that Castaway Cay has the capacity to handle ships with capacity up to 875 cabins, otherwise it becomes too crowded. Such a "private island" option emerged in 2016 with Egg Island (Bahamas). However, those plans were abolished after some environmental studies showing that the island's ecosystem would not sustain the planned development.

New Disney private island in the Bahamas (Eleuthera)

On October 19, 2018, The Bahamas officially issued a tentative preliminary approval of Disney Cruise Line's plan to build and exclusively operate a private cruise port ( Lighthouse Point ) on Eleuthera Island's southern tip. Project's developer will be the Walt Disney Company subsidiary Disney Parks and Resorts. The plan is for developing a land sized 746 acres (302 hectares / 3 km2) that Disney agreed to purchase. The new Disney ships-only port will have a dedicated pier (capacity 1 vessel), boat marina, shops, restaurants, passenger walkways through forests and around salt ponds.

Disney's new port project will create around 150 permanent local jobs plus various entrepreneurial opportunities for Bahamian residents. However, The Bahamas Parliament must officially agree to the plan once all terms and conditions are agreed and proper environmental testing is conducted.

In early-March 9, 2019, Bahamas allowed Walt Disney to acquire (purchase) the resort property Lighthouse Pointe (at Grand Lucayan, Freeport) from Meritage Hospitality Group Inc (US company / restaurant operator). The property will serve as Disney's new cruise port (land area 190 acres / 77 hectares / 0,77 km2) that also doubles as "entertainment facility" (during no-ship days). By this project, Disney will invest between USD 250-400 million to develop the property as Castaway Cay. As part of the deal, Disney agreed to donate property's southernmost point (land value USD 6,3 million) to the Bahamas Government for a national park.

Core elements of Disney's new Bahamas port project include low-density development, sustainable design, free public access, economic opportunities for Bahamians, overall workers ratio 80-20% (Bahamian-other workers) during project's construction phase, creating 150 permanent jobs (with health benefits) for Bahamians after project's completion. Construction will start after the Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Plan are reviewed and Gov approved.

Currently, on Eleuthera island is located the Carnival Corporation -owned (via ist subsidiary Princess Cruises ) private island resort Princess Cays .

The 4- and 5-night itineraries visit ports in The Bahamas (Castaway Cay, Nassau) and Western Caribbean (Cozumel Mexico, Grand Cayman).

In 2023 (February 18th thru April 10th) Disney Magic was homeported in NOLA/New Orleans Louisiana . The program was based on 4-5-6-day roundtrip Western Caribbean itineraries visiting Cozumel (4-day), Cozumel plus Costa Maya (5-day) and Cozumel plus Grand Cayman/George Town Harbour (6-day).

DCL cruise itineraries 2024-2025-2026

DCL has two year-round homeports in Florida USA (including its first full season out of Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale ) and also operates voyages leaving roundtrip from California, Louisiana, and Texas.

Disney Dream commences in early 2024 with sailings to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean. Passengers can choose from 3- and 4-night getaways to the Bahamas and 5-night vacations to the western Caribbean, featuring classic Disney experiences like Broadway-style shows, character encounters, fireworks at sea, and innovative dining. All sailings from Florida include a stop at Castaway Cay , a private island oasis reserved exclusively for DCL guests. Located in the Bahamas' turquoise waters, Castaway Cay offers the ultimate escape for everyone, with relaxation, adventure, and quality time with the whole family.

Disney Wish is kicking off 2024 with 3- and 4-night journeys to Nassau (Bahamas) and Castaway Cay departing from Port Canaveral (Orlando, Florida) , Disney's homeport located just 1 hour from Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. Voyages aboard Disney Wish combine numerous Disney firsts and enchanting entertainment, bringing to life Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars stories.

Also from Port Canaveral, Disney Fantasy continues 7-night sailings to the beaches of the eastern/western Caribbean. Disney guests on eastern Caribbean voyages visit Tortola BVI and St. Thomas , while western Caribbean itineraries feature the ports of Grand Cayman , Falmouth (Jamaica) , and Cozumel (Mexico) . Every Disney Fantasy sailing also features a stop at Castaway Cay, as well as several days at sea.

Disney Magic has 2 limited-time engagements in Galveston Texas early 2024. After ringing in the New Year , the ship is expected to embark on Caribbean adventures ranging from 4 to 6 nights through the end of January. Upon returning for a month-long stint in March-April, the Magic ship will sail voyages ranging from 4 to 7 nights to the western Caribbean during the spring break period. New Orleans (Port NOLA) welcomes Disney Magic back for a 2nd consecutive year in February 2024 with 4-, 5- and 7-night cruises to the Caribbean. Families have the opportunity to arrive early/extend their vacation to enjoy jazz & jambalaya in the city that inspired "The Princess and the Frog."

After her return from an inaugural season in Australia & New Zealand, Disney Wonder is due to arrive in San Diego California in March 2024 for 3- to 7-night cruises to Mexico, including Baja peninsula. Popular for its vibrant culture, saltwater adventures, and stunning beaches, families are able to visit some of the most prized destinations in Mexico, including Cabo San Lucas , Ensenada , Puerto Vallarta , and Mazatlan along with stops on the shores of Catalina Island (Dominicana) off the California coast.

In March 2023, DCL-Disney Cruise Line announced the inaugural dates/select itineraries for its brand-new island destination in The Bahamas, headlining a season full of new and passenger-favorite itineraries around the world in the summer of 2024. Along with the first voyages to Lighthouse Point , families are able to choose cruise vacations to bucket-list destinations including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, northern Europe, and Alaska.

In June 2024, Disney debuts its newest Bahamian destination on Eleuthera Island at Lighthouse Point. Passengers sailing aboard Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades, Florida) can discover a vibrant beach retreat infused with the energy of Bahamian artistry and a commitment to conservation.

A 7-night inaugural voyage aboard Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral (Orlando, Florida) on June 8th allows passengers to be among the first to see the crystal-clear waters of the new destination at Lighthouse Point. The ultimate Disney island destination itinerary features 2 stops at Lighthouse Point and a day at Castaway Cay . On June 6th, a 3-night preview voyage on Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale offers a sneak peek of Lighthouse Point.

After the inaugural voyage, Lighthouse Point is to be a featured port of call on select 3-, 4- and 5-night sailings to The Bahamas and the Caribbean on Disney Magic from Fort Lauderdale. The itineraries vary stops between Lighthouse Point/Castaway Cay, with 5 special departures including both Disney island destinations.

In the summer of 2024, Disney Dream returns to premier European destinations in the Greek Isles, British Isles, the Mediterranean, and popular locales in Iceland and the Norwegian Fjords.

The sailings feature a number of new ports of call (Valencia, Haugesund, and Hamburg), along with 3 Mediterranean destinations that return for the first time since 2014: Catania, Kusadasi, and Valletta.

Mediterranean and Greek Isles voyages from Barcelona (Spain) and Civitavecchia-Rome (Italy) range from 5 to 11 nights, while northern Europe and the British Isles cruises offer itineraries anywhere from 3 nights to one 12-night journey that includes the Norwegian fjords, 3 days in Iceland and an overnight in Reykjavik (Iceland) .

Cruises to Alaska from Vancouver BC Canada return on Disney Wonder from May through to September 2024, with 5-, 7- and 9-night sailings.

Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish are due to sail to islands throughout The Bahamas and Caribbean in the summer of 2024. All voyages on the Port Canaveral-based liners feature a visit to Castaway Cay.

Disney Wish features 3- and 4-night Bahamian vacations, while Disney Fantasy sails to popular ports in the eastern & western Caribbean on 7-night cruises. One 5-night Disney Fantasy cruise in July takes families to Nassau with 2 stops in Castaway Cay, while a 10-night southern Caribbean journey gives families another chance to visit Lighthouse Point with additional visits to Antigua, Castaway Cay, Dominica, St. Lucia, and Tortola.

Disney Adventure ship starts revenue operations for DCL in 2025, with homeporting in Singapore and voyages in Southeast Asia (year-round deployment).

In June 2024, DCL unveiled two exciting seasons of itineraries, covering voyages from fall 2025 to spring 2026.

The fleet, including  Disney Fantasy ,  Disney Wish ,  Disney Treasure , and  Disney Dream , is due to visit Disney Cruise Line's signature island destinations,  Disney Castaway Cay  and  Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point , ensuring voyages filled with quintessential Disney magic.

The itineraries feature tropical sailings from the Pacific Coast and Gulf of Mexico in late 2025 and early 2026. Additionally, the  Disney Wonder embarks on a 3rd season of voyages across Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific from October 2025 to February 2026.

As part of Disney Cruise Line's themed sailings, families can look forward to creating memories on beloved holiday cruises, including Halloween on the High Seas and  Very Merrytime sailings  in September, October, November, and December 2025.

Summer 2025 itineraries (Europe & Caribbean)

In its debut summer season in Europe, Disney Fantasy sets sail from Barcelona Spain and Civitavecchia-Rome Italy , from May to late July. Itineraries (ranging from 5 to 12 nights) explore picturesque Mediterranean ports, including a special 12-night voyage to the Greek Isles.

From late July to September, Disney Fantasy is homeported in the UK  (Southampton England)  visiting popular destinations in Spain, Norway, and the British Isles.

Disney Wonder's Alaskan program is based on roundtrips from Vancouver BC Canada , and scheduled for May through September. Passengers can marvel at Alaska's stunning natural beauty and explore destinations such as Juneau ,  Skagway , and  Ketchikan .

In summer 2025, four Disney ships operate from Florida, with three departing from  Port Canaveral  and one from  Fort Lauderdale .

Disney Treasure ship offers 7-night Caribbean itineraries to Castaway Cay ,  Tortola BVI ,  St Thomas USVI ,  Falmouth Jamaica ,  Grand Cayman , and  Cozumel .

Disney Magic ship from Port Canaveral offers 4- and 5-night sailings to The Bahamas and DCL's private islands.

Disney Dream ship from Fort Lauderdale offers 3- to 5-night voyages to  Nassau , Castaway Cay, and Cozumel.

Both Disney Magic and Disney Dream visit  Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point  (Disney's new Bahamian private resort,) in summer 2025. Some itineraries group both exclusive ports (Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay).

Disney Wish ship from Port Canaveral has scheduled 3- and 4-night roundtrips to Nassau and Castaway Cay, while the Disney Dream will operate from Fort Lauderdale on similar routes.

(animal cruelty) The Faroe Islands cruise boycott

In 2014, Disney was the first of all three (for now) cruise ship companies (followed in 2016 by AIDA and Hapag-Lloyd) that banned Faroe Islands (a Danish territory) as destination part of their North European itineraries.

The boycott is due to the island nation's traditional mass slaughter of pilot whales each year. The protected by Denmark gruesome practice of killing whales is called "Grindadrap Grind". Locals use motorboats to drive a pod of whales into a harbor. The defenseless animals are dragged to the shallow water and brutally slaughtered by locals armed with knives (16-19 cm / 6-8 inches long) while their families cheer them on. The killing party even rip out baby whales from their mothers.

The Faroe Islands have a population of ~50,000 and kill each year 1000+ pilot whales. You can see the cruise ship schedule of Torshavn - Faroe's most visited port. All cruise lines with scheduled visits to the Faroes are accused of supporting the brutal whaling practices. Whaling is still officially approved and carried out by the "civilized" countries Japan, Norway, and Iceland, killing over 2000 whales each year and trading in whale products.

Disney's response was to the "Faroese Pilot Whaling Act" by the local government, which continues to allow pilot whales to be culled or massacred. It also empowers local authorities to imprison (for up to 2 years) people found guilty of impeding these whaling activities - despite all the international condemnations.

Sea Shepherd and Greenpeace are among the largest organizations taking direct actions against the "Faroese Pilot Whaling Act". Most of the available online haunting images of slaughtered whales lying in a sea of blood are released by these organizations.

10 Forgotten Things You NEED For Your Cruise on the Disney Treasure Ship

Are you ready to go on an adventure with Disney Cruise Line?

The Disney Treasure , which is all about stories of adventure, will set sail on its maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024. The ship will bring a lot of NEW concepts to Disney Cruise Line, including a Haunted Mansion lounge, a Jungle Cruise-inspired bar, a steampunk 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea bar, and more! So if you’ve planned to take a cruise on the Treasure, we’re going to tell you about some things you should bring with you!

If you don’t have Amazon Prime, did you know you can sign up for a free trial? Click on the banner below!

Captain Hook and Peter Pan are on the stern of the Disney Treasure, meaning that you should consider getting this  Peter Pan Loungefly Mini Backpack that features artwork from the “You Can Fly” scene.

This bag features Peter and the Darling children flying around London’s Big Ben. The zipper has a Nana charm.

Buy on Amazon

Did you know that Aladdin and Jasmine on their magic carpet are the subjects of the main statue in the Disney Treasure’s atrium? They are! That’s why this Aladdin and Jasmine Lenticular Loungefly Mini Backpack is the perfect accessory for your cruise.

This bag features Jasmine front and center as she looks over the dreamy scene of her and Aladdin on their magical carpet ride.

The Worlds of Marvel dining experience on the Disney Treasure will take you on TWO Marvel-themed adventures during your cruise on the ship. Be ready with this  Classic Marvel Comics T-Shirt featuring some of Marvel’s most classic characters.

Pretty much all your faves are included on the shirt, and you’ll fit right in when dining at Worlds of Marvel.

One thing we’re really excited about with the Disney Treasure is that the rotational dining will feature the first-ever Coco  dining experience at sea. That’s why you’ll need to grab these gorgeous Coco Ears before you set sail.

These ears feature Miguel in his Dia de Los Muertos form, as well as a sugar skull, and guitar.

We’re also excited about Periscope Pub, the first bar dedicated to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea . But what will you wear? Well, we found a  20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Tee that will go with the theme of the bar PERFECTLY.

This shirt has the giant squid on it from the movie.

Welcome, Foolish Mortals, to the first Haunted Mansion Parlor. It’s going to be SO spooky and fun, but you need to make sure you’re ready. That’s why you should grab this  Haunted Mansion Clock Loungefly Mini Backpack .

This bag even glows in the dark, so if it’s dark in the lounge, you’ll stand out. It even has movable clock hands.

Who’s ready for the punniest time at the Skipper Society, the Disney Treasure’s Jungle Cruise-themed bar? We are! Especially since we’ll be wearing this  Skipper Shirt that makes us an honorary Jungle Cruise skipper (okay, not really, but we can pretend).

Just make sure you’ve been practicing your dad jokes and puns.

Let’s go back to Peter Pan. Who doesn’t love Tinker Bell? If you want to rep Tinker Bell and her adventures on the Disney Treasure, this  Tinker Bell Sequined Loungefly Mini Backpack   is just for you.

The bag even has a cute boy with fairy wings and Tink looking sweet on the front pocket. The back says, “All you need is a little faith, dust, and pixie dust.”

Are you ready to hop on the AquaMouse, Disney’s first attraction at sea? Your little ones will need the perfect swimsuit, and we love this Daisy Duck Long Sleeve Swimsuit with Rashguard .

This swimsuit features Daisy Duck, the sassiest duck around (save for maybe Donald).

Moana is getting all kinds of representation on the Treasure. The first  Moana stage show will be premiering on the Disney Treasure, but there will also be a cafe called Hei Hei Cafe. Yep, that silly rooster has his own cafe, so you’ll need this fun  Hei Hei Shirt .

If Hei Hei is your spirit animal (and he is ours), this shirt is all you need to celebrate him.

So be sure to grab these fun items before you hop on board the Disney Treasure.

Rehearsals Begin on “The Tale of Moana” Show Coming to the Disney Treasure

Rehearsals have begun on “The Tale of Moana,”  the spectacular show coming to the new Disney Treasure  cruise ship.

What’s Happening:

• “The Tale of Moana” is set to debut in the Walt Disney Theatre on the Disney Treasure this December.
• Rehearsals on this new, innovative production have begun, according to a post shared by Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences, on the Disney Parks Blog .
• D’Amaro was able to watch teams in rehearsal in Toronto, Canada and shared a photo with the cast.
• He mentioned that he is “proud of the attention that we’re putting on the story – as well as on the culture of the Pacific Islands.”
• More from D’Amaro’s visit can be seen in the Instagram video below.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Josh D’Amaro (@joshdamaro)

• Puppets, the likes of which have never been utilized on Disney Cruise Line , will be featured in the show, including a giant Te Kā puppet.
• A new song entitled “Warrior Face” will be performed as a duet between Maui and Moana.
• The spirit of Gramma Tala will narrate the show, with Tuvaluan, Tokelauan, and Samoan languages intertwined through the song and dance of the production.

Full Message from Josh D’Amaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences:

“After an amazing experience at D23 a few weeks ago, where we announced the addition of four new ships to our Disney Cruise Line fleet, I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada and visit the Disney Cruise Line and Disney Live Entertainment teams in rehearsal for the newest stage show, ‘Disney The Tale of Moana.’ 

This is the first theatrical adaptation of Moana, and I’m proud of the attention that we’re putting on the story – as well as on the culture of the Pacific Islands. This is a brand-new show that will debut on board the Disney Treasure, setting sail for the first time later this year. 

This rehearsal facility is impressive. With 52,000 square feet of space, including 19 studios, this facility has been the home to more than 150 casts prior to shows and other entertainment debuting on board our ships. 

Despite not having costumes, sets, makeup, props or lighting in the rehearsals yet, it’s easy to see that this new show is going to be incredible, and I can’t wait for you to see it.”

Oceanview vs Verandah Comparison: Navigating Your Perfect Cruise Stateroom

Choosing between an oceanview vs. verandah stateroom can be one of the most exciting – and sometimes daunting – decisions when planning your first time going on a Disney cruise or your tenth. As a seasoned cruiser who’s sailed with my wife and two kids on various lines, I’ve experienced the pros and cons of both room types. Let’s dive into the world of cruise accommodations and explore which option might be best for your next nautical adventure!

Understanding Cruise Ship Stateroom Categories

Before we compare oceanview and verandah staterooms, it’s essential to understand the main categories available on most cruise ships. These categories cater to different preferences and budgets:

• Inside Cabins: No windows and located within the ship’s interior. These are the most budget-friendly, offering a cozy, no-frills experience.
• Oceanview Cabins: Feature a window or porthole that allows natural light and a view of the sea. They’re priced higher than inside cabins, offering a comfortable middle ground for those wanting to experience the ocean without stepping outside.
• Balcony (Verandah) Cabins: Come with a private outdoor space equipped with seating. These are more expensive than oceanview cabins, ideal for those who enjoy spending time outdoors in privacy.
• Suites: The most luxurious option, suites are the largest cabins available, often featuring premium amenities and exclusive perks. These are often referred to as the “Concierge” level on Disney Cruise Line because they offer a higher level of service and convenience.

These four categories are standard across most major cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Carnival, and Disney Cruise Line, though specific names, features, and pricing may vary slightly.

Many consider oceanview and verandah staterooms among the best staterooms on a Disney cruise due to their perfect balance of comfort, views, and value. Let’s explore these options further!

Oceanview Staterooms: A Room with a View

A typical Oceanview Stateroom configuration on Disney Wonder | Image © Disney

Key Features:

• Window or porthole (non-opening)
• Natural light and sea views
• Generally less expensive than verandah rooms
• Typically located on lower and middle decks

Oceanview staterooms offer a glimpse of the outside world through a window or porthole. On Disney Cruise Line ships, these windows are often quite large, especially in the Deluxe Family Oceanview category. Some even feature a padded seating area in the window – perfect for curling up with a book while watching the waves.

Size and Layout

Oceanview rooms are typically similar in size to inside staterooms, though some lines offer larger “deluxe” or “family” oceanview options. Here’s a breakdown of oceanview stateroom sizes on Disney Cruise Line ships:

• Disney Magic/Wonder : 214 sq ft
• Disney Dream/Fantasy : 204 sq ft
• Disney Wish/Destiny/Treasure : 218 sq ft

These rooms usually feature a queen-size bed, a sitting area with a couch (often convertible for additional sleeping space), and a split bathroom design unique to Disney ships.

• Budget-conscious cruisers who want natural light
• Families who need more space than an inside room
• Cruisers prone to seasickness (seeing the horizon helps!)
• Those who don’t plan to spend much time in their room

Potential Drawbacks:

• No private outdoor space
• Limited fresh air (windows don’t open)
• Some may have obstructed views (always check before booking)

Verandah Staterooms: Your Private Outdoor Oasis

A typical stateroom verandah on a Disney cruise ship | Image © Disney

• Private balcony with seating
• Floor-to-ceiling glass doors
• Fresh air and ocean breezes
• More spacious feel
• Usually located on higher decks

Verandah staterooms (also called balcony cabins) are a step up from oceanview rooms, offering your own private outdoor space. This can be a game-changer, especially on scenic cruises or warm-weather itineraries.

A Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah onboard the Disney Wish

Verandah rooms are often slightly larger than oceanview staterooms, with the added bonus of outdoor space. On Disney ships, verandah staterooms range from about 246 to 299 square feet, including the balcony. The interior layout is similar to oceanview rooms, but with the addition of the balcony access.

• Cruisers who value private outdoor space
• Couples looking for romantic moments
• Families who want extra room to spread out
• Anyone cruising to scenic destinations (like Alaska or the Norwegian Fjords)
• Those who enjoy dining or relaxing on their balcony
• More expensive than oceanview rooms
• Balcony noise can sometimes be an issue
• Privacy concerns (though most cruise lines have measures to ensure privacy between balconies)

Comparing Across Cruise Lines

While Disney Cruise Line offers great options, it’s worth considering how they compare to other major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and others for your family.

Royal Caribbean

• Offers “Virtual Balconies” in some inside rooms with floor-to-ceiling HD screens displaying live outside views
• Unique interior-facing balcony rooms overlooking Central Park or the Promenade on Oasis-class ships
• “Infinite Verandah” on some newer ships, featuring a floor-to-ceiling window that opens halfway down
• See our Disney Cruise Line vs. Royal Caribbean page for a comparison

Norwegian Cruise Line

• “Studio” oceanview rooms designed for solo travelers on some ships
• “The Haven” – a ship-within-a-ship concept with premium oceanview and balcony suites
• Some ships feature “The Waterfront,” a promenade that brings the indoors out with oceanfront dining and bars
• Review our Disney Cruise Line vs. Norwegian article to compare

Carnival Cruise Line

• Some oceanview rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows
• Select ships offer “Havana” staterooms with special pool access
• “Cloud 9 Spa” staterooms (both oceanview and balcony) with special spa perks
• Read our Disney Cruise Line vs. Carnival Cruise Line comparison for more

MSC Cruises

• “Yacht Club” suites with exclusive lounge and pool access
• Some ships feature “Infinite Ocean View” cabins with a panoramic window that slides down to create a balcony-like experience

Factors to Consider When Choosing

When deciding between an oceanview and verandah stateroom, consider the following:

• Budget: Verandah rooms typically cost more. Is the extra expense worth it for your trip?
• Itinerary: Will you be cruising somewhere with stunning scenery? A verandah might be more valuable in Alaska than in the Caribbean.
• Length of cruise: For longer sailings, having private outdoor space can be a nice perk.
• Time in the room: If you plan to be out and about most of the time, a less expensive oceanview might suffice.
• Season and weather: A verandah is more enjoyable in warm climates.
• Ship activities: If the ship has a lot of outdoor spaces and activities, you might not need a private balcony.
• Personal preferences: Do you value privacy and quiet time? A verandah might be worth the splurge.

For a detailed analysis of the different cabin categories, please refer to our articles on Inside Stateroom vs. Oceanview Stateroom and Deluxe Stateroom vs. Deluxe Family Stateroom .

Our Family’s Experience

Our family has experienced both oceanview and verandah staterooms on various cruises. On our first three-night Disney cruise to the Bahamas, we opted for an oceanview stateroom to save money on shore excursions and other onboard experiences. The large porthole was perfect for our kids to watch sail away and provided plenty of natural light.

For our 7-night Alaska cruise, however, we splurged on a verandah room. It was absolutely worth it to step outside and take in the breathtaking glaciers and wildlife from the privacy of our own balcony. Plus, the extra space was a lifesaver with two energetic kids! That said, the verandah can be surprisingly windy, which isn’t ideal on a “glacier day” when it’s extra cold.

From our experience, when deciding between oceanview vs. verandah staterooms, we’ve found it helpful to consider factors like the itinerary, the length of the cruise, and how much time we plan to spend in our room.

On shorter trips where we’re busy with ship activities, an oceanview stateroom has been more than enough. But for longer voyages or scenic destinations, we’ve found that splurging on a verandah is well worth it for the extra space and private outdoor views.

For example, during themed Disney Cruises like “Halloween on the High Seas,” which our kids absolutely loved, there was so much to do that we barely spent time in our room!

The Bottom Line: Oceanview vs. Verandah

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to choosing between an oceanview and verandah stateroom. Both options have their merits, and the best choice depends on your budget, itinerary, and personal preferences.

If you’re still unsure, consider these final thoughts:

• Oceanview rooms are a great “middle ground” between inside and verandah staterooms.
• Verandah rooms offer more flexibility and can enhance your overall cruise experience.
• Remember to factor in any cruise line promotions—sometimes, you can snag a verandah for close to an oceanview price!
• Consider splitting the difference on longer cruises by booking a few nights in an oceanview and a few in a verandah.
• For more helpful hints, see our Best Disney Cruise Ship for Kids , How to Save on Disney Cruises , and the Best Time to Take Disney Cruises .

Remember, no matter which stateroom type you choose, you’re in for a magical experience. From enjoying the delicious Food on Disney Cruises to participating in exciting onboard activities, your cruise vacation will be filled with lasting memories.

Disney Cruise Line

No one will be surprised that entertainment juggernaut Disney offers an amazing family cruise experience.

Disney Cruise Line ships are known for meet-and-greets with Mickey Mouse and Disney princesses, interactive movie-themed dining experiences and enormous kids clubs and play areas.

What might surprise the uninitiated is how good the line is at taking care of the whole family, not just the Mouse-obsessed little ones.

Disney thinks of all the little things that can help parents have a stress-free trip with kids in tow. From split bathrooms (allowing one family member to take a bath while another uses the toilet) to waiters who will cut up your child's food, Disney Cruise Line takes the pressure off parents.

While other cruise lines limit water play to kids who are toilet trained and drop-off child care to ages 3 and up, Disney caters to all kids with onboard splash areas and nurseries.

It also offers adults-only pool decks and restaurants, a nightlife scene and couples spa treatments to revive exhausted parents who haven't had a date in months.

Teens might roll their eyes at the ever-present Mickeys, but Disney Cruise Line does not ignore its older kid guests. Tweens and teens get their own cool hangouts, Edge and Vibe, with video games, foosball and hip seating areas.

Additionally, first-run movies and Broadway-caliber musicals, waterslides, teen spa treatments and grab-and-go food options (and free room service) keep older kids busy and happy.

Disney Wish and soon-to-debut Disney Treasure feature sports areas for free play and competitions attractive to this age group.

Royal Caribbean

With some of the biggest ships at sea and an amusement park-like private island in the Bahamas, Royal Caribbean is one of the best cruise lines for active families.

Want to try surfing, sky diving, rock climbing, laser tag, go-karts or zip lining? Families don't have to leave the ship to get their adrenaline highs.

Even the sedentary pursuits are high-octane on Royal Caribbean. Broadway musicals, festive parades, water acrobatic performances and ice skating shows wow the crowds on sea days.

Expansive play spaces for kids include separate clubs for teens and tweens, plus drop-off nurseries for babies.

Parents can sneak off to the adults-only solarium or thermal suite while the kids live it up at cruise camp.

After a hard day of play, worn-out families can refuel at a variety of restaurants, including burger and milkshake mecca Johnny Rockets, Italian and Mexican eateries and an all-day buffet.

Family cabins and connecting staterooms give larger families their needed space. The Ultimate Family Suite on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, Spectrum of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas can sleep eight, but parents and kids alike might be tempted to stay up late playing air hockey, scrambling up the climbing wall, soaking in the private outdoor hot tub or watching the giant TV.

When Icon of the Seas debuts in 2024, the new megaship will offer an entire section of the ship devoted to family-friendly accommodations and an outdoor dining-and-play space targeted at parents with young children.

Carnival Cruise Line

Practicalities first: Carnival Cruise Line is an affordable and convenient cruise line for families who don't live the jet-set lifestyle. With home ports all around the U.S., Carnival puts its ships within driving distance of many Americans.

A variety of short-cruise destinations, affordable-yet-spacious inside cabins (they can sleep four) and lots of onboard attractions and restaurants included in the fares combine to make it one of the best-value cruise lines afloat.

Carnival doesn't dub its fleet the Fun Ships for nothing. The whole family will have a blast on board, whether you like getting down to live music, busting a gut at family-friendly comedy shows, getting soaked at an onboard water park or eating green eggs and ham with Dr. Seuss characters.

The cruise line also embraces simple pleasures like free-flowing soft-serve ice cream and pizza and a day spent lounging by the pool.

Families don't need to pull out their wallets to feed ravenous teens or sugar-fueled children. Guy Fieri burgers and barbecue, burritos for breakfast and lunch and Shaquille O'Neal's fried chicken are all included in your cruise fares. No one's going to make you dress up for dinner, either.

Carnival ships have plenty of cabins that can sleep four or five passengers, but its newest ships truly treat families right. Book a Family Harbor cabin or suite and get access to a family lounge stocked with all the essentials — snacks and coffee, games, Wi-Fi, movies and a concierge to make bookings so mom and dad can spend more time playing with the kids.

MSC Cruises

The underdog on our list, MSC Cruises might not be a household name yet, but any cruise line that has a partnership with Lego should be on every family's radar.

As the Mediterranean line grows its U.S.-based fleet, it is staying attuned to the needs of traveling families.

Case in point: Larger family groups don't have to cram into one cabin or be scattered across the ship. Instead, they can select from a variety of connecting cabins that can accommodate up to 10 people.

Families keen on rooming together can take advantage of frequent "kids sail free" fares and pay only the taxes and fees for children under 18 who are the third and fourth passengers in a cabin.

Speaking of kids clubs, MSC's ships offer play spaces for babies, kids, tweens and teens. Its ships not only offer a drop-off Baby Club with educational toys by Chicco but also a special baby laundry service to take care of that pile of dirty onesies.

Kids club activities go beyond arts and crafts and video games to include cooking events, sports competitions and hi-tech interactive games. Teens can sing karaoke, dance at the onboard disco and attend themed parties with their new friends.

Outside of the kids club, families can race in a Formula One simulator, experience virtual reality, get soaked in a water park or brave their fear of heights on a suspension bridge.

One of the line's newest ships, MSC Seascape, features Robotron, a three-seat robotic amusement ride that's a hit with thrill-seeking families.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line is all about giving cruisers options to create different versions of the perfect cruise vacation, all within the same ship.

The flexibility and choice make it one of the best cruise lines for families, especially those who need to satisfy diverse interests or get bored with the same activities day after day.

Kids clubs and adults-only sun decks allow for age-appropriate fun time apart, but Norwegian wants families to have fun together. Teaming up for laser tag, mastering a ropes course, singing along to a Broadway musical or live concert or screaming down a waterslide are guaranteed to create those unbreakable family bonds.

Norwegian's flexible dining system and a plethora of onboard eateries let families plan meals to suit their schedules and tastes.

Also, free kids meals at extra-charge restaurants mean parents can sample Brazilian, Japanese , French or seafood dishes while the littles gobble up pasta and chicken fingers. Casual all-day options suit fussy eaters who need unfussy dining areas.

The cruise line also gets a shoutout for its family-friendly Hawaii itineraries. The only big-ship cruise line that sails weeklong itineraries round trip from Honolulu, Norwegian provides an easy way for families to visit multiple islands.

Beach time, boat rides, water sports, luaus and volcano tours combine for an epic family trip, with the ship taking the stress out of meals and transportation.

Bottom line

Families can have a great time on any cruise line, hanging out by the pool, visiting exciting new destinations and simply spending time together. But if you're looking for a ship that really caters to kids and their adult companions, you'll want to book a vacation on one of these five best cruise lines for families.
