WHICH ROOM ON ICON OF THE SEAS IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Icon of the Seas features a whopping 28 different types of rooms that make the perfect homebase for everyone from big families to couples seeking endless sunsets.

On Icon of the Seas, every type of family and traveler—friends, couples and more—will find different thrills, ways to chill and bars and restaurants in order to create their ideal vacation. That even includes your home base—your room, where you can kick back and look forward to the next day of adventures.

There are 28 different types of rooms on Icon, including all-new categories like those with prime views of every sunset and those that have layouts designed just for families. Think: Spaces for adults and kids to hang out together or on their own, additional storage, TV streaming, controlling the lighting and temperature with your phone, convertible balconies that give you more flexibility to enjoy the space and views and more rooms for groups of three, four, five and more.

With choices spanning sizes, layouts, locations and views, you can have your pick based on your style and who you’re with.

Fun fact: Icon had the longest timeframe Royal Caribbean has ever dedicated to designing rooms—from research to design and construction, every detail was scrutinized to create more categories for families, more layouts with ocean views and more space for different-sized groups. Check out this video to learn about everything that went into creating Icon’s next-level accommodations.

Find the perfect place to hang back with your crew with this guide to the different staterooms on Icon:

The three-story Ultimate Family Townhouse is the most wow-worthy stateroom to date with an in-suite slide, cinema and karaoke space and a private outdoor whirlpool.

Ultimate Family Townhouse

This two-bedroom, three-level suite, which sleeps eight, is the most epic family hideaway yet. Everything about Royal Caribbean’s signature Ultimate Family Suite has been taken to the next level, with more room to stay and play. Kids and adults alike will love this imaginative new home away from home that’s debuting on Icon, thanks to made-for-family features and amenities like an in-suite slide; table tennis; areas to watch movies, sing karaoke and play video games; a second private wraparound balcony with a whirlpool and much more. The Townhouse also has its own mailbox and personal patio that boasts a private entrance to the Surfside neighborhood.

Pro tip: This suite comes with a Royal Genie, your very own expert who will make any of your vacation dreams a reality.

After a long day of fun, kids will love ending the night in their own alcove, complete with bunk beds and TVs.

Family Infinite Balcony

Do you want to spend quality time as a family and also find some “me time?” The beauty of a first-of-its-kind vacation like Icon is you can do just that every day across eight neighborhoods and even in a room like the Family Infinite Balcony, which is where families of up to six can truly have it all. This room’s spacious design includes a separate alcove for kids that’s decked out with TVs and bunk beds, as well as a split bathroom, with a shower and a sink on one side and a toilet and sink on the other, so that more people can get ready at once. And what’s more, an Infinite Balcony means even more space and flexibility as the push of a button will transform your outdoor oasis into extra living space.

Spacious Infinite Balcony Rooms have balconies that can become an indoor or outdoor space at the push of a button.

Spacious Infinite Balcony Rooms

Infinite Balconies are new to Royal Caribbean, and their claim to fame is their flexibility. You can maximize your space with a single push of a button, which will transform part of your interior living area into a breezy outdoor balcony. And if you’d rather cool off with the air from your AC, you can simply push the button again to close up the balcony and enjoy that extra room indoors. Another perk? You have more than one view to choose from. Pick from ocean views or Central Park views, where you’ll be able to overlook the open-air neighborhood filled with thousands of real plants, walking paths, restaurants and more.

Surfside Family Suites offer up a unique living room by day and a nook for the kids by night.

Surfside Family View Interiors, Balconies and Suites

Nestled in the one-of-a-kind Surfside, the first neighborhood designed for young families, are the exciting Surfside Family View interiors, balconies and suites. The whole family will love having their own neighborhood to explore, with thrills like Splashaway Bay and Baby Bay aqua parks for the little ones and Water’s Edge for adults and older kids. The rooms, which are perfect for a family of up to four, will have children of any age and their parents feeling comfortable as can be. The rooms and suites even have a separate space that transforms from a living room into a kids’ nook that’ll make nighttime play feel extra special. They also come with a split bathroom!

Fun fact: Surfside is where young families can stay and play all day. Everything is at your fingertips, from a beach-themed carousel to a fun-filled arcade. Guests of all ages will enjoy the many eateries—like The Lemon Post bar with menus for adults and kids—and activities like lively family festivals. 

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the Panoramic Ocean View rooms and suites bring the ocean waves right to your room.

Panoramic Ocean View Rooms and Suites 

Perched high up on Icon is the new AquaDome, a transformational neighborhood where you can catch both 220-degree ocean views and deck-defying shows at the next-level AquaTheater. Thanks to the hundreds of glass panels that make up the neighborhood, there are new rooms and suites you can call your home away from home that have equally jaw-dropping views.

Fun fact: Icon’s AquaDome offers plenty of nightlife activities, from trying out coffee-infused cocktails at Rye & Bean to watching aerial performers fly around the enormous, shapeshifting waterfall. 

Sunset Suites—which are available in several layouts—make the sunset the star of every day onboard.

The Sunset Suites

What says “vacation” more than enjoying a sunset over the ocean with a cocktail in hand? The new lineup of Sunset Suites on Icon makes, you guessed it, watching the sun go down from a prime spot an everyday thing. After a day of adventures, enjoy your front-row seat to nature’s most incredible show from the comfort of your bed, which faces the ocean or balcony—Sunset Corner Suites even have a wraparound balcony.

Pro tip: A Royal Suite Class accommodation like this one means that you get a bunch of perks, like a Royal Genie and priority access everywhere on board.

The Suite Sun Deck in the Suite Neighborhood has a plunge pool, bar and endless ocean views.

Of course, plenty of beloved favorites will make their return on Icon—and even better than before. The new Suite Neighborhood, for example, takes upscale even higher. Only for Suite guests, it features a two-story sun deck with a private pool and hot tub, as well as two exclusive restaurants—the casual Coastal Kitchen and the Mediterranean-inspired The Grove. Whatever your style and however you like to spend your vacations, there’s a room that’s right for you to start and end your days of adventures

If you’re looking for thrill or chill—or the perfect combination of the two—there’s an entire private island destination for you. Pick almost any Caribbean cruise, from weekend getaways to weeklong sailings, on ships like Wonder of the Seas and the highly anticipated Icon of the Seas, and you’ll find your way to Perfect Day at CocoCay.

At this slice of paradise in The Bahamas, discover everything from 13 high-speed waterslides—including the tallest one in North America—to a zip line, a helium balloon adventure and plenty of spots to kick back, like overwater cabanas and white sand beaches.

Daredevil’s Peak in Thrill Waterpark is the tallest waterslide in North America at 135 feet.

If you want to get your adrenaline pumping…

Take a moment to enjoy the views from the top—and pick out your next stop on the island—before plunging down the 764 feet of exciting twists and turns.

Take in the views from the highest vantage point in The Bahamas

Pro tip: Bring your camera to capture the stunning sights.

What to expect: Take your vacation to new heights by soaring up to 450 feet on the helium balloon adventure, Up, Up & Away.

Zigzag across the island on the zip line

Time it takes: 45 minutes

Pro tip: Make sure you have closed-toe shoes on, like sneakers or water shoes.

What to expect: Get a birds-eye view of the thrill and chill in every direction on the island by crisscrossing above it on the exhilarating 1,600-foot-long zip line course with three parts. Zip by both waterslide towers in Thrill Waterpark and the largest wave pool in the Caribbean, see your ship from a new perspective, go over the water at Harbor Beach and catch a glimpse of Oasis Lagoon and the miles of beaches below.

Coco Beach Club is home to the first overwater cabanas in The Bahamas, which include a private cabana attendant.

If you want to get in some R&R…

Grab a drink at the swim-up bar in Oasis Lagoon, the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean

What to expect: It’s five o’clock somewhere, so head over to the in-water loungers and swim-up bar in Oasis Lagoon, the Caribbean’s largest freshwater pool. Oasis Lagoon has different coves with unique vibes to explore, from the kid-friendly shallows where the whole family can play, to three swim-up islands with lively vibes and even private cabanas with attendant service that you can reserve for total relaxation. And if you need a snack to go with your drink, there’s a nearby Snack Shack that serves up complimentary burgers, hot dogs, salads and more.

Grab snorkels to discover schools of tropical fish, starfish and maybe even sea turtles, then you can recharge with sizzling bites at Chill Grill, which has several delicious complimentary dishes to choose from like barbecued chicken and Caribbean-style treats.

With fountains, geysers, slides and drench buckets, Splashaway Bay is loaded with fun for little ones.

If you want to show the kids a good time…

What to expect: The youngest visitors on Perfect Day at CocoCay will love Captain Jill’s Galleon and Splashaway Bay. Captain Jill’s Galleon is a shipwreck complete with a crow’s nest, as well as slides and water cannons galore, while Splashaway Bay aqua park beckons the smallest swashbucklers with fountains, pools, kid-friendly waterslides and two drench buckets.

Visit Splash Summit at Thrill Waterpark

Time it takes: It’s up to you.

Pro tip: Use your SeaPass card to come and go from the park as often as you like.

What to expect: With 13 waterslides, Thrill Waterpark has the most slides of any waterpark in the Caribbean—which means hours of fun for the kids and the young at heart. That includes the Splash Summit tower, which has six waterslides. It’s all about sharing the thrill with you family and friends. Zoom down the Twister, a winding tube slide, in a two-person raft or feel the rush as a crew of four on The Slingshot. Or, race each other on the four-lane Splash Speedway racers.

Tackle the largest wave pool in the Caribbean and more

Time it takes: It’s up to you.

Pro tip: Keep an eye on the kids from a lounger poolside.

What to expect: Thrill Waterpark has more than all those waterslides, believe it or not—it also has the largest wave pool in the Caribbean with up to 4.5-foot waves.

New Fireworks Show, Special Castaway Club Gift Announced for Disney Cruise Line’s ‘Silver Anniversary at Sea’

Have you heard the news? Disney Cruise Line is turning 25 this summer! From dazzling new entertainment offerings and family activities to inspired menu items and a themed merchandise collection, there is so much to look forward to on board all five ships from May through September of 2023.

With the official celebration beginning in just a few months, we’re excited to reveal more details about the brand-new magic you can experience during our “Silver Anniversary at Sea.”

Watch a New Fireworks Show Light Up the Night 

In 1998, Disney Cruise Line made history as the first cruise line ever to produce a fireworks show at sea! In the 25 years since, fireworks have remained a quintessential part of the Disney Cruise Line experience, inspiring core memories for generations of dreamers. 

Today, we are thrilled to share that the night sky will shine even brighter this summer as a shimmering new fireworks display premieres on select “Silver Anniversary at Sea” itineraries! 

Created in honor of Disney Cruise Line’s 25th anniversary, the limited-time evening extravaganza will uphold the cherished Disney tradition of fireworks and honor Disney’s continuing legacy of adventure. The dazzling spectacle will be set to the tunes of iconic and beloved Disney music, and anchoring the show will be a brand-new signature song created especially for the “Silver Anniversary at Sea.”  

The 25th anniversary fireworks show will be featured on most Bahamian, Caribbean and Mediterranean cruises this summer.

Say “Cheers” During a Shimmering Soiree

A captain’s reception is a well-known cruising tradition that has been enjoyed by Disney Cruise Line guests since the very beginning. In honor of our “Silver Anniversary at Sea,” we are reimagining this time-honored event into a one-of-a-kind celebratory experience, adding an extra dose of magic to sailings this summer. 

On one evening each cruise, guests will be invited to join their ship’s captain and cruise director in the atrium for an anniversary toast. The festive affair will feature appearances from Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse — dressed for the occasion in their shimmering new looks, of course! — and a delightful rendition of the “Silver Anniversary at Sea” theme song. 

Celebrate with A Limited-Edition Castaway Club Gift

If you’ve sailed with Disney Cruise Line before, you can be part of the best club on the high seas – the Castaway Club, which recognizes returning Disney Cruise Line guests with exclusive rewards and perks. 

We’re excited to announce that all Castaway Club members who sail during the “Silver Anniversary at Sea” this summer will receive a limited-edition framed art print in their stateroom to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime celebration until supplies last. As shown above, this design was created by Disney artist Joe Kaminski, whose work is featured in The Art of Disney galleries, Disney resort hotels and Disney Cruise Line ships. (One 11×14 framed print will be delivered per stateroom.)

Now is your chance to take part in a milestone celebration 25 years in the making!

Dazzling Details of ‘World of Color – ONE’ at Disney California Adventure Park, Debuting Jan. 27

As part of the Disney100 celebration at the Disneyland Resort, the new nighttime spectacular “World of Color – ONE” will debut at Disney California Adventure park on Jan. 27! With an inspiring message that illustrates the storytelling legacy Walt Disney began a century ago, this remarkable production by Disney Live Entertainment is just one of many new experiences and special offerings coming to the resort in honor of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th anniversary in 2023 – including the debut of another all-new nighttime spectacular, “Wondrous Journeys” at Disneyland park.

Today, I’m excited to tell you more about the powerful story in “World of Color – ONE” and share how you can experience the show when it debuts. First, here’s a sneak peek! 

“World of Color – ONE” celebrates how a single action, like a drop of water, creates a ripple that can grow into a wave of change. You’ll discover how it only takes one action to make an impact on the people in our lives and the world around us, just as one man – Walt Disney – started the wave that has continued to grow and inspire people around the globe for 100 years.

The spectacular features songs and stories of some of the most courageous, loving and inspiring characters who dared to be wavemakers and change the world. In fact, this is the first Disneyland Resort nighttime spectacular to feature characters, music and moments from Walt Disney Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, the Avengers, and Star Wars in the same production. Moments from favorite films such as “The Lion King,” “Moana,” “Coco,” “Mulan,” “Soul,” and others emerge on an immense water screen that can span up to 380 feet across.

This spectrum of stories is set to a beautiful musical score comprised of 18 different compositions, including a new, original song “Start a Wave,” which was written by GRAMMY®-nominated artist Cody Fry and features lead vocals performed by singer-songwriter and actress Loren Allred.

In addition to being a driving metaphor in the story of “World of Color – ONE,” water plays a starring role in transforming Paradise Bay during the show. Each musical moment is brought to life by mist screens and 1,200 dancing fountains, combined with brilliant lighting, projection, laser, fog and flame effects. And you can even wear your MagicBand+ to experience another dimension of storytelling to “World of Color – ONE”! Your band will enhance the effects with synchronized dancing lights and vibrations.

This immersive journey builds to an emotional and uplifting finale that highlights how, when we come together and combine our efforts, many drops can become an ocean. You’ll walk away feeling inspired to start a ripple of your own and be the one to make a wave for the future.

When “World of Color – ONE” debuts, you will be able to access viewing areas for the show through a virtual queue system available only via the Disneyland app.* Distribution for the complimentary virtual queue will begin at noon, daily (subject to availability), and is available for guests who have entered Disney California Adventure park for the day or have entered Disneyland park with a Park Hopper ticket.** On nights when there are multiple showtimes, distribution for additional showtimes will begin immediately after distribution for the first showtime has ended. If you have obtained a virtual queue selection, enter your designated viewing area for your designated show time via one of the two marked entrance points (Blue or Yellow) approximately 30-45 minutes before the show begins. How-to details on the virtual queue system are available at Disneyland.com. If the virtual queue reaches capacity, check in with a cast member at the Paradise Bay viewing area shortly before “World of Color – ONE” begins for walk-up viewing options. Joining the virtual queue is not required, but it is highly recommended as walk-up viewing options for each performance are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We can’t wait for you to see this larger-than-life spectacular!

National Geographic Expeditions Announces 2024 Signature Land Trips, River Cruises and Private Expeditions

Did you know that you can river cruise with the storytellers at National Geographic? 

Just imagine taking travel photos alongside an accomplished photographer and learning about the places visited from an author or geographer who has strong ties to National Geographic. That’s the level of knowledge you’ll find on a National Geographic Expeditions river cruise voyage. And today, I’m thrilled to share that you can experience all this and more in 2024, as we just announced new travel dates! 

In collaboration with AmaWaterways, three National Geographic Expeditions-chartered departures will offer an in-depth exploration through Europe’s historic waterways, all with the ease and leisure of luxury river cruising.

Announcing 2024 River Cruises

• Holland and Belgium in Springtime by River Cruise (April 15): This art, floral and architecture-focused departure sends travelers on a journey through the iconic waterways of Belgium and the Netherlands, with stops at the famous windmills of Kinderdijk, a Floralia flower show at a historic Belgian castle and the world’s largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh.

• Danube Christmas Markets River Cruise (Dec. 7): This sailing invites cruise passengers to explore charming Christmas markets from Budapest to Nuremberg. Travelers will also discover lesser-known holiday marketplaces within Vienna and Salzburg and visit Vienna’s Museum of Natural History. There, visitors will meet with National Geographic Explorer Ludovic Ferriere for a behind-the-scenes look at the meteorite exhibit he curated.

But in addition to announcing the full river cruise lineup, National Geographic Expeditions also launched the first wave of 2024 departure dates in its Signature Land category and announced its lineup for 2024 Private Expeditions.

Inside Look at What’s Coming to Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

A visit to Walt Disney World lets you leave reality behind and step into stories both familiar and new. And after a day of those exhilarating adventures, is there anything better than coming back to the fresh lobby scents, amenities and relaxation of your Disney Resort hotel? 

We’ve had a lot to celebrate across our more than 25 resort hotels during our 50th Anniversary celebration, and today we’re sharing an inside look at some big and exciting renovations that have been happening around our world. From new dining offerings, room remodels and expansions to refreshed lobby spaces, new furniture, smart technology and more … our Disney Resorts Collection has been rolling out constant, fresh updates ready to welcome you real soon.

Lately we’ve been spending a lot of time at Disney’s BoardWalk, which is evolving into something very special as this resort, sitting along the idyllic boardwalk, is being reinvigorated. This year has kicked off a series of refurbishments for the resort, with new furnishings and the start of delectable dining enhancements such as a new Northeast-inspired deli and a lobby café–Carousel Coffee—coming very soon for those craving a specialty latte and pastry.

Construction is also underway for The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, a whimsical table service restaurant and bakery expected to open in 2023.

You’ll soon be welcomed into the BoardWalk Resort with a lively lobby update, and newly refreshed guest rooms that complement the artful design throughout the resort.

This upcoming year is sure to be an exciting one for Disney’s BoardWalk!

2023 will also be a momentous year for Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa as it celebrates its 35th anniversary on July 1! The resort has been receiving some grand touches that weave familiar storybook charm into the Victorian elegance of this flagship resort. Guest rooms are currently being updated as we speak with more to come as the beloved Grand Floridian ushers in its third decade of magic. The ongoing renovation will also include an upcoming refurbishment of the lobby, which will maintain the classic theming you know and love with some fresh new enhancements.

The story doesn’t end there, as you can dine underneath the lovely London sky at Citricos, inspired by “Mary Poppins Returns” … and maybe bookend your evening with a shimmering sip at Enchanted Rose Lounge, inspired by “Beauty and the Beast.” And our beloved Victoria & Albert’s – the culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World Resort and AAA Five Diamond Award winner – reopened its doors this year to rave reviews featuring a renovated interior. 

As one of our original hotels, Disney’s Contemporary Resort also recently received thoughtful enhancements that truly tie together the best of retro-modern charm. Within the walls of its a-frame architecture, the lobby now features the flair of color stylist and designer Mary Blair through new murals that complement a lovingly curated collection of modern art and historical photography of the resort’s construction.  

Just as the sleek monorail system runs through this hotel, the retro boldness travels into refurbished guest rooms where you’ll find some super touches from Pixar Animation Studios’ “Incredibles” films – the first time our stories have been featured in this resort’s design! 

Similar updates have graced the shores of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, where we’ve spent special attention merging the heritage and charm of the South Seas with modern touches and even patterns and textures from the hit Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Moana” in guest rooms.

Nearly all elements of this resort have been refreshed in the past few years, from an open and inviting lobby, to dining locations, outdoor spaces and more!

Like many of our other resort hotels, all three of our cherished Disney’s All-Star Resorts—Movies, Music and Sports—are finishing up their refurbishments and welcome you with fresh new guest rooms and open inviting lobbies.

Plus, these resorts are just FUN with their larger-than-life icons, engaging pool areas and plenty of activities to enjoy!

And last but not least, how could we forget about these *fin-tastic* new designs of guest rooms in the Trinidad area of Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.

Of course, Disney Resort hotel guests also enjoy free onsite transportation – including our newest mode of transportation, the fan-favorite Disney Skyliner! – as well as our popular early theme park entry benefit (not to mention surprise pop-up appearances from beloved Disney pals). And don’t forget about Hey Disney!, our magical new voice assistant that will roll out in phases across Disney Resort hotels. 

This is just a small taste at what our resort teams have been up to over the past few years, and we have so much more in store for your next trip. Whether you dream of a campsite or treehouse nestled in nature, a bungalow or cabin along the water, our resorts are refreshed and ready to make your “sweet dreams” come true.

Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more updates on these projects and more!

Disney Eats: What’s Cooking at Disney’s BoardWalk

We've got some delicious and exciting updates coming to you from Disney’s BoardWalk that everyone's taste buds are going to love. This resort has seen multiple culinary updates already this year – most notably the opening of the can’t-miss BoardWalk Deli. Soon there will be even more tasty additions coming to Disney’s BoardWalk, and we've got a sneak peek for everyone.

Let’s kick things off with something we are very excited about – a new coffee shop will be opening soon – Carousel Coffee! This new location will be guests’ new go-to spot for their favorite coffee beverages, tea options, and some mouthwatering pastries to indulge in. This location will feature Artisan Roasted Joffrey’s Coffee in its yummy sips.

Breakfast with Woody and Friends!

In the coming weeks, guests can expect to see the full menu, but we’ve got a few items to share early. Carousel Coffee will be serving a Dark Cherry Mocha Frozen Blended Coffee and Whipped Cream. Cool down with the iconic cherry flavor known in seaside getaways like this and a staple of coffee shops, family-owned delis, and ice cream parlors along the shores.

There will be a seasonal rotation of coffees too! Guests will soon be able to enjoy the Cinnamon Bun Frozen Blended Coffee with Whipped Cream. This delicious frozen drink, dusted with cinnamon spice, lets guests take in the sweet smell that will make them reminisce about the days of old as they venture down the BoardWalk.

The Nitro Cold Brew Coffee is a freshly batched, extra smooth, dark-roasted cold brew coffee infused with nitro. This coffee beverage takes the rich history of coffee and combines it with the ever-popular nitro cold brews of today.

For those tea lovers out there, Carousel Coffee has options for you too. The Pomegranate-Green Tea Lemonade features fresh-squeezed lemon juice thoroughly blended with pomegranate green tea and a touch of agave. This drink is naturally sweetened and served over ice for a cool and refreshing sip.

Now, let’s explore some of the sweets coming to this new spot. The Crunchy Raspberry Danish is a must-try. This treat features crispy sugar dough layers with hibiscus fondant and raspberry. Think of a croissant and muffin combined! There are also plenty of classic treats, like the Vintage Mickey & Minnie Sugar Cookie, Banana Bread, Croissant, Blueberry Muffin, Chocolate Muffin, NJ Crumb Cake, and Bagels. And what Disney location would not be complete without a Mickey Brownie?

Another addition that sweet lovers are sure to be excited about is The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk. This new location recently began construction to bring the new spot to life and is slated to open in 2023. We recently shared a first look at what guests can expect The Cake Bake Shop to look like once it opens its doors on the BoardWalk – just look at how pretty it is. As guests walk past this spot, they'll be able to get a glimpse at some of the tasty dishes that lie ahead once it opens. This restaurant is owned by Gwendolyn Rogers, a self-taught baker with a love for Disney and obviously cakes!

Upon opening, this sweet spot will feature both savory and sweet items on its menu, and of course showcase the incredible cakes that Gwendolyn and her team have created, for brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Disney Cruise Line Returns to Tropical Destinations in Early 2024

In early 2024, Disney Cruise Line is going to be on island time! A variety of fan-favorite tropical locales are in store for guests and their family, including itineraries to the Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

With sailings from two home ports in the Sunshine State as well as voyages from Texas, Louisiana and California, guests can escape the winter blues with a magical vacation at sea from wherever they are in 2024.

Sun-Drenched Getaways from South Florida

The Disney Dream will begin early 2024 with an assortment of three- and four-night getaways to the Bahamas and five-night vacations to the western Caribbean, all of which will feature classic Disney Cruise Line experiences such as Broadway-style shows, innovative dining, character encounters and fireworks at sea.

All sailings from Florida will include a stop at Castaway Cay, a picturesque private island oasis reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests. Located in the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, Castaway Cay provides the ultimate escape with something for everyone in the family, including adventure, relaxation and quality time.

Tropical Vacations from Central Florida

The Disney Wish will kick off 2024 with three- and four-night voyages to Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, Disney Cruise Line’s home port located just one hour from Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. Cruises aboard the Disney Wish combine enchanting entertainment and numerous Disney Cruise Line firsts, bringing to life Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars stories around every corner of the vessel. 

Also from Port Canaveral, the Disney Fantasy will continue seven-night sailings to the white-sand beaches of the eastern and western Caribbean. Eastern Caribbean cruises will visit Tortola and St. Thomas, while western Caribbean itineraries will feature the ports of Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; and Falmouth, Jamaica. Every Disney Fantasy sailing also includes a stop at Castaway Cay, along with several days at sea, giving the family more time to enjoy all the fun and relaxation offered on board.

New Orleans will welcome the Disney Magic back for a second consecutive year in February 2024 with four-, five- and seven-night cruises to the Caribbean.
