• If there’s one thing Disney Cruise Line does well, it’s hospitality. The company has taken every lesson it’s learned from its parks and resort operations and implemented that into its five cruise ships, including the 4,000-passenger ships Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish, which launched in 2022. The ships are designed for families through and through—there are numerous themed activities every day, from meet-and-greets to full-blown parties with Disney characters—but there are plenty of adults-only areas that provide a respite from little ones. The fleet currently sails the Caribbean, Bermuda, and Bahamas (where they make port at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay), as well as Alaska, Canada, Europe, the Pacific Coast, and the Panama Canal. The newest ship in the fleet is Disney Treasure, which first set sail in December 2024, soon to be followed by Disney Destiny, debuting with a unique “heroes and villains” theme in November 2025.

• Built at the end of the 20th century, Disney Cruise Line's first two ships, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder have been delighting families for more than two decades. But despite being part of the Disney empire, the 2,400-passenger ships are not over-the-top when it comes to Disney decor. In fact, they’re quite elegant, taking design inspiration from early-20th-century ocean liners and sporting Art Deco and Art Nouveau aesthetics.
