A Frozen-Filled Day in Alaska
Alaska’s dramatic landscapes already feel straight out of a movie, and this summer, Disney Cruise Line enhances that natural beauty with a full day of Frozen-themed entertainment aboard select sailings on the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic.
At the heart of the experience is For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration, a live, music-filled event held on the upper deck. Hosted by the Royal Historians and featuring Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff, the show invites guests to sing along as the beloved story unfolds.
With lyrics displayed on-screen and Alaska’s breathtaking scenery as the backdrop, it becomes an interactive, high-energy experience that brings everyone into the story.
More Frozen Magic Throughout the Day
The sing-along is just the beginning. Select Alaska sailings feature a full lineup of Frozen-inspired activities, including:
Anna’s Frozen Fun Hunt – a family-friendly scavenger hunt across the ship
Oaken’s Maypole Swirl & Twirl – a lively dance celebration in the atrium
Frozen-themed dining – featuring Nordic-inspired dishes and movie-inspired favorites
Together, these experiences create an immersive day that blends storytelling, activities, and dining into one unforgettable theme.
Broadway Talent at Sea
For guests who love live performance, select sailings will feature the Broadway Stars Series.
Curated by Susan Egan and Adam J. Levy, this program brings accomplished performers from Broadway and the West End onboard. Guests can enjoy live performances as well as behind-the-scenes stories from the world of theater. Talent varies by sailing, making each voyage a little different.
