So you’re thinking of taking a Disney Cruise, but you’re still not sure? Well leave it to me! We’re counting down the top 6 reasons why you definitely should.
#6 You’ll find Family-Friendly Fun
Life is busy. Finding quality time to spend as a family can feel like an impossible task while keeping up with everything else you have going on in your daily life. Stepping away from the day to day can bring you closer to that bonding time you desire. A Disney cruise vacation offers a mix of activities that the whole family can enjoy together. Check out live shows, dance it up at a deck party, watch first-run movies, play games, share memorable meals, pack in the pool time, and soak up the sights in exotic locations. Plus, you can enjoy extra activities on Disney Cruise Lines themed sailings like Marvel Day at Sea and Very Merrytime Cruises. These feature themed celebrations, crafts, and other interactive family events.
Dreaming of lounging on a beach in the Bahamas? You won’t be able to wait to get to Disney Castaway Cay! This is Disney’s private island reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests. With three different beaches (including an adult-exclusive beach), shops, restaurants, gear rentals, and more, it’s easy to fill a day with family fun and relaxation.
#5 There are So Many Included Amenities
Think about your typical vacation. You’ve got hotel expenses, tickets to activities, plus meals and other entertainment. The cost can definitely add up. What’s so refreshing about a cruise is that there are so many offerings that are built in to the cost of your fare. On a Disney Cruise, you can expect full meals at breakfast lunch and dinner, live shows, recreational activities, plus your lodging all included in your rate. But that’s not all!
All of Disney Cruise Line’s ships feature at least 3 pool areas with waterslides. Kids and teens have access to top quality youth clubs. Adults can take a break at the adults-only spaces. Plus Broadway quality shows, themed deck parties, and photo ops with popular Disney Characters. Not to mention 24-hour room service is included! You could literally lay in bed watching TV the entire time while room service brings you all the meals and snacks you want. But then you’d miss out on all the other amazing things available on board!
#4 Get Peace of Mind with Hassle-Free Planning
Let’s face it: putting together an itinerary of vacation experiences that pleases everyone in your family can feel impossible sometimes. When you find that one vacation that one vacation that everyone can be excited about it’s like finding hidden treasure. Cruises offer so many things to do at sea and on land. And the best thing about them is that all the heavy lifting is done for you! Everything you need for an enjoyable vacation for everyone in your family is all in one place. Not only is the ship full of exciting things to do for guests of all ages but your cruise ship is basically a floating hotel. While you’re comfortably sleeping off the day’s excitement, you’re being magically transported to a new destination with excursions and adventures and tons of new things to see.
Want to customize your adventure? There’s an app for that! Everyone in your party with a smartphone can download the Disney Cruise Line Navigator App for free and use it to manage their own schedules. You’ll get to see all the on board activities that are available throughout the day, get reminders for dinner plans, and sign up for spa treatments and land excursions. Plus it comes with it’s own messaging system to stay in touch with each other when you don’t have cell service in the middle of the ocean.
#3 One Vacation, Many Destinations
When it comes to cruise itineraries, the choices are endless. You can get a taste of paradise with a short 3-4 night sailing to The Bahamas, or Mexico, or the Caribbean. Or you can go all-in with a week-long escape throughout Europe or Alaska. Either way, cruising is the most comfortable way for you to experience several locations without the stress of figuring out the logistics of getting to and from each destination. No waiting in airport terminals or crowded busses to get from one place to the other. Just relax and let your floating hotel take you to the next beautiful location.

#2 Cruisers of All Ages Can Find Ways to Unplug and Unwind On Their Own
Having so many different activities and things to do as a family is amazing! But it’s ok to want to have some time to yourselves as well! On board every Disney Cruise Line ship is a fun and exciting (and supervised!) place that’s just for kids to hang out and make friends and do some super fun kid stuff. Not only do they have amazing kids clubs, but they also have designated zones for tweens to hang out, and a separate place for teens to spend time as well. Each different space is specifically designed to make your kids want to hang out there. They may not want to leave!
And while the kids are at their designated hangout spots, parents can take advantage of the adults only areas. Enjoy massages at Senses Spa & Salon, chill by the adult’s only Quiet Cove Pool, or visit Serenity Bay – the adult’s only beach on Castaway Cay. (Yes, there’s supervised Kid’s Clubs at Castaway Cay too!) And coming in Summer 2024, Disney Cruise Line guests will be able to visit Disney’s second exclusive destination, Lighthouse Point!
#1 You’re Basically Getting the Ultimate Vacation!
A Disney Cruise can check all the right boxes when it comes to creating an unforgettable family vacation. Visiting different locations and cultures, endless entertainment, gourmet cuisine, and the VIP-style hospitality you’d expect from a Disney vacation. Plus, the chance to make all your friends jealous when they see photos of all the fun you’ve had in postcard-worthy settings. You’re getting an all inclusive style resort that gives you fresh and exciting things to do and see every day all mixed in with what you know and love about Disney vacations. You won’t want to miss the Pirate Night deck party with fireworks. The kids will love Disney’s Oceaneer Club. And top it off with unique Disney-themed dining experiences and memorable Character Experiences.
