Fun for Everyone
Overflowing with creative fun for the kids, unique recreational offerings for adults and thrilling entertainment for the entire family, a Disney cruise provides fun for one and all.
For the Adults
While the kids are off having the time of their lives, adults can escape to the privacy of adults-only locales and experiences - from intimate dining at Palo to cocktails at Fathoms and live music at Keys!
For the Kids
Children will find something to love at kids' clubs hosted by trained counsellors - thanks to a near endless range of activities, games and surprises.
Storytelling sessions, interactive games and larger-than-life playgrounds inspire kids at Disney's Oceaneer Club. Video games, music and movies are available at Edge, a cool club for tweens. And inside Vibe, teens can socialize in a parents-free, loft-inspired venue where dancing is all the rage.
For Families
Families are invited to share in the magic UK together each day of their cruise.
If watery fun is your thing, splash it up and cool down at AquaLab - or ride the AquaDunk, an exciting drop-out waterslide located high atop the Forward Funnel.
Disney-themed family-friendly entertainment like trivia game shows and dance parties can be found in D Lounge. And while you're there, keep an eye out for some special appearances by Disney Characters, too.
Looking to relax with a Disney classic or the latest movie release? Catch a beloved Disney film or watch a new adventure from the comfort of the state-of-the-art Buena Vista Theatre.
Families can even stay fit while on holiday at the full-service fitness centre, home to weight machines, specialised classes and sweeping ocean views.
