Top 10 Disney Cruise Destinations
The Disney Cruise Line has been praised for its amazing ships, on-board experiences and exciting excursions. It’s no surprise that the cruise ships themselves have plenty for you to do with waterslides, movies, character experiences and fine dining. However, the biggest decision is figuring out where your cruise will take you. From balmy beaches to historic castles, each place has its perks. Here are the 10 best Disney cruise destinations.
The Bahamas
For warm weather, lots of sun and gorgeous beaches— go to the Bahamas. This Disney cruise is the definition of a perfect vacation. The highlight of this trip is Castaway Cay, a private island owned by Disney. Castaway Cay has water play areas, snorkeling, beach sports, characters and open-air bars and BBQ spots.
Mediterranean
You don’t have to visit just tropical islands when you cruise— Disney can bring you to stunning Greek and Italian islands. Visit the ruins of Pompeii, colorful Santorini architecture, and Athens, the center of Ancient Greece. So grab some pizza, explore the coasts and enjoy your time in the Mediterranean.
Alaska
When you think cruise, you’re probably not thinking snow and ice. However, a trip to Alaska is something everyone needs to cross off their bucket list. Voyage through the icy Alaskan waters and stop at ports to pan for gold, ride on a dog sled and view wildlife like elk and humpback whales. Your family will feel like a group of explorers on this rugged adventure!
Hawaii
A trip to Hawaii includes lush jungles, giant waterfalls and gorgeous beaches. Be adventurous and explore the active volcanoes and rainforests. This Disney cruise gives you five days at sea, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy the musicals, characters and food onboard.
