Overview
end of story
Disney Cruise Line offers guests a
cruising experience as fun and exciting
as a Disney theme park resort vacation.
From the hearts and minds of Disney's
dreammakers come the most imaginative
vessels afloat -- the 83,000-ton,
2,400-guest Disney Magic and her sister
ship, the Disney Wonder.
Though family-oriented in design, these
ships cater to adults just as much as
they amuse kids. The first cruise line
owned and operated by the legendary Walt
Disney Company, Disney Cruise Line
created two innovative ships with
facilities and amenities specifically
designed to appeal to the unique
vacation needs of adults, families,
teens, and children alike.
Adult-Only Activities
While the kids are playing, adults can
enjoy a wide range of onboard amenities,
activities, and areas reserved
exclusively for them. Disney Cruise Line
offers dancing, cocktails, live music,
comedy shows, and many more popular
entertainment options sought by adult
cruisers.
Areas reserved exclusively for adults
include the Quiet Cove pool and the
Vista Spa and Salon, featuring
state-of-the-art equipment and a full
range of spa treatments. An adults-only
mile-long beach -- aptly named Serenity
Bay -- is located on Disney's private
island, Castaway Cay.
An entertainment center is available on
both ships: Beat Street on the Disney
Magic, and Route 66 on the Disney
Wonder. WaveBands, onboard the Disney
Wonder, is the perfect place to dance to
live pop music spanning from the 1950s
through the 1990s. The Disney Wonder's
rockin' dueling piano club, Barrel of
Laughs, allows guests to pick their
favorite tunes and join in the
sing-along and ivory-tickling antics.
Disney Magic's jazz club, Sessions,
offers adults a comfortable,
sophisticated, and romantic setting. In
addition to Disney Cruise's three main
restaurants, both ships feature the
adults-only Palo, an elegant and
romantic dining alternative featuring
Northern Italian cuisine. Reservations
are required.
Children's Programs
A variety of age-specific programs are
available for children, including
Mouseketeer Training at Disney's
Oceaneer Club (ages 3 and 4), Gases in
Action at Disney's Oceaneer Lab (ages 5
to 7), Regatta Races (ages 8 and 9), and
Science Sorcery (ages 10 to 12).
Scuttle's Cove on Castaway Cay is
dedicated to children's activities.
Parents can relax on the beach all day
while the kids enjoy nonstop supervised
fun.
Teens
To accommodate the growing number of
teen cruisers, Disney offers guests a
private getaway exclusively for guests
between the ages of 13 and 17. Common
Grounds, located on Disney Wonder, and
The Stack, located on Disney Magic,
provide teens with a place to hang out,
dance, and meet peers from around the
globe. Both locations feature computers,
magazines, a large-screen TV,
music-listening stations, and board
games in a casual setting. At Castaway
Cay, young guests can find challenges
and adventure on The Wild Side, a unique
excursion that takes teens on an
island-wide trek.
Castaway Cay
Every Disney cruise includes a special
visit to Disney's very own private
island. The 1,000-acre Castaway Cay,
featuring white-sand beaches and
activities for every member of the
family, is located in the Bahamas and
exists exclusively for the use of Disney
Cruise Line guests. The ship docks right
at the island, allowing guests to walk
directly ashore.
Separate beaches are available for
teens, families, and kids. Secluded
Serenity Bay is reserved exclusively for
adults. A wide range of fun-filled
activities is available to guests both
young and old, including swimming,
snorkeling, sailing, and sea kayaking.
Bicycle rentals, snorkel equipment
rentals, parasailing, and banana boat
rides are also offered.
Dress Code

recommended dress code at the Disney
theme parks. During the summer months,
shorts, slacks, sundresses, and jeans
