Accommodation

Disney Cruise Line staterooms are designed for comfort, convenience, and a touch of Disney magic. They’re spacious compared to standard cruise cabins, with plenty of storage and Disney’s split-bathroom design, making it easier for families to get ready.

Oceanview and Verandah staterooms offer portholes or private balconies, while Concierge-level rooms come with priority boarding, exclusive lounges, and premium amenities. On Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, Concierge guests can stay in the castle-like Tower Suite, one of the most luxurious spaces at sea.

Even Inside Staterooms get a magical twist—on select ships, virtual portholes stream real-time ocean views with surprise Disney character appearances. Meanwhile, Disney Adventure (launching in 2025) will introduce even more family-friendly accommodations on Disney’s largest ship yet.

No matter where you stay, every stateroom is built to make your time onboard comfortable, easy, and full of Disney charm.

Cruise Line Packages

Disney Cruise Line has a few add-ons and packages to make your trip easier, whether you want to combine your cruise with a Disney theme park visit, upgrade your onboard experience, or celebrate a special occasion. While Disney doesn’t bundle everything into traditional “all-inclusive” packages, these options help customize your cruise to fit your plans.

Land & Sea Packages

Want to mix your Disney cruise with some theme park time? The Land & Sea package lets you combine a Disney Cruise with a stay at Walt Disney World Resort, including park tickets and hotel accommodations. It’s a solid option if you’re already flying to Florida and want to get the most out of your trip.

Themed Cruises

Disney Cruise Line runs a few specialty sailings throughout the year, adding unique entertainment and character experiences to your voyage. Some of the most popular include:

• Marvel Day at Sea – Superhero meet-and-greets, stunt shows, and Marvel-themed events.
• Star Wars Day at Sea – Jedi training, character encounters, and epic deck celebrations.
• Halloween on the High Seas – Spooky decor, character costumes, and Halloween-themed parties.
• Very Merrytime Cruises – Festive decorations, holiday-themed shows, and a visit from Santa.

Special Occasion Packages

Got a birthday, anniversary, or honeymoon? Disney offers special occasion packages that include things like stateroom decorations, custom cakes, and celebration gifts delivered to your room. It’s not a full event-planning service, but it’s a nice way to add a little extra magic.

Pre- and Post-Cruise Hotel Stays

If you’re flying in for your cruise, Disney makes it easy by offering pre- and post-cruise hotel stays in select cities. This helps take the stress out of travel, especially if you want to arrive early and avoid last-minute flight delays.

Adventures by Disney Add-Ons

If you want to turn your cruise into a full-on guided adventure, you can book an Adventures by Disney package. This adds exclusive shore excursions, VIP access to attractions, and behind-the-scenes experiences before, during, or after your cruise.

Onboard Extras (At an Additional Cost)

Disney Cruise Line doesn’t offer “drink packages” like some other lines, but you can purchase extras like:

• Wi-Fi packages (priced by data usage).
• Beverage packages for bottled water, beer, or wine.
• Rainforest Room passes at Senses Spa (for thermal suite access).

Disney doesn’t do one-size-fits-all bundles, but if you want to personalize your trip, these add-ons can help create the experience you’re looking for. For the latest pricing and availability, check Disney Cruise Line’s website or a travel agent.

Dining Experiences

Disney Cruise Line is famous for its innovative rotational dining scheme and a wide array of culinary offerings. Here’s a look at the dining experiences available:

Rotational Dining

This unique system allows guests to “rotate” through three main dining hubs throughout the cruise. In addition, each dining venue has a distinct theme and menu, and guests keep the same dedicated serving team each night for a personalised experience.

Casual Dining

Buffet restaurants feature a good selection of cuisines for breakfast and lunch, while quick-service venues serve classic favourites like burgers, pizza, and ice cream. Room Service is available 24/7, with most items complimentary.

Adults-Only Dining

Each Disney ship features at least one adults-only restaurant:

• Palo (Magic, Wonder, Dream, Fantasy) – Serving Italian cuisine.
• Palo Steakhouse (Wish, Treasure) – A steakhouse-inspired version of Palo with Italian influences.
• Remy (Dream, Fantasy) – A French fine dining experience.
• Enchanté by Chef Arnaud Lallement (Wish, Treasure) – A luxury dining venue inspired by Beauty and the Beast.

Character Dining

Select cruises offer character breakfast experiences, where guests can meet Disney characters while enjoying their meals. Some dining venues also feature live entertainment and themed shows:

• Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure (Wish) – A Frozen-themed dinner show with Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf.
• Plaza de Coco (Treasure) – A Coco-themed dining experience with Miguel and his family.

Cabins Experiences

Disney Cruise Line staterooms are built with comfort, convenience, and a little extra thought—because when you’re at sea for days, the last thing you want is a cramped space that feels like an afterthought. Rooms are bigger than the industry standard, with smart storage, comfy beds, and Disney’s split-bathroom design, which means two people can get ready at once without stepping on each other’s toes.

Even the most basic Inside Staterooms come with a little Disney magic—on Disney Dream and Fantasy, that means a virtual porthole that shows a real-time ocean view (and the occasional visit from an animated character). If you prefer the real thing, Oceanview Staterooms come with a large porthole, and Verandah Staterooms give you your own private balcony to soak up the sea air.

For something a little more exclusive, Concierge-level staterooms and suites come with priority boarding, access to a private lounge, and a concierge team that handles reservations and special requests. On Disney Wish and Disney Treasure, that includes the Concierge Tower Suite—a two-story space designed to look like a castle, with panoramic ocean views and a private entrance.

Some ships take theming to the next level, with Disney Wish and Disney Treasure offering rooms inspired by Frozen, Moana, and Cinderella. And with Disney Adventure launching in 2025, expect an even fresher take on family-friendly accommodations on the fleet’s biggest ship yet. Whether you’re after a simple, cozy space or a high-end suite, every room is designed to make your time onboard just as enjoyable as the destinations you’re sailing to.
