It seems hard to believe, but it has been 25 years since Disney Cruise Line launched its very first luxury liner — the Disney Magic. Since then, the Disney Cruise Line has added four more amazing ships to its fleet — the Disney Wonder, the Disney Dream, the Disney Fantasy, and most recently, the Disney Wish. Each cruise ship has its own unique Disney spin, and Guests can experience one-of-a-kind dining options, special theatrical shows, and even water rides like the AquaDuck and the AquaMouse — which is Disney’s first “attraction at sea”.
Disney is never one to pass up on a celebration, so, to celebrate 25 years at sea, all Disney cruise ships will be having “Silver Anniversary at Sea” offerings, which include special entertainment, food, merchandise, and more!
Disney Parks Blog shared more on what Guests onboard can expect:
- New Looks for Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie: Strike a pose with this iconic duo in their dazzling new ensembles. Their coordinated looks will feature swirling designs reminiscent of ocean waves and multi-toned fabric in the signature color of the celebration: Shimmering Seas.
- Brand-New Signature Song: Sing and dance along to a brand-new melody with the debut of a signature song created especially for the “Silver Anniversary at Sea.”
- Culinary Creations: Eat and drink your way through themed culinary delights, from fanciful desserts to inspired craft cocktails and beyond.
- Memories That Shimmer: Take a piece of the magic home with you with the new Shimmering Seas Collection, a special line of dedicated merchandise featuring our new signature color. Inspired by the magical glow of sunshine reflecting upon turquoise waters, the collection will include an assortment of apparel, accessories, drinkware, and more.
Disney Cruise Line’s “Silver Anniversary at Sea” will take place on sailings during the summer of 2023 — from May until September. There are a number of cruises to choose from:
- Departing from Miami May 24 to Sept. 4, the Disney Magic will visit destinations in the Bahamas and Caribbean, including Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.
- The Disney Wonder will depart on Alaskan voyages from Vancouver, Canada May 15 to Sept. 11 with stops in Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and more.
- From May 7 to Sept. 17, the Disney Dream will sail transatlantic and European itineraries, including the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Greek Isles.
- The Disney Fantasy will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida May 6 to Sept. 2 to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, each with a day at Castaway Cay.
- Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish, will depart on sailings to Nassau, Bahamas and Castaway Cay May 1 to Sept. 8 from Port Canaveral.
When Guests sail on a Disney Cruise, they automatically become a part of Disney’s Castaway Club — a rewards program. In celebration of DCL’s 25th Anniversary, Disney Cruise Line will be adding a new tier to its reward program — the Pearl tier. The Pearl Tier rewards Disney Cruise Line Guests who have been on 25 or more cruises.
