Disney Cruise Line® Overview

---

Disney's two floating theme parks are like no other ships in the industry. Mellow, even elegant interiors allow the line's impressive innovations in dining, entertainment, kids' facilities, and cabin design to take center stage. If you love Disney, you'll love these ships.

Currently Disney has two ships in their fleet, The Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. These ships are designed with an art-deco style reminiscent of the great luxury liners of the early 1900s. Both ships boast a handful of truly innovative, Disney-style features, including a rotating series of restaurants on every cruise, cabins designed for families, Disney-inspired entertainment, and the biggest kids' facilities at sea. It's innovations like these that set Disney's cruises far apart from it's peers.

Built by the Fincantieri shipyards in Italy, the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder represent Disney's first entry into the cruise business. The ships are identinical with the exception theming, decor & restaurants. Each liner can hold up to 2400 passengers in 877 staterooms.

The ship is home to more than 900 crew members representing more than 20 nations around the world. On board guests will find 4 themed restaurants, an adult entertainment district, a live Broadway style theatre venue, a movie theatre, 3 pools, a 9,000 square foot Spa center, more than 15,000 square feet of children's entertainment areas, 5,500 square feet of retail stores, and much more.

The staterooms on board the Disney Cruise Line vessels are approximately 25% larger than the industry standard, with more than 70% of the staterooms having either an ocean view porthole, or an open air verandah.

The Disney Cruise Line is great! It is like some of the most fun I have had in my life. They have everything worked out just right. I loved the excursions we took like on a submarine and swimming with stingrays. Plus the ship is the most beautiful ship on the seas. It isn't like one of those giant floating white boxes you see that they call cruise ships. You have great service and the same waiters serve you every night so you become great friends. We have had three awesome servers over the two times we have gone on the Disney Cruise Line Orlan, Roger, and Ever Lee and other great cast on the ship like Ike who cleaned our room. There are also tons of things to do you could never get bored. There are places for kids only, teens only, and adults only! These are only a few things off of a huge list of great things about DCL. It is the best!

Unbelievable...the most amazing trip we have ever been on. We did the 3 day cruise, and the weather was perfect. The dinners, were great, my wife and 2 daughter (4 and 7) loved everthing we ate. We especially loved the animators Palate...what an incredible atmosphere. The kids loved playing in the Oceaneers club...we couldn't get them out! The best moment came on Castaway Cay...what a stunning beach....the most unforgettable trip ever. The cruise will now become an annual event for our family!

Cruising with Mickey is my favorite! I can't think of any place I'd rather be! I've cruised with DCL four times and am looking forward to my 5th in September. I love every minute of my time on the cruise. The food is amazing, the service is top-notch. There are lots of great activities for everyone! If you want to visit spectacular places and have no worries along the way, this is your vacation. The excursions are well thought out too! I don't even have kids yet & I can already see the value of bringing kids on this cruise line. Parents can see their kids as much as they want to, or their kids can have a blast doing there own activites. I highly recommend this experience for families. Cruising has become more than a vacation to my family. Some of our voyages end-up being reunions! We've cruised with numbers as large as 17. We will continue to cruise with DCL. There is no reason to go elsewhere! Thanks for all of the memories Disney! We love your ships!
