A better cruise starts with the right questions.

A Disney Cruise Line vacation includes much more than your stateroom. Your cruise fare generally includes:

• Your stateroom
• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at included dining venues
• Rotational dining
• Select nonalcoholic beverages
• Snacks, quick-service food, and soft-serve ice cream
• Broadway-style entertainment and live shows
• Disney Character experiences
• Pools and select water attractions
• Youth clubs and activities for children, tweens, and teens
• Family activities and entertainment
• Deck parties and other onboard entertainment
• Twice-daily stateroom service
• Many onboard activities

Depending on the itinerary, your cruise may also include a visit to one of Disney's private destinations, such as Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Some experiences cost extra, including Port Adventures, spa services, alcoholic beverages, specialty dining, onboard photography, nursery care, and certain premium activities.

Disney Cruise Line is not completely all-inclusive, but many of the experiences families use throughout the day are included in the cruise fare, meaning you don't have to spend much more than the cruise fare to have an amazing vacation! Meals at included restaurants, many beverages, entertainment, character experiences, youth activities, pools, and numerous onboard activities are part of your cruise. Additional expenses may include alcoholic beverages, specialty dining, Port Adventures, spa services, photography, and nursery care. When we prepare your Disney cruise, we'll help you understand what is included and what you may want to budget for separately.

Disney Cruise Line currently sails eight ships: Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, Disney Destiny, and Disney Adventure, which sails from Singapore. A ninth ship, Disney Believe, is scheduled to debut in late 2027, and Disney Cruise Line plans to grow its fleet to 13 ships by 2031. We can help you compare the ships and find the right fit for your family.

Passport requirements depend on your itinerary and citizenship. Not every Disney Cruise Line sailing requires a passport, but Disney Cruise Line recommends traveling with a valid passport when possible. A passport can also be especially helpful if an emergency requires you to leave the ship from a foreign port and fly home. Always verify the current travel-document requirements for your specific itinerary before sailing, as requirements can change.

Every Disney Cruise Line ship has its own design, signature experiences, dining venues, entertainment, and onboard activities. When choosing a ship, it's worth looking beyond the ship's age or size and considering the experiences that matter most to your family. Our Disney Cruise Line Ships guide above compares the fleet by signature experiences and overall feel.

Disney Cruise Line offers age-specific experiences for children, tweens, and teens, along with activities the whole family can enjoy together. Youth spaces include Disney's Oceaneer Club and Lab for younger children, Edge for tweens, and Vibe for teens. A nursery is also available for younger children for an additional fee.

Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of experiences specifically for guests ages 18 and older, including adult-exclusive dining, lounges and nightclubs, fitness facilities, spa and salon services, and adult-only pool areas on most ships. The specific offerings vary by ship.

A Disney cruise and a Walt Disney World vacation can both deliver a distinctly Disney experience, but they are very different types of vacations. Walt Disney World is a land-based vacation centered around theme parks, resorts, dining, attractions, and exploring the Walt Disney World Resort. Disney Cruise Line combines your accommodations, dining, entertainment, and transportation between destinations into one vacation experience at sea. A Disney cruise can also be a wonderful choice for families who want a more relaxed vacation without planning every minute of every day. If you're deciding between a Disney cruise and Walt Disney World, we can help you compare the two based on your family's travel style.

Yes. Disney Cruise Line offers wheelchair-accessible staterooms and suites on all of its ships, with a variety of accessible stateroom categories available. Accessible stateroom features may include:

• Wider stateroom doors with a minimum 32-inch door width
• Ramped thresholds at the bathroom and, for applicable verandah staterooms, the verandah
• Roll-in showers with fold-down seats
• Grab bars in the bathroom and shower
• Adjustable-height showerheads
• Lowered towel bars and closet rods
• Accessible vanities and sinks
• Emergency alarm features that can be activated through Guest Services

Most public areas on Disney Cruise Line ships, including restaurants, theaters, and shops, are also wheelchair accessible. Because accessible staterooms are limited, guests who require one should request and reserve an accessible stateroom when booking. Disney Cruise Line also recommends contacting Special Services in advance to discuss specific accessibility needs and arrangements.
