Disney Cruise
Line
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 identical 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.
Disney repeatedly has
said it plans to expand its fleet of ships but is
waiting for more favorable economic conditions,
primarily the currency
exchange rate, since
the shipyards it likely will use to construct a
third and fourth ship are located in Europe. Plans
for these ships are drawn up and have been approved;
however, they have not been put into effect yet.
Disney Cruise Line
offers three-, four- and seven-night cruises to
various destinations in the
Caribbean; a daytime
stop at Castaway Cay is included in all itineraries.
Cruises depart from Disney's Art Deco-themed
terminal in Port Canaveral, Florida. Some "land and
sea" packages include a stay at Walt Disney World
Resort as well as transportation to the pier 50
miles away.
