The Best Disney Cruise Ships and Holiday Packages for 2026

From Mickey to Marvel-themed sailings, 2026 promises magical adventures at sea. Whether you’re a Disney fan, a Marvel enthusiast, or traveling with family, there’s a cruise that’s perfect for you.

Disney brings its signature magic from the parks to the ocean with seven incredible cruise ships, each offering unique experiences. Unlike crowded theme parks, Disney cruises allow for more relaxation—though the waterslides on some ships still guarantee fun for all ages.

Dining and Entertainment at Sea

Guests enjoy Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes for breakfast, but the culinary experiences go far beyond that. Disney’s “rotational dining” system lets passengers rotate between three main restaurants on the ship, getting to know both the staff and the menu options without repeating dietary requests. Themes vary across the fleet, featuring Coco, Frozen, The Lion King, and Marvel.
A standout is the Animator’s Palate, where guests draw pictures that come to life on the walls—becoming Disney animators before dessert is served.

Disney Cruises Around the World

Disney sails globally, including summer departures from the UK, and offers its own private Caribbean island, Castaway Cay. In 2026, Disney introduces two exciting ships: Disney Destiny (launched November 2025) and Disney Adventure, focused on the Asian market (March 2026).
