Ships in the Fleet
Magic Class
Ships
The original Disney Cruise Line experience. Smaller, more intimate ships hosting around 2,000 guests, perfect for first-time sailors or anyone who loves a quieter, more personal atmosphere at sea.
Disney Magic
Classic Disney experience with an intimate atmosphere. She features rotating main dining rooms, including Lumiere’s, Rapunzel’s Royal Table, and Animator’s Palate, with Broadway shows including Tangled: The Musical and Twice Charmed. The ship that started it all and is still one of the most beloved in the fleet.
Disney Wonder
Timeless elegance with beloved character encounters. Wonder features Triton’s, Animator’s Palate, and Tiana’s Place for dining, with Frozen: A Musical Spectacular and The Golden Mickeys as headline shows. A warm, classic ship with some of the most cherished dining experiences at sea.
Dream Class
Ships
Classic Disney experience with an intimate atmosphere. She features rotating main dining rooms, including Lumiere’s, Rapunzel’s Royal Table, and Animator’s Palate, with Broadway shows including Tangled: The Musical and Twice Charmed. The ship that started it all and is still one of the most beloved in the fleet.
Disney Dream
Perfect hybrid of intimacy and grand amenities. Home to AquaDuck, the world’s first water coaster at sea, with main dining at Enchanted Garden, Animator’s Palate, and Royal Palace. Broadway shows include Beauty and the Beast and The Golden Mickeys.
Disney Fantasy
Spectacular entertainment and innovative dining. Fantasy sails mostly 7-night Caribbean itineraries and features Enchanted Garden, Animator’s Palate, and Royal Palace for dining, with Frozen: A Musical Spectacular and Disney’s Aladdin on stage. One of my most recommended ships for families wanting the full Disney Cruise Line experience.
Wish Class
Ships
Timeless elegance with beloved character encounters. Wonder features Triton’s, Animator’s Palate, and Tiana’s Place for dining, with Frozen: A Musical Spectacular and The Golden Mickeys as headline shows. A warm, classic ship with some of the most cherished dining experiences at sea.
Disney Wish
The first ship to feature a Disney attraction at sea, the AquaMouse. Wish also boasts the most stunning Grand Hall atrium in the fleet, with immersive dining including Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure, World of Marvel, and 1923. Broadway shows include The Little Mermaid and Disney’s Aladdin. The most talked-about ship is sailing right now.
Disney Treasure
Adventure-themed with immersive experiences. Every space on Treasure tells a story of exploration and discovery. Dining includes Plaza de Coco, Worlds of Marvel, and 1923, with Beauty and the Beast and Disney’s Tale of Moana on stage. Built for families who love adventure and want every corner of the ship to surprise them.
Disney Destiny
Explore the darker side of Disney with Villains and Heroes. Destiny is the newest addition to the Wish Class, and she is already one of the most anticipated ships in Disney Cruise Line history. Dining includes Pridelands: The Feast of the Lion King, Worlds of Marvel, and 1923, with Disney Hercules and Frozen: A Musical Spectacular as headline shows. If your family loves Disney’s iconic villains and heroes, this ship was made for you.

Discovery Call
Sailing Itineraries/Voyage
Lengths
3 Nights
Perfect for nervous first-time sailors or for combining with a Walt Disney World trip. Short enough to feel manageable and long enough to fall completely in love with cruising.
4 Nights
A great entry-level option that gives you real time to experience the ship, explore a port or two, and actually relax. A wonderful introduction to what Disney Cruise Line is all about.
5 Nights
The sweet spot. Long enough to truly unwind and experience everything the ship has to offer without being away for a full week. Most 5-night itineraries include a stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island, and that alone is worth the sailing.
7 Nights
My most recommended sailing length, especially for first-timers who want to see faraway ports and have real time to decompress between stops. Seven nights give you the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and Disney magic at sea.
10 Nights
Typically reserved for international voyages, repositioning sailings, or true bucket list adventures. These longer sailings visit destinations like Europe, the Panama Canal, and the South Pacific. If you have done the shorter itineraries and you are ready for something truly extraordinary, a 10-night sailing will completely change how you think about travel.
Destinations We
Sail To
Alaska
Sailing through Glacier Bay on a Disney ship is one of the most surreal and breathtaking experiences I have ever had. Alaska itineraries run in the summer months and combine jaw-dropping natural scenery with the warmth of Disney storytelling. Wildlife, glaciers, and Mickey waving from the deck. Truly unforgettable.
Bahamas
The Bahamas is where most Disney cruisers begin their journey and it is a perfect starting point. Short sailings from Port Canaveral make this an ideal add-on to a Walt Disney World trip. The crown jewel of every Bahamas sailing is a day at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island with pristine beaches, waterslides, a 5K race option, and a lunch buffet that people genuinely rave about.
Caribbean
Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries offer some of the most beautiful port destinations in the world. St. Thomas, Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and more, all wrapped in Disney magic every evening at sea. Perfect for families who want a mix of beach days, culture, and quality time together on the ship.
Europe
Sailing the Mediterranean or Northern Europe on a Disney ship is a bucket list experience. Barcelona, Rome, Santorini, and beyond, all while coming home each evening to Broadway shows, character experiences, and world-class dining. The most beautiful way I know to introduce children to international travel.
Hawaii
Island hopping in paradise
Special Activities & Experiences
Port Adventures
Disney’s guided shore excursions are available at every port of call, operated by trusted partners and designed for every age and interest level. From snorkeling in the Bahamas to dog sledding in Alaska, I help you choose the right adventures for your family and make sure you are booked well before sailing day.
Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure
Interactive dinner show (Disney Wish)
Premium Spa Treatments
Senses Spa and Salon offers a full menu of treatments, including massages, facials, and salon services. A day at sea is the perfect time to book something special for yourself, and I always remind my clients to look at spa reservations early, as the most popular time slots fill up quickly.
Character Meet & Greets
The character experiences on Disney Cruise Line are unlike anything you will find in a theme park. These are intimate, unhurried moments with beloved Disney characters in beautifully themed settings. Your kids will remember them for the rest of their lives.
Adult-Exclusive Dining
Palo, Palo Steakhouse, Remy, and Enchante (depending on the ship) offer sophisticated, adults-only dining experiences that rival some of the finest restaurants I have visited anywhere in the world. If you are celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, or simply want a quiet evening for two, I always lock these reservations in well in advance.
Adventures by Disney Quick Escapes
Short guided trips available at select ports that include VIP access, insider experiences, and expert guides. These are perfect for guests who want to go deeper into a destination than a standard port adventure allows.

Meet
Rachel
I live with my husband and daughter in Northeast Ohio. I am an Independent Contractor with the travel agency, Small World BIG FUN, a small woman-owned boutique agency. We are classified by Disney as a “Platinum Earmarked Agency”, which is one of the highest regarded agency statuses that can be earned with the Walt Disney Travel Company.
I take a lot of pride in being high touch, hands-on, and being incredibly up to date on the current offerings, processes, and available experiences for all the destinations I book. I have personally visited Disney Destinations—including Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line—more than 150 times. Realistically, I’m in a Disney Destination every 4-6 weeks. Universal Studios has become a passion of mine as well over the last few years, as my family has gotten older. I truly know these destinations inside and out. I have been fortunate enough to stay in all the Disney Parks’ deluxe on-property resorts and have sailed every ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet. I know how to translate my wealth of knowledge into a vacation perfectly designed for your family. Chances are, if you have a question about a VIP experience, hotel, restaurant, or attraction, I’ve done it.
When I’m not working or traveling, you’ll find me in my garage powerlifting or in my kitchen cooking and baking. I’m a busy mom who values “casual luxury”, loves a good dad joke, and could eat a steak for every meal. I can’t wait to meet you!!
A few kind
words
Thanks so much, Rachel! I work in travel too, and regularly correspond with a lot of travel advisors. It’s clear that you are very good at what you do and authentic with your enthusiasm. We’re grateful for your assistance and appreciate all your help with our trips. By that, I mean I’m grateful that you make it so easy for M and R, since I’m just kind of along for the ride

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Disney cruise cost per person?
Disney cruises are a premium experience, and the price reflects that. Most people spend somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000 per person for a short 3 to 4-night Bahamas cruise. If you’re dreaming of a longer voyage or a more exotic destination, budget closer to $5,000 or more per person. The good news? Working with a travel specialist like Rachel means we’re choosing the most optimal itinerary and accommodations to maximize your experience!
What is ducking on a cruise?
Ducking is one of the most adorable traditions on Disney Cruise Line. Guests hide small rubber ducks around the ship for other passengers to discover. Kids absolutely love it. Many families even bring custom ducks and little trading cards to swap with people they meet on board. It’s one of those little surprises that make a Disney cruise feel unlike anything else at sea.
What not to bring on a Disney cruise?
Good question, and worth knowing before you start packing! Disney Cruise Line does not allow irons or steamers, candles, incense, or personal coolers bigger than a small carry-on. You can bring one bottle of wine or champagne per adult at embarkation, but anything beyond that is a no-go. Some food items may also be restricted depending on which ports you’re visiting. When you book with Rachel, she’ll send you a full packing guide so you show up stress-free and ready to have fun.
What does "wife on board" mean on a cruise ship?
It’s a fun little piece of cruise culture! “WOB” stands for Wife on Board, and it’s a lighthearted signal some passengers use, usually a flag or a sign, to humorously let others know their spouse is along for the trip. It’s just an inside joke among cruising regulars. On a Disney ship, though, you’ll be too busy with character meet and greets and finding hidden Mickeys to worry about nautical slang!
What is the one word you can't say on a cruise ship?
The word is “fire.” Even if you’re joking, saying fire out loud on a cruise ship can set off emergency protocols and cause serious panic among passengers and crew. It’s taken very seriously on every vessel, and Disney ships are no exception. If you ever have a real concern on board, the right move is always to find a crew member directly. Disney’s safety training is thorough, and you’ll feel reassured from the very first day.
What should I know before my first Disney cruise?
The biggest thing to know is that this is a Disney experience completely different from the parks. There is some “pre-work” to be done, but overall, it’s a much more go-with-the-flow experience once you’re on board. Things like specialty dining, spa appointments, and shore excursions open up anywhere from 130 to 75 days before your sail date, and they fill up fast. The best way to make sure none of the details get through the cracks? Let Rachel handle the planning so all you have to think about is which deck to explore first!
