Disney Cruise Line has just announced brand-new entertainment coming to Very Merrytime cruises in 2023 and also has released 2024 fall itineraries for even more magical family vacations at sea.
Considering trading in some snowfall for white sand beaches? Disney Cruise Line offers the perfect tropical setting for getting away with the family over the holidays. Disney characters, dressed in jolly new attire, along with fun-filled activities for the whole family are beckoning you to catch the holiday spirit while sailing the high seas.
New Tree Lighting Ceremony
To kick off the festivities on the first night of all Very Merrytime sailings, you can gather around the three-deck tall tree in the ship’s atrium for an all-new tree lighting ceremony. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy will be on hand to encourage you to sing along to classic holiday tunes, followed by a countdown that will light up the tree and also introduce the special guest of honor for the cruise – Santa!
“Deck” the Halls at Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party
Another new experience on these specialty sailings is Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party. Families will be invited to the upper decks for a one-of-a-kind celebration at sea filled with tidings of good cheer. The high-energy deck party, thrown by Mickey and Minnie will feature favorite Disney friends celebrating friendship, love, and family.
Disney Cruise Line decks will be decked out with boughs of holly from bow-to-stern during Very Merrytime cruises. Along with beloved characters dressed in their holiday finest, guests will be immersed in the sights and sounds of the holidays. Carolers, commemorative merchandise, and festive food and beverage will come together to celebrate the wonder of the holidays.
With cruises from Florida and California, adults and children alike will discover the magic of the holidays at sea in 2023.
Disney Cruise Line will set sail from a new South Florida home in Fort Lauderdale, offering four- and five-night Very Merrytime cruises aboard the Disney Dream to tropical locales in the western Caribbean and Bahamas. Also from Florida, the Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy will continue sailing from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and the Caribbean. The Disney Magic will set sail to Baja and the Mexican Riviera from San Diego for holiday sailings before wrapping up the season in Galveston, Texas with Very Merrytime cruises to the western Caribbean.
