Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line builds its cruises around families: Broadway-style shows every night, Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars characters on board, and restaurants with a Disney theme. The line's own site lists nine ships, Adventure, Believe, Destiny, Dream, Fantasy, Magic, Treasure, Wish and Wonder.

Many sailings stop at the line's two Bahamas islands, Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Other trips go to the wider Caribbean and to Alaska. Staterooms are planned for families, with a bathroom split into a sink area and a bathing area on most ships.

Trips

• Bahamas cruises that stop at Castaway Cay or Disney Lookout Cay
• Caribbean cruises on the newer ships
• Alaska sailings
• Short getaways and longer family vacations, with Disney's own theme days on board

Who it suits

Families with children of any age, grandparents travelling with grandchildren, and Disney fans who want the characters, shows and themed dining on board.
