Disney has long been a leader in creating unforgettable experiences for guests of all ages. This holiday season, the company continues that legacy with Very Merrytime Cruises, a seasonal celebration that brings classic holiday magic to the open sea.
Very Merrytime Cruises transform Disney ships into a whimsical winter wonderland, blending festive décor and themed entertainment with Disney’s renowned hospitality, exceptional dining, and exciting ports of call. The result is a family-friendly holiday escape that appeals to kids and adults alike.
Onboard festivities include life-sized gingerbread displays, glittering lights, and a towering 24-foot Christmas tree that creates a festive centerpiece for the ship. Guests can enjoy holiday-specific events such as the Deck the Deck Tropical Holiday Party and Mickey’s Tree Lighting Magic Ceremony. Families can also meet Santa Claus, take part in Storytime with Mrs. Claus, enjoy Disney character greetings, and encounter daily surprises designed to create lasting memories.
Adults will find plenty to enjoy as well: curated holiday shopping, spacious and comfortable staterooms, unique port excursions, and world-class entertainment and amenities. Special New Year’s Eve sailings feature lavish celebrations complete with music, dancing, and festive dining for a memorable way to ring in the new year at sea.
Choosing a Disney Very Merrytime Cruise offers an opportunity to start a new family tradition—spending the holidays on board a ship that blends seasonal charm with Disney storytelling. These themed sailings are available fleet-wide on select dates in November and December. Because holiday cruises are popular and limited, early booking is recommended to secure preferred itineraries and staterooms.
Whether you’re seeking holiday magic for young children, a festive getaway for the whole family, or an elegant adult celebration, Very Merrytime Cruises deliver a polished, joyful holiday experience that combines Disney’s signature service with seasonal cheer.
