In our opinion,  you should always book a Disney cruise with a third-party travel agency or site that provides a bonus or discount . The extra onboard credit or discount is effectively FREE money. The primary question is whether you prefer to handle your bookings directly ( self-service ), or work with a personal agent ( full-service ). They’re both good options and they both offer essentially similar savings: one via their own extra-discounted fares and the other via FREE onboard credit. 

Booking a Disney Cruise With a Self-Service Site

Our pick for self-service booking is Undercover Tourist . We’ve recommended them for more than a decade as a fantastic source for tickets, but they also have impressive deals on Disney cruises. Unlike other self-booking options like Expedia or Priceline, Undercover Tourist adds an additional discount over and above any special pricing Disney offers (like restricted guarantee , Military , or Florida resident rates)! We know of no other site that adds their own discounts to the baseline fare for Disney cruises. Occasionally one of the big online travel sites will do a limited-time small onboard credit or in-room gift, but Undercover Tourist offers extra discounts , on every Disney cruise, every day. Undercover Tourist further guarantees to MouseSavers readers that you will always get their lowest possible prices when booking through our links here and through our monthly newsletter and Hot Deals emails.

Keep in mind that this is a self-service option , for people who know exactly what cruise they want to take, what stateroom, how dining works, etc. If you like to handle your own bookings directly, Undercover Tourist is a great choice. If you would like to have a personal agent who can help guide you through the decision process and be available to answer questions, then the full-service approach will be a better fit.

Booking a Disney Cruise With a Full-Service Agent

The benefits of using a top travel agent are significant, both in convenience and price. First off, the best travel agents give you onboard credit, which is effectively FREE money, since the cruise fare isn’t any higher than if you booked through Disney. Furthermore, Disney Cruise Line has lots of confusing options involving tradeoffs that aren’t always clear. Using an experienced travel agent is like getting a FREE expert who knows everything about the Disney Cruise Line and is happy to walk you through the process and offer advice.

The travel agency we personally recommend here on MouseSavers.com, Small World Vacations , has some of the most experienced agents in the industry . The agents who handle cruise bookings for Small World have been on multiple Disney cruises, and know a truly astonishing amount about all four ships, the various Disney ports of call and all the common itineraries (and many uncommon ones). Many of them are Platinum members of Disney’s Castaway Club, meaning that they have personally been on 10 or more Disney cruises! They each have a direct phone number and email address they give out to their clients, so you can email them questions or requests any time.

Small World Vacations offers an onboard credit of up to $1,000 when you book a Disney Cruise with them. (Credit depends on your total cruise fare; the minimum fare to get credit is $1000.) Your onboard credit is good toward anything you can charge to your room, such as spa treatments, special dining, shore excursions or even your bar tab! Plus, this onboard credit offer is on top of any other discounts for which you may qualify (like restricted guarantee , Military , or Florida resident rates). And perhaps most importantly, the Small World Vacations agents know how to maximize value by making use of tricks like secret porthole rooms , secret verandah rooms , secret connecting rooms , and other clever strategies.

We pretty rarely encounter a deal that qualifies as a “no brainer,” but this is absolutely one, because it’s effectively FREE money . Small World Vacations’ fares are exactly the same as Disney’s; there are no other hidden markups or extra fees. The onboard credit is a bonus you won’t get booking with Disney.

Finally, if you’re going on a Disney cruise, be sure you take advantage of the onboard booking discount and list Small World Vacations as your preferred travel agent (or transfer the booking to Small World Vacations after your cruise is over), because it’s an essentially risk-free way to get significant discounts from Disney plus onboard credit from Small World Vacations in one fell swoop on a future cruise.

If you have any questions about onboard booking, email your questions directly to Small World Vacations at [email protected] before you leave on your cruise, and mention that you heard about onboard booking on MouseSavers.com. In our experience, the travel agents at Small World Vacations are great at finding the best fares. They know all the tricks that will save you money, and they know the Disney Cruise Line inside and out. We’re confident that once you work with a really great travel agent, you’ll never want to book a cruise any other way.

• Learn more about the Small World Vacations onboard credit offer and request a price quote for your Disney cruise .
• Small World Vacations gives you full service , including a personal travel agent you can contact by email or direct phone number, and we recommend them wholeheartedly ! Best of all, it costs you nothing to use them, PLUS they give you FREE onboard credit for any Disney Cruise Line booking of over $1000 total fare!

Onboard credit is cash value linked to your stateroom account on the ship, which you can spend by using your room key to pay for pretty much anything on the ship or on Castaway Cay. Onboard credit can be used for merchandise, adult beverages, bottled water, spa treatments, shore excursions, Palo, Remy, Palo Steakhouse or Enchanté meals, and other onboard activities, or even applied to gratuities for your servers and stateroom attendant.

Small World Vacations Onboard Credit

The travel agency we personally recommend here on MouseSavers.com, Small World Vacations , offers an onboard credit of $50 – $1000 when you book through them. (Credit depends on your total cruise fare; the minimum fare to get credit is $1000.) To learn more, visit the Small World Vacations website , where you can see full details about the onboard credit offer and request a quote on your cruise vacation .

Book by August 9, 2024.

• If you are interested in booking the Reduced Deposit Offer , we recommend either Small World Vacations or Undercover Tourist . We have worked with both companies for over 15 years and can recommend them wholeheartedly. It’s really a question of whether you prefer full-service booking or self booking. These staterooms often sell out fast, so if you see one you like, snag it quickly.
• Small World Vacations is a full service agency, offering a personal travel agent you can contact by email or direct phone number. It costs you nothing to use them, PLUS their FREE onboard credit offer applies to these special fares (the total cruise fare for the stateroom must be at least $1000 to get their onboard credit). 
• Undercover Tourist is a self-service booking site similar to Expedia or Priceline, but with years of focus on the Disney travel market. They offer the special rates mentioned above PLUS they add their own discounts. 

Last-Minute Restricted Stateroom Discounts

Restricted Guarantee fares, when offered, are a great way to save if you are flexible about your stateroom location and willing to book “last minute,” usually meaning 21-75 days prior to departure. The savings can be very large, but you won’t know your exact stateroom at booking time. Disney guarantees you will get at least the stateroom type specified, and you could get assigned a higher level. You usually will get an actual stateroom assignment about 14 days before embarkation, but it could be assigned as late as the embarkation day.

There are complicated rules for Restricted Guarantee bookings ; be sure to read them if you’re not already familiar with them. The “Restricted Guarantee” room categories are offered on select sailings. The categories are:

• Guaranteed Inside Stateroom with Restrictions (category IGT) – Guarantees an inside or better stateroom (minimum category 11C)
• Guaranteed Oceanview Stateroom with Restrictions (category OGT) – Guarantees an oceanview or better stateroom (minimum category 9D)
• Guaranteed Verandah Stateroom with Restrictions (category VGT) – Guarantees a verandah or better stateroom (minimum category 7A)

New! As of July 11, 2024, the following cruises had availability in the Restricted Guarantee categories . Prices given are lowest available fares for a single stateroom, in US dollars, including taxes, fees and port expenses, rounded to the nearest dollar. All sailings are from Port Canaveral unless noted otherwise.

General Notes:

• A single guest gets charged essentially the same price as two guests. (Cruises are generally priced for a minimum of two guests per cabin.)
• 5-passenger rooms are not available with this discount .
• These discounts come and go as room inventory for a cruise changes. If you check for one and it doesn’t come up, it may come back. It’s worth checking back a few times over the next day or two to see if the discount becomes available again.
• If a price isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean the category is completely sold out , just that it isn’t available with this discount.

Select number of guests to see total sailing price (for one stateroom):

• If you are interested in booking one of these special restricted last-minute rates , we recommend either Small World Vacations or Undercover Tourist . We have worked with both companies for over 15 years and can recommend them wholeheartedly. It’s really a question of whether you prefer full-service booking or self booking. These staterooms often sell out fast, so if you see one you like, snag it quickly.

Important details you need to know about Restricted Guarantee fares:

• Can be combined with the Small World Vacations onboard credit offer as well as Undercover Tourist’s own bonus discounts.
• Cannot be combined with any other Disney discount or promotional offers.
• The specific stateroom is assigned by Disney, generally within a week of cruise departure. You cannot select a stateroom number or make special requests as to stateroom location.
• If you book two or more Restricted Guarantee staterooms, there is no way to ensure that they are near each other, or even on the same deck. Disney will put the rooms as close together as they can, but sometimes they just don’t have any rooms left that are near each other.
• Applies to new bookings only. Existing reservations cannot be modified to these new categories.
• Full payment is due at time of booking. Booking holds are not permitted.
• Reservation is non-refundable . (This only applies to situations where you cancel the cruise. If Disney cancels the cruise, for example because of pandemic restrictions, you will get a refund.)
• Reservation and applied payment are non-transferable .
• Full legal names and birthdates for all stateroom occupants are required at time of booking.
• Name changes after booking are not allowed .
• Sail date, stateroom category and cruise itinerary changes are not allowed .
• You can book a maximum of four people per stateroom on a Restricted Guarantee booking.
• There is typically more availability for three or fewer guests per room. All Disney Cruise staterooms can hold three guests, but only some can hold four.
• If you’re looking for these cruise fares on Disney’s web site, look for fares labeled “Guaranteed Inside Stateroom with Restrictions” or similar for Oceanview or Verandah. The key words are “…with restrictions.”

The one major change that you can make after booking: additional guests can be added to a stateroom, subject to space restrictions. Restrictions and booking rules are subject to change.

If you are going on a Disney cruise and think there is any chance you or a friend or relative may want to go on another Disney cruise in the next 24 months, be sure to book a future cruise while you are still onboard the ship . Disney has one of the most generous onboard booking programs in the cruise industry, and it’s a great way to get a discount and lower deposit on a future Disney cruise. When you book a future cruise while still onboard the ship you get all of the following benefits:

• A 10% discount on the final cruise fare (with some blackout dates ; see below). Does not apply to Concierge bookings.
• A lower deposit requirement of only 10% on 7+ night cruises (regular deposit requirement is 20%). Does not apply to Concierge bookings.
• If you booked your current cruise with Small World Vacations and also use them as your agent for the future cruise , you’ll also get half their normal onboard credit . (Note that if you didn’t book your current cruise with Small World Vacations, the onboard booking agents may not let you add Small World as your agent while onboard. In that case, you would have to transfer your booking to Small World after you get home, but you would still be eligible for half their normal credit.)

You can book either a specific cruise or a “placeholder” cruise. A placeholder lets you make a booking without picking a specific cruise. It can be associated with a specific cruise later, after you get home and decide. To book a specific cruise onboard, you put down a deposit of 10% or 20% of the whole fare, depending on the length of the cruise. To book a placeholder, you put down a flat $250 deposit per future stateroom. When you change a placeholder to a specific cruise booking you’ll have to pay any increase in deposit. Keep in mind, there is an advantage to booking a specific cruise as early as possible: you lock in the rate. So, if there is a cruise you might want to take, it’s a good idea to book that specific cruise rather than a placeholder. Even if you’re not 100% sure that’s your perfect cruise, remember you can change it later with no penalty.

If you ultimately decide not to take a cruise, Disney will refund 100% of your deposit or placeholder payment . You always get a 100% refund as long as you haven’t passed the penalty date (120-75 days from sailing, depending on the cruise), and you didn’t book a concierge room or suite. There’s basically no risk, though it does tie up some deposit money while you think about your options.

You can change almost every aspect of your booking as many times as you need to and still keep the benefits . The name of one adult in each stateroom must stay the same, but you can change the names of any of the other guests, or increase or reduce the number of guests. You can change the stateroom category. You can change the ship or the sailing as long as the sail date is within 24 months of the initial booking date. If you end up changing to a more expensive booking, you’ll need to make up the difference between your original deposit and the new deposit. Keep in mind that if you later add a guest to a stateroom, they will get added at current rates, not at your initial booking rates. For the lowest final price and most flexibility, it’s a good idea to make the initial booking with everyone who might go, rather than only the people you know are going to go.

You get the full discount for up to two future staterooms or placeholders per household (i.e. per mailing address). Once you leave the ship, you can’t book more , so we recommend booking two (or more) every time, if you can afford to tie up the deposit money. If you later decide that you want to bring another family along, or put the kids in their own stateroom, you’ll be glad to have two rooms booked with the discount.

You can get the full discount for friends or relatives who are not sailing on your cruise. You’ll need your friends’ full legal names (as written on their passport) and their birth dates. Under the current rules, the first stateroom or placeholder you book with this discount on the future cruise needs to include at least one adult who is on the current cruise, in addition to anyone else you want to add, and then the second stateroom can have anyone in it. For example, say you wanted to book a cruise for your friends, the Smith family. You could book one room for your own family, then book the second room (on the same cruise) for the Smith family.

If you already have a future cruise booked, you can usually “re-shop” your existing booking and get the discount. However, you basically have to make a new booking and cancel the old one, and the price might have gone up since you booked originally, potentially wiping out your discount. Be sure to compare the bottom-line price for both bookings.

A few other terms & conditions:

• There is no discount or lower deposit for 1- or 2-night sailings, IGT, OGT and VGT Restricted Guarantee bookings, or concierge staterooms and suites.
• You can get the 10% discount and reduced deposit on a maximum of two staterooms per household.
• Onboard booking incentives CANNOT be combined with any group discounts organized by a travel agency.
• Disney could change these rules and benefits at any time. Check onboard for the latest terms.

Onboard Discount Blackout Dates:

Please note: there is no 10% discount when you book the following holiday and peak dates onboard (but you do get the smaller deposit):

• Disney Dream : 11/23, 11/27, 12/21, 12/26, 12/30
• Disney Fantasy : 11/23, 12/22, 12/26, 12/29
• Disney Magic : 11/25, 12/29
• Disney Treasure : 12/21, 12/28
• Disney Wish : 11/25, 12/23, 12/27, 12/30
• Disney Wonder : ( none announced yet )
• Disney Dream : ( none announced yet )
• Disney Fantasy : ( none announced yet )
• Disney Magic : ( none announced yet )
• Disney Treasure:  ( none announced yet )
• Disney Wish : 4/14, 4/18, 4/21
• The full legal names of everyone who is going to go on the future cruise, as listed on their passport or birth certificate
• The number of rooms you want to book and what type ( inside, outside, verandah or placeholder )
• Who’s in each room ( keeping in mind the maximum passengers for each room type )
• Specific cruises you’re interested in, if you plan to book a cruise and not a placeholder ( or just rough notes with your needs/restrictions like dates or region )
• Birth dates for everyone ( optional, but makes everything go smoother )
• Bring the info with you on the cruise. If you just want to book a basic placeholder, you can do that while on the cruise with the Disney Navigator App on your phone (if you don’t already have it, just search for “Disney Navigator” in the Apple or Google app stores; you can download it before the cruise leaves to save time). If you want to do anything more complicated you’ll need to talk to a consultant at the future cruise desk.
• If you can’t or don’t want to use the the Navigator app, at some point early in the cruise, go to the Future Bookings Desk on deck 4 and either fill out a form, or just put your room number and name on the sheet you brought (if it has all the details on it they’ll need) and drop it in the box. You can also wait for a consultant if they’re there, or check the schedule and come back when they’re scheduled to be there. If you drop off a form, they’ll secure a hold on a reservation and leave a printout by your stateroom door. If the reservation looks good, either go back to the desk to finish the booking or call 7-2848 from your stateroom phone. Either way, when the booking is done ask for a printed confirmation of your final reservation.
• Before you leave the ship, confirm that everything is correct . You should have a printed confirmation or an emailed confirmation. The confirmation should show that your deposit is paid (if not, the booking will be canceled). If this isn’t on your confirmation, go to the Future Bookings Desk or Guest Services and make sure everything is correct. If you are working with a travel agent, verbally confirm that they are listed on the reservation before you leave the ship.
• That’s it! If you booked a “placeholder” cruise, you can start the process of finding your actual cruise. If you are using a travel agent , email them to let them know you booked onboard. Once you’ve settled on the cruise you really want to take, change the booking as soon as you can to the actual sailing date to lock in the lowest possible fares and get the best choice of staterooms.

Disney Cruise Discounts for Disney Visa Cardholders

Disney Visa cardholders who use their card as their payment method onboard automatically get several discounts on purchases on the ship and on Castaway Cay. In order for this to happen, you have to register your Disney Visa card when you check in at the port. You do not need to charge the cruise fare on your Disney Visa to get the discounts.

You should not need to ask at purchase time to get the discounts; if you have the card registered any discounts should automatically be applied when you make an eligible purchase.

These discounts cannot be combined with any other discounts you might qualify for, such as Disney Vacation Club discounts.

Discounts include:

• 10% off selected merchandise purchases of $50 or more. Excludes sale merchandise, gift cards, Castaway Cay merchandise, DVDs, CDs, big-ticket items like art, jewelry, fragrances, cosmetics and watches, plus several vague catch-all categories like “selected special items.” Basically, ask first if you’ll get the 10% off, if it’s important to your purchase decision.
• 10% off 10-photo, 15-photo, 20-photo or unlimited photo packages.
• 10% off the Castaway Cay Getaway package (combination of snorkeling, bicycle and float or inner-tube rental).

• If you are interested in booking one of these special Disney Vacation Club rates , we recommend filling out a quote form with Small World Vacations . They give you full service, including a personal travel agent you can contact by email or direct phone number, and we recommend them wholeheartedly ! Best of all, it costs you nothing to use them, PLUS their FREE onboard credit offer applies to these special fares (though note that the total cruise fare must be at least $1000 to get their onboard credit). Be sure to tell them you want to book a Disney Vacation Club fare. You will need to fax or email proof of DVC membership to finalize the booking. Note that these staterooms often sell out fast, so if you see one you like, snag it quickly.

Organizing your own group? Disney Specialist travel agents are adept at handling large groups and offer on-board credit and sometimes other incentives. Contact a Disney Specialist travel agency such as Small World Vacations for details. Remember, it costs you nothing to use them!

Costco members can get rebates on Disney cruises, which come in the form of a Costco gift card. However, Costco Travel is not a full-service travel agency: don’t expect much service or information.

In our experience, Costco reps are very nice, but don’t know much about Disney Cruise Line. They almost certainly have never been on a Disney cruise, and may have never been on a cruise of any kind. If you choose to go this route, be prepared to spend time and energy doing your own research about what your package includes and how everything works. Heaven help you if you need to book something complicated like connecting rooms or want to know the pros and cons of different stateroom options. Costco Travel most definitely won’t be able to offer any insider tips on what to expect or help you take advantage of special booking tricks or “secret” room upgrades. Effectively you’re just booking the cruise yourself, but through Costco instead of Disney.

In addition, we find the Costco reps are clueless about Disney’s promotional offers — they really only know about the Costco rebate. You will have to do your own monitoring to see if any specials or price drops come out, and then see if you can get them applied to your booking. A top-notch Disney specialist agency will do this for you automatically, adjusting your reservation to reflect any current offers or discounts.

Travelocity sometimes has special deals on Disney cruises. They are usually fairly last-minute offers, most typically no more than 6 months in advance. Travelocity also sometimes advertises “15% off shore excursions” but be aware that those are privately booked excursions through a company called Port Promotions, NOT the official Disney excursions.

Expedia has the same base prices as everyone else, but occasionally they will have their own additional offer, like onboard credit or extra Expedia rewards points. Be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully; in some cases there are sharp limits on the extra rewards or credit, or it will only apply to the cruise fare for the first two guests instead of the entire cruise fare.

Disney Cruise Special Offers – Updated July 15, 2024

Sharing is caring!

There are several different types of Disney Cruise Special offers that are available right now.

Some are open to the general public, whilst others are available for Florida Residents, Military Personnel, and Canadian Residents.

There are 30 sailing dates with special offers available ranging from August 2024 until March 2025. This is down 1 from last week.

Florida Residents have 5 sail dates (down from 8), the US Military 19 cruises (down from 20), and Canadian Residents 11 sail dates (the same as last week).

There are a good number of deals available for everyone including European cruises, but these are gradually being reduced.

Remember that all of these offers are correct today, July 5, 2024, and are all subject to availability. New sailings are shown in bold.

Disney Wish Sailings

It is quite unusual to see special offers for Disney Wish sailings, but another one has been added for this week of a 3-night sailing.

3 Night Disney Wish Bahamian Cruise

There are 8 of the 3-night sailings with offers available.

This is in many ways surprising as it is peak sailing time. Sailings have been added each week for several weeks now.

Particularly surprising is that there is a sailing offered between Christmas and New Year.

• Port Canaveral, Florida
• Castaway Cay

These are sailings for VGT staterooms with up to 20% off.

• August 16, 2024, August 23, 2024

The 10-Night Hawaiian Cruise ending in Honolulu on September 23, 2024 is still available.

Disney Wonder Sailings from Honolulu

As expected the 15-night South Pacific Cruise sailing from Honolulu and ending in Sydney now has offer rates. Disney Wonder will be sailing on October 3, 2024 on this transpacific cruise.

Disney Alaska Sailings

Although there were a number of offers for Alaska recently these are no longer available.

It is rare to see discounts on Disney Wonder Alaska sailings but this year there have been a surprising amount.

There are no Alaskan cruise discounts for this week.

It is interesting to look at the opening day rates for the Alaska 2025 season and see how the rates change between dates:

Disney Magic Sailings

A couple of the Galveston cruises that have been on this list for a while have now disappeared. This may be an indication that if you are thinking about these cruises you should book them now.

5 Night Western Caribbean Cruise Sailing from Fort Lauderdale

No sailings currently offered.

Disney Cruise Europe Sailings

There are a surprising number of cruises to Europe available for these special rates, although the number available has now decreased considerably

The prices of Disney European cruises are traditionally high and show no sign of decreasing if you look at these opening day rates for Europe 2025.

7 Night Cruises from Civitavecchia

Unfortunately, no cruises available from Civitavecchia are discounted right now.

I have just spent a few days staying in the delightful town of Civitavecchia – if you get some time definitely think about staying a night or two here either before or after your cruise.

As the season has ended with Disney Wonder sailing back to the West Coast, there are no current offers for Australian or New Zealand Disney cruises.

If you are looking for cruises for the next season you can see what is available:

As anticipated there are now special offers for the Vancouver to Hawaii cruise sailing on September 23, 2024.

Last Minute Disney Cruise

Taking advantage of last-minute discounts on Disney cruises can be a great way to save money on your dream vacation. By being flexible with your schedule and stateroom details, you can access last-minute Disney cruise deals at a significantly lower price than standard fares. Here you will find information about Disney Cruise Line’s Restricted Guarantee fares so you can decide if they are right for you.

What Are Last-Minute Disney Cruises (Restricted Guarantee Fares)?

If you want to save money on booking Disney cruises , have flexibility, and can travel on short notice, consider Disney’s last-minute Restricted Guarantee fares. These can provide substantial savings without sacrificing your magical Disney cruise experience.

Let’s take a look at how it works.

Occasionally, Disney offers Restricted Guarantee staterooms in slow seasons or on less popular sailings. Since Disney cruises usually sell out quickly, such discounts are rarely required. But suppose Disney cannot fill a specific cabin category fast enough. In that case, they will offer discounted Restricted Guarantee fares as a booking incentive to fill the remaining rooms before sailing.

It’s a great deal, but there are some conditions.

Guarantee Rates are typically offered 60-90 days before a ship sails, sometimes even earlier. Once booked, a Guarantee stateroom cannot be changed or canceled, and full payment is required at the time of booking.

As another condition, last-minute Disney cruise deals do not allow guests to reserve a specific room when booking. Disney guarantees that you will receive the stateroom type specified in the promotion — or perhaps a higher level (i.e., if you book an Oceanview room, you’ll most likely receive an Oceanview room, but Disney may even upgrade you to a Verandah). The difference is that when you book, you won’t know your exact room number or location (like you would on a regular cruise booking).

The actual stateroom assignment usually takes place two weeks before embarkation, but it may even occur on departure day.

How Much Can You Save With Last Minute Disney Cruises?

The lowest prices and best selection on Disney Cruise Line voyages are usually found within a few days of their initial release, which is generally 15 months before departure. If you cannot (or will not) book that far in advance, the next best way to save is by looking for one of these last-minute Disney cruises. These discounted fares are the hidden gems of Disney Cruise Line pricing.

Last-minute Disney cruise fares – often called Restricted Guarantee staterooms or Guaranteed fares – let you choose your room category, but Disney determines which room you get within those categories.

By allowing Disney to choose the cabin and agreeing to the other “last minute” terms and conditions, guests can save up to 35% off the cost of a regular Disney cruise. Families and couples can save hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars with these guaranteed staterooms with restrictions.

Ultimately, how much you save with restricted guarantee staterooms depends on how expensive that cruise is at regular prices. However, this deal represents substantial savings as the price has been slashed by a third. Last-minute Disney cruises can often mean the difference between being able to afford a Disney cruise and those who could not otherwise afford it.

Last-minute cruises also allow guests to stretch their vacation budgets by spending less on their fare and more on luxury items such as Port Adventures, premium dining, and souvenirs.

Additionally, combining these last-minute Disney cruises with onboard credit offered by travel agencies can save you even more!

Codes for Last-Minute Disney Cruise Deals

Whenever you search for Disney cruise deals, you will find the cruise date, duration, price, and specific Disney ship listed for that particular cruise.

Additionally, you’ll notice a code like IGT, OGT, or VGT placed with the promotion. This code identifies the type of stateroom available for the specific deal.

The following list shows the Restricted Guarantee room categories (and their codes) available on selected last-minute Disney cruise deals.

• IGT – Category for Guaranteed Inside Stateroom with Restrictions , meaning that staterooms are guaranteed to be Inside or better (at least a category 11C).
• OGT – Category for Guaranteed Oceanview Stateroom with Restrictions , meaning that staterooms are guaranteed to be Oceanview or better (at least a category 9D).
• VGT – Category for Guaranteed Verandah Stateroom with Restrictions , meaning that staterooms are guaranteed to be Verandah or better (at least a category 7A).

Let’s examine the stateroom categories on a Disney cruise, so you know what to look for when searching for Restricted Guarantee fares.

Room Categories for Last-Minute Disney Cruises

Those unfamiliar with Disney cruises may need clarification on these codes. Here’s all you need to know about stateroom categories on Disney cruises.

There are four main types of staterooms on the Disney Cruise Line: Concierge (the most expensive), Verandah, Oceanview, and Inside (the cheapest). Within these four types are even more specific categories in which the corresponding prices get lower as you go down – typically starting with Category 1 as the most expensive, followed by Category 2, and so on until you reach Category 11, which is the least costly.

Regarding last-minute Disney cruises, discounted fares are not offered at the Concierge level but are available in the three less expensive stateroom categories. Here is a brief overview of these three categories.

• Inside staterooms offer comfortable and stylish furnishings without an ocean view. The rooms are designed for three or four guests and are Disney’s cheapest rooms.
• Oceanview staterooms provide stunning ocean views with porthole windows and offer affordable accommodations for three, four, or five guests.
• Verandah staterooms offer greater comfort, luxury, and a balcony outside the ship. Verandah staterooms are available in several styles and are more spacious than Inside and Oceanview (and more expensive).

If you want to learn more about finding the best staterooms on Disney cruises for your needs, please get in touch with The Vacationeer .

Whether it’s your first Disney Cruise or your 25th, they’ll make smooth sailing out of it!

They can help you select a last-minute Disney cruise in either the IGT, OGT, or VGT category.

Current Last-Minute Disney Cruise Deals

Booking a last-minute Disney Cruise can be a great way to save money while still getting the magical cruise vacation of your dreams. The following are some of the current Disney Cruise Line Restricted Stateroom deals.

At the time of writing, there are several last-minute Disney cruises from the Port of Miami where you can save up to 35%. Among them is a 4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Miami on the Disney Magic, priced at only $1,288 per person for double occupancy, plus taxes and fees. Similarly, a 5-night Eastern Caribbean cruise from Miami on June 24, 2023, is available for only $1,095 per person. Both options are within the IGT category (Guaranteed Inside Stateroom with Restrictions).

These deals are also available from Port Canaveral. Guests can save 30% on select sailings from Port Canaveral, including a VGT option departing June 17, 2023, for only $2,114 per person. There is a similar last-minute cruise departing on July 1, 2023, for only $2,121 per person (VGT).

While it’s of course easiest for Florida residents to take advantage of these discounts, it’s not just Disney cruises from Florida that offer last-minute deals. Several packages offer up to 35% off sailings from various domestic and global cruise ports, such as the Port of New York , Galveston , San Diego , New Orleans , Vancouver, San Juan, Barcelona, Copenhagen, and more. The Vacationeer can assist you in selecting the best itinerary and departure port for your vacation.

Last-Minute Deals Change Often. Get the Latest Updates from a Vacationeer .

Terms & Conditions for Last Minute Guaranteed Staterooms

Last-minute restricted guarantee fares have the following terms and conditions:.

• You can combine these deals with The Vacationeer’s onboard credit!
• You cannot combine this offer with any other Disney promotion or discount.
• Disney typically assigns your stateroom within a week of your cruise departure, although it may even be the day of departure. You cannot choose a stateroom number or make special requests .
• Restricted Guarantee fares apply to new bookings only. It is not possible to modify existing reservations to these new categories.
• There is no booking hold. Payment must be made in full at the time of booking.
• There are no refunds for Restricted Guarantee rooms (unless Disney cancels the cruise, in which case you will be refunded).
• Applied payments and reservations are non-transferable .
• It is not possible to change the sailing date, stateroom category, or cruise itinerary once booked.
• Restricted Guarantee bookings are limited to four people per stateroom .
• Additional guests can be added to your stateroom after booking , subject to space limitations. Restrictions and booking rules may apply.
• When you book two or more Restricted Guarantee staterooms, Disney cannot guarantee that they are next to one another or even on the same deck. They will do their best to place them close together, but sometimes they do not have any remaining rooms.
• All stateroom occupants must provide their full legal names and birthdates at the time of booking. No name changes can be made after booking.

Other Considerations for Last-Minute Disney Cruises

• All Disney Cruise staterooms can hold up to three passengers, but some can hold four. (Again, last-minute Guaranteed fares do not apply to 5-passenger rooms.)
• Last-minute availability is generally highest for three or fewer guests per room.
• Prices are essentially the same for single guests and two passengers. Disney Cruise Line’s base price applies to two passengers per cabin.
• Discounts on cruises fluctuate as room inventory changes. If you cannot find the deal you’re looking for, it’s worth contacting Disney travel agents to see if they can locate a similar discount. Alternatively, they can monitor the availability and contact you when the right deal becomes available.
• Disney’s website labels its last-minute Disney cruise promotion as “Guaranteed Inside/Oceanview/Verandah Stateroom with Restrictions.” If you need help locating these deals, it’s best to contact The Vacationeer.

When Do Last Minute Disney Cruise Offers Become Available?

Disney Cruise Line usually releases its schedules around 15 months in advance so that guests can schedule cruises well in advance. On the other hand, last-minute Disney cruise offers are generally released 60-90 days before departure .

Disney maintains a list of active last-minute cruise offers that are updated weekly (sometimes even daily). These offers may expire or sell out quickly, so knowing what’s available at the present moment is essential.

Do Disney Cruises Get Cheaper Last Minute?

Disney cruises often become cheaper last minute thanks to Restricted Guarantee fares. As the departure date approaches, Disney Cruise Line offers last-minute discounts on stateroom categories to entice passengers.

Last-minute deals on Disney cruises can provide substantial savings of 30% to 35% off the regular price. These Restricted Guarantee stateroom fares are released 60-90 days before a sailing date, sometimes even further in advance.

For the best prices and room selection, Disney recommends booking your cruise as soon as the dates are announced (around 15 months before departure). Many people find it unattractive to book so far in advance. Therefore, last-minute guarantee rooms are ideal for those who don’t like to plan ahead, want to save money, and are flexible on travel dates and accommodations.

What Is a Guaranteed Stateroom on a Disney Cruise?

A guaranteed stateroom on a Disney cruise refers to those bookings in which you select your stateroom category, but Disney assigns the specific room or location just before sailing. Being guaranteed alone doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll find a discount.

Restricted guarantee staterooms offer savings can up to 35%, so it’s an attractive deal if you have flexible plans and the willingness to accept Disney’s room assignment.

Certain restrictions come along with those deals, such as that they are non-refundable and you must pay in full at the time of booking. Additionally, they are released only a few months before the cruise departure.

If you are okay with forgoing some of the peace of mind that comes with preplanned accommodations, consider a restricted guaranteed stateroom. You can save a lot on these last-minute Disney cruises without compromising the magic of Disney cruises. For this reason, they are worth it!

How can i find a cheap cruise.

Cheap cruise deals are fairly easy to find in most cases, and you can begin by considering what kind of features and itinerary you want. The more simplistic the experience is, the cheaper it is in general. On Expedia.com, you can filter for specific features and sort your results by price. By mixing and matching certain features, unforgettable experiences may be available with discount cruises. For example, booking a cruise with stunning restaurants and live performances while opting for an inside cabin without an ocean view window or balcony could be ideal for a traveler who doesn't plan on spending much time in their cabin anyways

What is the cheapest month to take a cruise?

The cheapest month to take a cruise varies based on your destination and the cruise line company that runs the ship. A Caribbean cruise , for example, is generally cheapest in the late summer and early fall since it's the local hurricane season.

Can I cancel my cruise booking?

Yes, you can cancel, but there may be fees for canceling depending on how far in advance you cancel and what kind of booking you have. You can check the specific cruise lines’ cancellation policies in your itinerary on Expedia.com.

Are river cruises worth the money?

River cruises are quite relaxing, with much more varied scenery than you'd experience on an ocean cruise. These ships often also feature several stops along the river, so passengers can enjoy a greater variety of destinations to explore. Viking river cruises are especially adept at providing this unforgettable experience.

What cruises are best for families?

The best family cruises in 2024 / 2025 tend to be Disney cruises with plenty of offerings for kids and adults alike, though MSC cruises are known for their iconic Children Cruise Free promotion. Disney cruises, specifically, are essentially a Disney theme park on a boat with live shows, rides, and attractions with your kids' favorite characters.

How much does a cruise ship cost?

Cruise prices can vary quite a bit, with cheap cruises and especially luxurious all-inclusive cruises available. Budget lines can offer cruise tickets as low as $50 per night in some cases, while the more high-end experiences can reach up to $1,000 per night and more.

What are some of the best cruise lines?

Several different cruise lines have a lot to offer, such as Viking cruises , which are known for traversing oceans and rivers with a style that blends outdoor and indoor splendor. Celebrity cruise line is more upscale with luxurious features like WiFi, included beverages, champagne, and suites with panoramic views. Other top cruise lines include Royal Caribbean International , Carnival Cruise , Disney Cruise , and Norwegian Cruise .

How far in advance do you need to book a cruise?

It's generally best to book a cruise about 6 to 12 months before your cruise departure. That's the safest way to balance availability and affordability. Technically, you can book earlier or later than that, with some last-minute cruise deals occasionally available up to a weekbefore cruise departure.

Are cruise trips affordable?

They can be, and it's especially simple to search for more affordable cruises with Expedia.com. Not only can you filter by cruise length, cruise line, and cabin experience, but you may also sort your results by price to put the more affordable options first on your search results page.

What is it like to go on a cruise?

A cruise is generally designed to offer the most relaxing experience possible. Despite the size of the ship, it's possible to feel the wave. Many passengers report that the movements help them sleep. Additionally, many fun cruises offer live stage performances, several restaurants, and shopping opportunities. When the ship is in international waters, you may even be able to enjoy a bit of tax-free shopping.

Are cruises a good way to travel?

Cruise travel is great if you're looking for some varied fun. Compared to a plane or a train, cruises have their own attractions and can be considered an integral part of cruise vacations. Plus, a cruise can hit several different destinations as well, with plenty of time to enjoy the cruise and scenic locales. It's certainly worth it for a unique experience no other method of travel can match.

Which cruise line is the cheapest?

The actual cheapest cruise available depends on a variety of different factors. Still, Carnival Cruise tends to be very affordable overall, most of the time with great options like the Carnival Sunrise and Carnival Horizon . Royal Caribbean is also another fantastic cruise line offering great deals if you are watching your budget.

How can I get the best cruise deals in 2024 / 2025?

If you're looking for some of the best cruise deals, booking through Expedia.com makes it easy since you can sort your cruise search results by price and have access to special deals. One Key members can earn  OneKeyCash  on all eligible bookings and get instant discounts with Member Prices. Sign up today!

What do I need to know when I book a cruise?

To book a cruise, you'll need to know where you'll be setting off from and where you'll be going, in addition to how many people will be with you and the features of the specific cruise you book. Keep in mind that you'll want to factor in spending money in your budget for the cruise's restaurants and shops in most cases.

Where should I go on a cruise in 2024 / 2025?

Plenty of incredible cruise destinations are accessible such as cruises to the Bahamas and cruises to Mexico . You may also be interested in cruises to Alaska or cruises to Europe for something outside of the Caribbean.

What countries are best to visit by cruise ship?

A lot of countries are accessible via a cruise, but the best include a cruise to Australia . However, a cruise to Australia is quite a long trip at sea and really allows you to take in everything the cruise ship has to offer.

Can I get last-minute cruise deals?

Yes, last-minute cruise deals are often available, and you can find them on Expedia.com by inputting your travel dates in your search and sorting your results by price. The deals will automatically be applied to the price estimates so that the cheapest estimates will show up first on your search results page.

Are cruises all-inclusive?

Cruises aren't always all-inclusive, but they can be. If you're interested in all-inclusive cruises, you can activate a search filter for it to ensure your search results only show cruises that meet your all-inclusive standard.

Is food free on a cruise?

Food is sometimes free on a cruise, but there are often specialty restaurants that aren't included with the general booking that you'll have to pay for separately. Check the details of each cruise before you book in the "What's included" section after clicking the cruise on your search results page.

What cruise lines are adults only?

Several lines offer adults-only cruise experiences, including Viking cruises , Carnival cruises , and Princess cruises . With an adults-only cruise, you can relax in a tranquil and laid-back setting without kids running around and enjoy all the cocktails you want.

What cruise lines are considered to be the most luxurious?

Viking cruises are considered exceptionally luxurious, with smaller ships and larger cabins that make them feel more exclusive, but Celebrity cruises offer luxury cruise lines too. Booking a luxury cruise means you can expect high-end amenities including gourmet restaurants, sizable suites, top-tier performances, massive pools, and much more.

What are the best cruises for couples?

Viking Cruises have much to offer for a more romantic experience. Holland America Line cruises can be quite refined and romantic as well, with an adult-oriented experience that's sophisticated rather than rowdy. Romantic cruises offer exceptional service as well as cozy suites for you and your partner to enjoy that's complemented by delicious food often themed around the cruise destination.

Why should I go on a cruise for my honeymoon?

Going on a cruise is a great way for you and your new spouse to be pampered with luxury while also being able to explore a new destination. Whether you're taking a cruise to Hawaii or a cruise to Bermuda , a particularly romantic experience is almost guaranteed thanks to the sheer number of things to do.

Are there any Christmas cruises?

Yes, quite a few cruise lines operate around Christmas, and you can find them easily by entering travel dates around Christmas into your 2024 cruise search. Some of the most popular Christmas cruises are available with Carnival and Disney.

Do I need a passport to go on a cruise?

Whether or not you need a passport depends on where you're going and the kind of cruise it is. Any US territory like Bermuda and Puerto Rico won't require a passport, of course, but you also don't need one if you're on a closed-loop cruise. This is a cruise that begins and ends at a US cruise terminal, even if there are stops in other countries on the way.

Why should I book a cruise with Expedia.com?

Booking a cruise with Expedia.com makes it easy to find a cruise type that works best for you. You can use the cruise finder and sort by cruise line, type, destination, length, and itinerary. One Key members also earn OneKeyCash on all eligible bookings that can be used to save on future eligible trips.

What happens if a cruise is canceled?

Every cruise has a different cancellation policy, but generally, passengers are entitled to either a full refund or a credit for a future cruise at a later date. Remember that they may automatically change your booking to their rescheduled date, so you may have to contact them if that date doesn't work for your schedule.

*OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia,  Hotels.com  and Vrbo.

Disney Cruise Deals – Top Ways to Get Discounts on a Disney Cruise

Setting sail with Disney Cruise Line is one of the most magical ways to vacation at sea. As soon as you board the ship on embarkation day, you’re treated like royalty. It all starts with a majestic name announcement as you enter the Grand Hall for the first time. From that point on, you’ll enjoy a cruise of a lifetime that’s filled with the Disney Difference. With character experiences, entertainment, activities, dining, clubs, and so much more, you’ll be ready to book another Disney Cruise before you disembark which means finding the best Disney Cruise deals is essential!

There is so much that’s included in the price of a Disney Cruise. Later on in this article, I will go into further detail about everything that’s included. For this reason, a Disney Cruise can arguably be a more affordable Disney vacation than a trip to Disneyland or Walt Disney World . However, saving even more money when possible is always a plus! Great deals and discounts can be a lifesaver .

In this article, I’m going to dive into different savings and discounts that are available for Disney Cruise Line.  I will go over different types of deals, where to get them, and how you can get assistance with planning your Disney Cruise.

Disney Cruise Line Price Factors

Before we look at the discounts and special offers that are available for Disney Cruises, let’s first take a look at how much a Disney Cruise costs without any discounts. Unlike theme park tickets, there isn’t one specific price that I’m able to list that will cover all of the available cruises. The price of a Disney Cruise varies depending on a few factors. The price of a cruise will be affected by things such as travel dates, how many nights you’re sailing, destination, how many Guests are in your party, if you’re sailing on a standard or specialty cruise, which ship you’re sailing on, and what level of stateroom you want to stay in.

There are ten destinations that Disney Cruise Line sails to.

• Alaska Cruises
• Bahama Cruises
• Caribbean Cruises
• Europe Cruises
• Hawai’i Cruises
• Mexico Cruises
• New Zealand and Australia Cruises
• Pacific Coast Cruises
• South Pacific Cruises
• Transatlantic Cruises

Not only are there many destinations that Disney Cruise Line sails to, there are also fifteen ports that Disney Cruise Line departs from!

• Auckland, New Zealand
• Barcelona, Spain
• Brisbane, Australia
• Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy
• Fort Lauderdale, Florida
• Galveston, Texas
• Honolulu, Hawai’i
• Melbourne, Australia
• New Orleans, Louisiana
• Port Canaveral, Florida
• San Diego, California
• San Juan, Puerto Rico
• Southampton, England
• Sydney, Australia
• Vancouver (British Columbia), Canada

Currently, Disney Cruise Line has six ships in its fleet. These ships are:

• Disney Magic
• Disney Wonder
• Disney Dream
• Disney Fantasy
• Disney Wish
• Disney Treasure

When it comes to staterooms, there are four different levels that you can choose from: Inside, Oceanview, Verandah, and Concierge. Inside Staterooms are on the innermost part of the ship. They are adorned with porthole mirrors, but have no actual view of the outdoors. Oceanview Staterooms have at least one (possibly two) porthole windows that give you beautiful views of the open ocean when you’re out at sea. As the name suggests, Verandah Staterooms have their own private verandahs. These are open-air balconies that provide you with a place to sit and take in the exquisite views that you’ll have. Verandah Staterooms are also the largest of the non-Concierge level staterooms. Concierge Staterooms are the most upscale (and priciest) stateroom option. These staterooms come with premium amenities and services. They also have large private verandahs.

How Much is a Disney Cruise?

Since there are so many different factors that could predict the price of your Disney Cruise, I’m going to pull up a quote for one specific cruise. This will give you a general idea of how much Disney Cruises cost without any discounts.

For this example, I’m looking at a 7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral for 4 Guests from September 14th-21st, 2024 on the Disney Fantasy (This is also a Halloween on the High Seas sailing.)

• Inside – $5,575
• Oceanview – $6,359
• Verandah – $6,457
• Concierge – $16,859

These prices are for all 4 Guests, including Taxes, Fees, & Port Expenses.

For this specific cruise, the price per Guest is:

• Inside – $1,393.75
• Oceanview – $1,589.75
• Verandah – $1,614.25
• Concierge – $4,214.75

Let's not forget everything that’s included in the price of a Disney Cruise! This price not only already reflects all of the taxes, fees, and expenses for a 7-Night specialty Caribbean Disney Cruise, but it also includes all of the Disney Cruise Line inclusive benefits!

There are four different tiers of Castaway Club Members: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Pearl. You will become a Silver Member after completing 1 sailing, a Gold Member after completing 5 sailings, a Platinum Member after completing 10 sailings, and a Pearl Member after 25 sailings.

These exclusive deals include discounts on Disney Cruise Line voyages. After your first sailing, you’ll receive a Castaway Club Welcome Offer . With this offer, you can receive up to $350 off of a future 7-night or longer cruise. To receive this discount, you must book within 60 days after you disembark from your first Disney Cruise.

New members aren’t the only ones who receive deals on Disney Cruises. All members of Castaway Club receive special booking offers for future sail dates!

Disney Visa Cardmember Cruise Savings

Disney Visa Cardmembers can receive savings on Disney Cruise Line. However, these savings are different from the ones that we've currently been looking out.  There aren't currently any Disney Cruise Line discounts for Disney Visa Cardmembers where you will be saving a portion off of your trip. However, there are still savings and perks that Disney Visa Cardmembers can use in regards to their Disney Cruise!

Disney Visa Cardmembers can save on Disney Cruise Line merchandise, spa treatments, and other Disney Cruise Line packages. Here are all of the Disney Cruise Line deals that Cardmembers can receive. You must use your Disney Visa Card on these purchases in order to receive the discounts.

• Photo Packages – Receive 10% off a non-discounted photo package. This offer is good for 10-photo, 15-photo, 20-photo, and all-inclusive digital photo packages.

New Disney Visa Cardmembers can also save with Disney Cruise Line.

You can easily earn this $300 statement credit by using your new Disney Visa Card to pay for you Disney Cruise!

Other Disney Cruise Line Deals

Costco has exclusive Disney Cruise Line deals and promotions available exclusively for their members . Currently, they only have one offer with savings. However, with every Disney Cruise that you book with Costco, you'll receive a Digital Costco Shop Card. If you're unfamiliar with this, a Digital Costco Shop Card is an electronic gift card that is sent to you via email. This gift card can be used exclusively at Costco.

The Disney Cruise Line deal that Costco is currently offering is the Reduced Deposit Deal . With this deal, you can book select 2024 and 2025 Disney Cruise Line Sailings with a reduced deposit. This offer is valid for new bookings only and cannot be used on Concierge Staterooms. To receive the Reduced Deposit Deal, you must book your Disney Cruise through Costco by February 16h, 2024.

Currently, AAA does not have any special Disney Cruise Line deals. They can, however, help you filter through the different itineraries that are available and help find you the lowest price possible for the cruise that you're searching for! There are also additional benefits that you can receive by booking your Disney Cruise with a AAA agent.

While not guaranteed, it is possible that you may receive onboard ship credit from your AAA agent. There is also the possibility that you could receive discounts on hotels, activities, and rental cars that are associated with your cruise plans. To find out more about what AAA can offer you for your Disney Cruise, contact them today!

Last Minute Disney Cruise Deals

You can find some of the best deals on Disney Cruises by booking them last minute. The timeframe for a last-minute cruise is usually 60 days out from the sail date. Due to the last-minute status of the booking, stateroom availability is limited. You most likely will not find out the location of your stateroom until about 14 days out from your sailing (or less). But this is a great way to find Disney Cruise deals if you're flexible!

Book Your Disney Cruise

There are so many ways that you can get Disney Cruise deals! The best part about these savings is that they're available to both new and seasoned cruisers. When you're ready to book your Disney Cruise, don't forget that you will get the best price and assistance when you go through Get Away Today .

Their experienced travel professionals are aware of all of the deals and savings that are available for your Disney Cruise. Let them take the time to find the best way to save you the most money possible. They will also handle the rest of details for your trip. Get Away Today's agents will take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying your time at sea!

What's Included in a Disney Cruise

The best part about the price of a Disney Cruise is that it includes so much. Plus, there’s something for everyone! Your cruise cost will include your stateroom, dining, entertainment, access to pools and other recreation, youth clubs, a visit to Disney’s Private Island(s), plus access to nightclubs and lounges.

Don't forget to read our full Disney Cruise Line packing list so you don't forget the essentials!

The staterooms on Disney Cruise Line ships are made with families in mind. They provide enough space for everyone to be comfortable when getting ready, spending time in the room, and going to bed for the night. Additionally, there is plenty of space for all of your luggage! The raised beds provide space underneath to store all of your suitcases and bags.

Other standard amenities include:

• Split Bathrooms ( in most staterooms ) – These split bathrooms make it easier for more people to get ready at the same time. One of the bathrooms has a shower, sink, and mirror. The other bathroom has a toilet sink and mirror.
• Bathroom Amenities – In the bathrooms, you’ll find Disney Cruise Line branded toiletries. These toiletries are from the H2O+ Spa line. The products include Sea Marine Revitalizing Shampoo, Sea Marine Revitalizing Conditioner, and Sea Salt Body Wash. There is also a hairdryer provided.
• Refrigerator – The dining options on Disney Cruises are exceptional! Having a refrigerator in your room is a nice to way to keep any left-overs that you may have. It’s also a great way to keep your drinks cool.

• Housekeeping – On Disney Cruises, housekeeping happens twice a day. This also includes turndown service to get your stateroom ready for the night!

• Themed Dining – On each Disney Cruise ship, there are three Main Dining restaurants. These dining locations are all full-service meals where you can sit back and relax while you’re waited on. These restaurants are also themed, with fun and exquisite details, and of course Disney storytelling. Again, these restaurants will vary depending on which ship you are on. On the Disney Treasure, you will find Plaza de Coco, Worlds of Marvel, and 1923.
• All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Soft-Serve Ice Cream – Whether you’ve been soaking up the sun on deck, or you’re just craving a sweet treat, stop by and get yourself some soft-serve ice cream… as many times as you’d like!

• Late-Night Snacks – Not only can late-night food be enjoyed with your room service, adults can also indulge in late-night snacks at the adult-only nightclubs and lounges.

Entertainment

Disney is known for its great entertainment. Live entertainment, nighttime spectaculars, movies, and more. We’ve experienced it at theme parks, on Broadway, at movie theaters, and even in the comfort of our own home. It’s no different when it comes to a Disney Cruise!

Entertainment includes:

• Characters – Just like at the Disney Parks, Disney Cruise Line has a variety of character meet and greets. Get ready for hugs, autographs, and pictures with your favorite Disney characters. Enjoy the special outfits that the characters wear throughout the sailing. You can even meet rare characters on some of Disney Cruise Line’s specialty cruises!
• Disney Movies – While you’re on the deck, in the pool, or in one of the ship’s theaters, you can enjoy some of Disney’s great movies. Disney Cruise Line shows both classic Disney movies as well as new ones that are being shown for the first time!
• Live Music – Throughout the ship, you’ll be able to see and enjoy live music.
• Broadway-Style Musicals – Across the fleet of Disney Cruise Line ships, there are a number of extravagant musicals for you to enjoy. These musicals include Beauty and the Beast, Frozen – A Musical Spectacular, Tangled: The Musical, Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular, Twice Charmed: An Original Twist on the Cinderella Story, Disney Dreams – An Enchanted Classic, Disney’s Believe, Disney Seas the Adventure, The Golden Mickeys, The Little Mermaid, and Disney: The Tale of Moana.
• Shows, Trivia, Mixers, and Karaoke
• Kids Clubs – Children can enjoy some time with their peers in Disney Cruise Line’s imaginative kids clubs . These clubs, as well as the activities in them, are organized and geared towards specific age groups. Specially trained Disney counselors are at all of the kids clubs for supervision, help, and to assist with activities.
• Adult-Only Nightclubs and Lounges – The adults have a chance to get away for a moment by themselves to eat, drink, and dance at Disney Cruise Line Nightclubs and Lounges .
• Fireworks at Sea – There’s something special about Disney fireworks. Of course this isn’t something that could be left out of a Disney Cruise. Watch as magic fills the sky during these amazing nighttime spectaculars.

Pools & Recreation

There’s plenty of water fun to be had on the Disney Cruise Line ships. All of the ships have a variety of different pools, water play areas, and waterslides for all different age groups!

• Little ones can enjoy themed water play areas where they can splash around in fountains, misters, and more! These areas are exclusively for little cruisers ages 3 and below.
• Kids can enjoy the shallow depths of Mickey’s Pool or the water playground at AquaLab. The water slides also provide fun for children of all ages.
• Goofy’s Pool and Donald's Pool are both considered family pools. Everyone can enjoy splashing around in the water and participating in fun activities.
• On the Disney Fantasy, you can also find an Adult-only area called Satellite Falls. This is a splash pool that features a cascading rain curtain.
• For a more thrilling experience, you can try one of the water coasters: AquaDuck or AquaDunk . These are similar to water slides, but you’re being propelled through a tube. You even get to go through an acrylic tube over the side of the ship!

For those who are looking for a place to workout during their cruise, you can head to the fitness center onboard the ship. Here you’ll find weight machines, cardio equipment, and even fitness classes!

Island Destinations

Another inclusive part of a Disney Cruise is the opportunity to stop at an island destination. Currently, the destination is Disney’s Private Island, Castaway Cay. Beginning in the summer of this year, sailings will head to Disney’s newest island destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

Both of these islands are located in The Bahamas. In order to stop at either (or both) of these islands during your sailing, you must sail on a Bahamian or Caribbean cruise. For more information on both of these island destinations, head over to these detailed articles to read more about each one!

• Disney’s Castaway Cay
• Disney’s Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point

Themed Disney Cruises

Disney Cruise Line has a number of themed cruises that bring even more fun and adventure to the sea! Currently, these themed cruises include Pixar Day at Sea, Marvel Day at Sea, Halloween on the High Seas, and Very Merrytime Cruises. During these cruises, you will be able to enjoy themed dining, character encounters, merchandise, activities, and more!

Pixar Day at Sea

During Pixar Day at Sea , you’ll join your favorites from Pixar movies such as Monsters Inc., The Incredibles, and Toy Story! Character experiences during this charming day will include characters like Mike and Sully, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Woody, and Jesse! You’ll also be able to sing and dance with a wide array of Pixar characters during the Pixar Pals Celebration. And the fun doesn’t end there! An Incredible Deck Party is a super way to lead to the firework finale. The Incredibles are.. well.. incredible, but they may need your help saving the day during this deck party!

There are three different themed dining options available during Pixar Day at Sea. Hey Howdy Breakfast is a musical breakfast where you’ll be joined by Woody, Jesse, and Bullseye! Pixar Day at Sea Dinner serves up delicious dishes that are inspired by your Pixar favorites! During Undersea Magic with Crush , you’ll enter the world of Finding Nemo for your meal.

Disney Cruise Deals Q&A

September is usually the cheapest month to go on a Disney Cruise. The main reasoning for this is hurricane season. Bookings aren't as popular during this month because Guests want to avoid storms and the possibility of cancellation.

Yes, you can often find Disney Cruises on sale. You can find special offers directly on Disney Cruise Line's webpage.

The price of a Disney Cruise for a family of 4 depends on quite a few factors. The price of a Disney Cruise varies depending on the destination, length of sailing, travel dates, ship, and which stateroom you choose to stay in.

Yes, it can be cheaper to book a Disney Cruise last minute. However, if you're able to, I would suggest to book a Disney Cruise as soon as the booking period opens up. This is also a very cheap time to book a Disney Cruise and you will have more options available to you. Your stateroom location will be more restricted when you book last minute.

Disney to add new ship in Tokyo to expanding cruise business

By Dawn Chmielewski, Lisa Richwine and Rocky Swift

URAYASU, Japan (Reuters) -Walt Disney unveiled plans on Tuesday to launch a new cruise ship that will set sail from Tokyo starting in fiscal 2028, adding a ninth vessel to the brand's growing fleet.

The new ship, to be modelled after the Wish that is the largest vessel in the group, is a partnership with Oriental Land Company (OLC), the operator of Tokyo Disneyland. It is part of a 10-year, $60 billion expansion of Disney's theme parks and cruise business.

Disney currently has five cruise ships in operation. In addition to the Tokyo-based vessel, it has plans for three others, including one that will set sail from Singapore in 2025.

The ship, whose name was not revealed, will have a maximum capacity of 4,000 passengers and is expected to bring in about 100 billion yen ($621.77 million) in annual sales within several years of launch, OLC said.

"To set sail from Japan will make Disney vacations at sea more accessible to Japanese guests, who we know are some of our biggest fans," Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Signature Experiences, told reporters.

The cruise line expansion comes as the industry is enjoying a rebound from a global shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cruise Lines International Association expects the number of passengers to reach 34.7 million this year, up 17% from 2019.

Josh D'Amaro, chairman of Disney Experiences, told Reuters in a recent interview that the ships provide the opportunity to bring themed entertainment to places that are not close to the company's theme parks, such as Melbourne or Vancouver.

Disney also reaches a segment of the cruise market that had gone unaddressed - families.

"Forty percent of the people on those ships today will say, 'The only reason I'm on a cruise ship today is because Disney's here,' which means we're creating a market," D'Amaro said.

"When we are in Singapore, with this unbelievable ship that we're building, the same thing is going to happen," he added. "We know there's an insatiable demand for everything Disney."

Disney's experiences business, which includes its domestic and international parks and cruise line, accounted for more than one-third of the company's revenue in the March quarter, and nearly 60% of its operating income.

The company's stock tumbled in May after Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston warned about a "global moderation" in travel in the fiscal third quarter and other impacts, including higher wages and pre-opening expenses related to two of the new cruise ships and the new vacation island, Lookout Cay.

The rising tide for Disney's cruise lines could help offset any softness in the company's domestic theme park business, UBS analyst John Hodulik said. The company said its second quarter booking occupancy is at 97% for all five ships.

The rapid expansion of Disney's cruise capacity "helps de-risk the medium-term outlook" for the parks business, Hodulik said.

Disney's other recent investments include three new areas at the Tokyo DisneySea theme park, recreating the worlds of "Frozen," "Tangled," and "Peter Pan," the opening of a "Frozen" themed land at Hong Kong Disneyland, and a "Zootopia" experience in Shanghai.

The company is expected to announce plans for new attractions at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in central Florida in August, at its D23 fan convention.

Everything we know about Disney Treasure, coming to Disney Cruise Line in 2024

In just a few months, Disney Cruise Line will welcome its next ship, 4,000-passenger Disney Treasure, to the fleet when the 144,000-ton ship sets sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, with its first paying guests.

After a 10-year pause in growth, the cruise line is currently in a rapid era of expansion.

In 2022, Disney Wish became the first of three all-new Triton Class ships to join Disney Magic , Disney Wonder, Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. In December 2024, Disney Treasure will join the fleet as the second of three Triton Class ships. Disney Destiny is scheduled to round out that Triton trio in 2025. Disney will also welcome Disney Adventure , the largest of the new ships, in 2025 to sail out of Singapore, and an unnamed ship, based on the Triton Class design, to sail from Tokyo starting in 2029.

From a new theme and new restaurants and bars to announced Caribbean itineraries, here's everything we know so far about Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure theme

Disney Treasure will share much of its footprint and layout with its sister ship, Disney Wish. However, it will have a distinct look that's less "bright-and-airy fairy tale" than Wish and more "mysterious adventure."

Based on renderings, Disney Treasure will feature a Grand Hall that leans into a palette of deep blue, turquoise and gold. Its design is inspired by gilded palaces from faraway places such as Asia and Africa — including the fictitious city of Agrabah from Disney's "Aladdin."

Fittingly, the statue in the Grand Hall will feature Jasmine, Aladdin and Magic Carpet ready to go on an adventure, which is the theme of the ship.

Captain Minnie will even wear a special adventure-seeking outfit while on board Disney Treasure. She will appear on the ship's bow. Out on the stern, the adventurous duo of Peter Pan and Captain Hook will sail along wherever Disney Treasure may take them.

Disney Treasure cabins

Disney Treasure will have 1,256 cabins and suites ranging from interior cabins to a two-story funnel suite — all reflecting the theme of adventure. Disney movies like "Aladdin," "Pocahontas," "Finding Nemo," "Up," "Luca" and "Encanto" will be incorporated into the decor of interior, ocean-view and verandah cabins.

The Concierge Suites, specifically, will feature nods to "The Lion King," while the four Royal Suites pay homage to the tigers found in "The Jungle Book" and "Aladdin."

The signature suite on the ship will be the two-story Tomorrow Tower Suite.

Disney Wish introduced the concept of a nearly 2,000-square-foot, multiroom suite in the ship's faux funnel. While its Tower Suite was "Moana" themed, Disney Treasure's version will feature a futuristic design inspired by Epcot. The Tomorrow Tower Suite can sleep up to eight guests. If you want to book this stunner, prepare for sticker shock. This suite can go for $50,000 (or more) for a weeklong sailing for a family of four.

Disney Treasure restaurants

Each Disney ship has three included restaurants that guests and their dining team rotate through each night at either an early or late dinner seating. On Disney Treasure, one restaurant will be new to the fleet. Two will return from Disney Wish but with a slightly different spin.

Plaza de Coco

This all-new restaurant is only found on Disney Treasure. Plaza de Coco is a Mexican restaurant set after the events of the movie "Coco."

It's replacing the "Frozen"-themed space found on Disney Wish. A similar concept, the restaurant is a "dinner in the round" experience with music, dancing and characters from the "Coco" film performing on stage and making their way around the room during dinner.

As with all the restaurants on Treasure, guests will be scheduled to dine here at least twice, so Plaza de Coco will offer two unique shows.

You can look forward to menu options such as Enrique's port wine-braised beef short rib; Abuelita Elena's shrimp diabla; chorizo street croquettes with chili-lime crema, cotija cheese and cilantro; a blistered poblano pepper stuffed with Oaxaca cheese and green rice; warm coconut tres leches with milk; and margarita lime cheesecake.

Worlds of Marvel

As on Disney Wish, Disney Treasure passengers will enjoy the Worlds of Marvel restaurant . Due to Treasure's longer itineraries, which ensure at least two visits to each restaurant, a new second show featuring Rocket and Groot will be added to the Worlds of Marvel lineup.

This new show, "Marvel Celebration of Heroes: Groot Remix," will be a music-fueled celebration that honors Marvel superheroes and gives guests a chance to test their knowledge of the Marvel universe.

"Quantum Encounter," the Marvel-themed dinner show on Disney Wish, will also be on Disney Treasure, though in a slightly updated way.

Another Disney Wish restaurant that will be on Disney Treasure is 1923, a California-themed restaurant named after the year the Walt Disney Company was founded. The restaurant is adorned with props, art and decor from Disney's decades of storytelling. On Disney Treasure, the memorabilia will be from Disney's more adventurous films and stories.

Jumbeaux's Sweets

Jumbeaux's Sweets is a new ice cream parlor and candy shop debuting on Treasure. It's inspired by Jumbeaux's Cafe in the movie "Zootopia," and the venue will feature statues of Officer Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.

Adults-only restaurants

As with Disney Wish, Disney Treasure will have Palo Steakhouse, Enchante and The Rose, a bar located at the entrance to both. Guests ages 18 and older can visit them for an additional fee. I'd argue this is some of the best money you can spend at sea , given how enjoyable the meals are.

Not just for grownups, the fast-casual, upper-deck Mickey & Friends Festival of Foods will also be on board Disney Treasure.

Disney Treasure bars

Skipper society.

Disney Cruise Line is doing something a bit different with its newest ship, and that's theming onboard spaces to park attractions, not just Disney characters and movies. This concept is evident in the new Skipper Society bar on Disney Treasure.

Skipper Society takes the place of The Bayou on Wish. It's inspired by Disney's Jungle Cruise ride and its wisecracking skippers. Here, guests will find a menu of themed cocktails and light snacks, such as waffles.

Periscope Pub

A second new bar is Periscope Pub, inspired by Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" (and Disney's 1954 movie version of the book and theme park attraction). It will replace Wish's Keg & Compass as Disney Treasure's sports bar. The bar is designed to look like the Nautilus submarine from the story, complete with a giant periscope, porthole windows and a ceiling designed to look like you're underwater. Watch out for the giant squid below!

The Haunted Mansion Parlor

Disney will replace the popular "Star Wars"-themed Hyperspace Lounge , which debuted on Disney Wish, with the Haunted Mansion Parlor on Disney Treasure. This spooky watering hole is inspired by the creepy atmosphere and happy haunts of the Haunted Mansion park attraction.

The bar will be designed to resemble a first-class drawing room on a classic oceanliner that's been taken into the ghostly realm. Guests can indulge in specialty cocktails (including spirit-free versions) with ghostly messages and ghoulish embellishments (gummy eyeballs, anyone?). They can also spot homages to the original park attraction and its cast of ghostly characters, as well as become acquainted with new seafaring haunts.

Passengers enamored with the Haunted Mansion Parlor will find themed souvenirs in the ship's onboard shops, so they can take home a mirror full of hitchhiking ghosts or a clock that strikes the 13th hour to start up some ghoulish revelry.

Scat Cat Lounge

Just off the ship's Grand Hall is another all-new space designed for adults found only on Disney Treasure: Scat Cat Lounge. This jazzy space where "everybody wants to be a cat" is inspired by Disney's "The Aristocats" animated film, which was set in Europe circa 1910.

Inside the lounge, you'll find hanging lanterns, a baby grand piano and a menu of craft cocktails. On the menu are options such as the Creme de la Creme Martini and the Cat Drink, made with clarified bourbon, amaro, Aperol and fresh lemon, which creates a near-translucent cocktail that highlights the cat design at the bottom of the glass.

Disney Treasure activities

Broadway-style shows.

Disney Treasure will debut "Disney The Tale of Moana" as its new Broadway-style musical. The show will mark the first time Disney has brought the story of Moana to the stage. The musical will feature popular songs and favorite characters from the animated movie.

"Beauty and the Beast" and "Disney Seas the Adventure" will be the two returning Broadway-caliber shows running on the ship's main stage, the Walt Disney Theatre.

AquaMouse, Disney's water ride that debuted on Disney Wish, will also be a signature attraction on Disney Treasure. As on Wish, riders will enjoy an animated adventure with Disney characters before they start twisting and turning around the ship. Treasure will add a third, new show to the rotation of animated shorts, along with the two from Wish.

Called "Curse of the Golden Egg," the animation will follow Mickey and Minnie as they search for lost treasure inside an ancient temple. This new show will eventually be added to the AquaMouse rotation on Disney Wish.

"The Lion King"-themed Sarabi will be the ship's two-story, multipurpose entertainment zone (replacing Luna from Disney Wish).

When will Disney Treasure set sail?

Disney Treasure's maiden voyage is set for Dec. 21, 2024. It will be a seven-night sailing from Port Canaveral (near Orlando). The sailing includes stops at Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Castaway Cay , the line's private island in the Bahamas. Passengers will enjoy three sea days to rest up from their adventures ashore.

The ship will sail weeklong Caribbean cruises throughout its maiden season. Most of the ship's Eastern Caribbean itineraries will include the same ports, but a few swap out St. Thomas for San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Disney Treasure will also offer seven-night Western Caribbean sailings with two sea days and ports of call in Cozumel, Mexico ; Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands; Falmouth, Jamaica; and Castaway Cay.

This is different from the itineraries on Disney Wish, which are three- and four-night sailings to the Bahamas. The longer itineraries will give guests more time to enjoy the ship, and Disney has created more experiences to keep them entertained.

How much does it cost to sail on Disney Treasure?

Fares for a Disney Treasure cruise are a bit higher than some of Disney's other ships because it's the line's newest ship and only offers weeklong itineraries. The other ships have the option of shorter, less expensive itineraries.

Rates start at $4,211 for an inside cabin (double occupancy) or $6,741 for a family of four. The cost for verandah cabins starts at a little over $8,000 for a family, and concierge cabins start at around $13,000.

You'll find the lowest prices on off-peak sailing dates, often in September, as well as dates outside of popular school vacation times.

Bottom line

Since 2012, Disney Cruise Line has operated a fleet of four ships, but 2022 marked the start of a period of rapid growth for the line. It welcomed Disney Wish in 2022, Disney Treasure will set sail in late 2024 and the third Triton Class ship, Disney Destiny, is scheduled to join the fleet in 2025.

Disney also made a surprise purchase of one of the world's largest cruise ships. That vessel, Disney Adventure, will join the fleet and operate out of Singapore beginning in 2025 . The cruise line will also introduce a new ship to the Japanese cruise market in 2029 with short sailings out of Tokyo.

Additionally, the cruise line added a new highest tier, Pearl, in its Castaway Club loyalty program to mark Disney's 25th year of cruise operations. Its second private island in the Bahamas, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point , opened this summer.

It's an exciting time to be a Disney Cruise Line fan. Stay tuned for more information about Disney Treasure as additional details are released leading up to the Dec. 21, 2024, maiden voyage.
