Very Merrytime Cruises: Disney Cruise Line’s Magical Holiday at Sea

Three-panel holiday cruise scene: Mickey latte art, Mickey-shaped wreaths by the ship, and a decorated tree in the atrium.

Deck the halls. Trim the palm trees. It's time for the merriest voyage of the year.

Disney Cruise Line's Very Merrytime Cruises turn the high seas into a little slice of Christmas. Twinkling trees. Cozy nooks. A dash of holiday magic around every corner.

Step into the atrium and there it is: a beautiful Christmas tree, glowing bright, with a gingerbread house so sweet it almost feels a shame to eat it.

Very Merrytime Cruises set sail from November through the end of the year. A perfect little gift, wrapped up and waiting under the tree.

What Is a Very Merrytime Cruise?

Picture a Disney ship, dressed up for the holidays. Sparkling lights. Festive cheer. Mickey and friends in their holly jolly best.

These sailings depart from a few special spots: Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale in Florida, Galveston in Texas, and San Diego in California.

What's Included

All the classic Disney cruise favorites are still here. Rotational dining each night. Broadway-style shows. A pool deck full of laughter. Endless hot cocoa and soft-serve, because it's the holidays.

Then comes the extra sparkle. Deck parties. Cozy crafts. A visit from a certain jolly guest in red. Christmas trees glow from bow to stern, and holiday treats appear at every turn.

Mickey and Minnie's Merrytime Tree Lighting

A sweet little tradition: Mickey and friends gather to light the ship's holiday tree. Warm, twinkly, and just the right way to kick off the season.

Mickey and Minnie's Holiday Party

Head up top for music, cheer, and a whole lot of holiday spirit. A celebration of family and friendship, dressed in its finest festive colors.

Festive Crafts and Activities

Little hands and big hearts alike will love the holiday crafts sprinkled throughout the sailing. Simple, sweet, and full of Christmas cheer.

Making the Most of the Magic

Every family has its own holiday traditions. A Very Merrytime cruise is a lovely place to start new ones too.

There's always a cozy spot for hot cocoa and quiet chats. Plenty of pretty corners for next year's holiday card. And if Santa's on the wish list, he tends to make his rounds.

One easy tip: get familiar with the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app before sailing. It keeps the holiday magic close, and makes checking on the little extras, like the spa, simple too.

A Crazy Imagination Travel advisor can help find the coziest sailing and the sweetest stateroom for a holiday to remember.
