When the magic of Disney took to the water a few short years ago with the launching of Disney Cruise Line, families who'd never even considered cruising before were walking the gangplank to board as fast as they could. They imagined that a Disney Cruise Line vacation would be a fairytale dream come true, creating magical memories that would last a lifetime.

And they were right. Today Disney Cruise Line is acclaimed as the "favorite family-oriented cruise line" by Porthole Cruise Magazine. Part of the reason could be the outstanding onboard entertainment and activities, which Cruise Reports magazine ranks "number one among all resort cruise lines."

Disney Cruise Line specializes in creating magical memories for every age, separately as well as together as a family. As kids and parents who have taken the cruise attest, there is nothing like cruising Disney-style. Where else can 3- to 7-year-old buccaneers board Captain Hook's ship and play games with Disney characters? Young people ages 8 to 12 get to create Disney art, make TV commercials, and conduct experiments like making "flubber."

And there's even a club just for teens offering music and mingling, plus video-making, glow-in-the-dark volleyball, a comedy workshop, dance parties, and raft-building.

Meanwhile, adults enjoy a complete nighttime entertainment district with everything from a dance club with themed nights and game shows to a dueling piano bar. For a relaxing escape, there's an elegant lounge.

Families come together to experience original Disney musical shows, deck parties, and a special family club. Even Goofy joins in the fun, leading a family workout. It's enough to bring a smile to the toughest buccaneer.
