Is there anything better than a Disney cruise?!!
We love them and know you do too! There’s so much to do and experience when you’re on board a Disney cruise, especially for the holidays! And that’s why we’re here. We wanted to give you a couple of reasons why you should definitely take a Disney Christmas cruise the next chance you get!
There are so many reasons to take a Disney Christmas cruise and so little time to talk about it, so let’s run down the list right now!
- They have a SUPER CUTE holiday show that you can’t miss!
- All your favorite characters are dressed in their holiday best!
- There are TONS of decorations all over the place — in all the restaurants, atrium, etc.
- Don’t miss out on those themed treats at Vanellopes!
- This is your opportunity to get some truly EPIC Christmas card photos!
- The decorations aren’t just on the ship. Castaway Cay is decked out for the holidays too! (The decorations and Christmas tree make for excellent tropical-themed Christmas card photos too!)
- If you love Christmas music, it’s EVERYWHERE — even on Castaway Cay!
- How about taking a cruise instead of gift-giving for that year?
- You’ll find that even the Cast Members put you in the Christmas spirit — They even add holiday touches like wintry scarves to their uniforms!
- Storytime with Mrs. Claus. Need we say more??
- This is one of those rare opportunities to get pictures with Santa AND Mrs. Claus at the SAME TIME!!
- You and your family get to wear your Christmas clothes in temperate weather without having to pile on coats and hats.
- Your matching Christmas PJs are totally acceptable at the movie theater onboard. (Where else can you do that?!)
- Popcorn bucket fans this one’s for you. You can find holiday popcorn buckets onboard!
- You can meet Belle in her gorgeous holiday dress!
- Do you love gingerbread houses? Then you’ll flip over the giant gingerbread house in the ship’s atrium!
- This is THE place to find unique gifts for those back home (in a cruise port).
Happy Holidays! Stay tuned to DFB for more!

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. We were invited by Disney Cruise Line to attend their media preview of the Very Merrytime Cruise on the Disney Dream. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.
