Select sailings beginning in November and continuing through the end of the year will feature the annual holiday celebration aboard Disney Cruise Line’s fleet. Guests departing from Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale, Galveston, and San Diego can experience beautifully decorated ships filled with sparkling lights, oversized Christmas trees, gingerbread displays, and seasonal décor from bow to stern.

The holiday festivities go far beyond decorations. Guests can enjoy Mickey and Minnie’s Merrytime Tree Lighting, festive deck parties featuring Disney characters dressed in their holiday best, themed crafts and activities for kids and families, visits with Santa Claus, exclusive holiday merchandise, and seasonal food and beverage offerings throughout the voyage. Disney Cruise Line favorites like Broadway-style entertainment, rotational dining, complimentary soft-serve ice cream, and nearly endless hot chocolate are all still part of the experience, with an extra sprinkle of Christmas magic added to every day.

The holiday spirit even follows guests ashore. Both Disney Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point receive festive seasonal touches, including tropical Christmas trees and island-inspired holiday décor that blend Caribbean sunshine with Christmas cheer.

Disney also encourages guests to pack matching holiday pajamas for festive family photos, keep an eye on the Disney Cruise Line Navigator app so they don’t miss special events, and take advantage of the many cozy spots throughout the ships to enjoy hot cocoa while soaking in the atmosphere.
