As the sun sets on the first night of every Very Merrytime sailing, passengers will gather in the ship’s grand atrium for a dazzling tree-lighting ceremony. Join Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy as they invite everyone to sing along to timeless holiday tunes. The highlight of the ceremony is a countdown that transforms the magnificent three-deck-tall tree into a beacon of merriment and also welcomes the guest of honor, none other than Santa Claus himself.

Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, another brand-new experience on these special sailings, will invite families to the upper decks for a one-of-a-kind celebration at sea filled with good tidings and cheer. This high-energy deck party – thrown by Mickey and Minnie – will feature favorite Disney friends as they celebrate friendship, love, and family with a fresh mix of classic and original holiday songs during this special time of year.

From bow to stern, the Disney Cruise Line decks will be adorned with the holiday spirit during the Very Merrytime cruises. Guests can delight in spotting their favorite Disney characters donning brand-new holiday attire, adding an extra touch of cheer to the already enchanting atmosphere. Moreover, a plethora of themed activities designed for the whole family will be available, ensuring that the holiday magic extends to every member of your travel party.

Disney Cruise Line has carefully curated a selection of sailings from Florida and California to ensure that everyone can experience the wonder of the holidays at sea. The Disney Dream will embark on four- and five-night Very Merrytime cruises from its new home in Fort Lauderdale, whisking guests away to tropical destinations in the western Caribbean and Bahamas.

The Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy will continue sailing from Port Canaveral to The Bahamas and Caribbean, offering guests a chance to embrace the holiday spirit in the most magical way possible.

The Disney Magic will set sail from San Diego, delighting passengers with holiday sailings to Baja and the Mexican Riviera before concluding the season with Very Merrytime cruises to the western Caribbean from Galveston, Texas.
