A Disney Cruise offers luxury, immersive Disney theming, the best kids clubs at sea, world-class entertainment and culinary adventures to please the palate.

Dine with the characters from Coco and Guardians of the Galaxy; grab a cocktail from the Haunted Mansion-themed bar and lounge; watch a Broadway-style performance of Moana; and take a ride down the Aquamouse, a thrilling water attraction at sea! Captain Mickey is ready to welcome you onboard.

Utopia of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s brand new Oasis class ship that sails out of Port Canaveral. Yes, we are all about the vacations that are new for you this year! They call it the “World’s Biggest Weekend” because it’s the second largest ship in the world and the itineraries are 3 and 4 night sailings. Big ship + short sailings = the perfect fit for your family’s quick getaway! Want to learn more about this ship and the punch it packs into a weekend sailing?
