With its maiden voyage set for March 10, 2026, the Disney Adventure from Disney Cruise Line is all geared up to take passengers on a magical Disney experience out at sea. 

From first-of-its-kind Disney attractions and entertainment, to seven unique Disney-themed areas, artfully designed staterooms, and casual to extravagant dining experiences, the ship’s offerings have been conceptualised to bring to life Disney’s fantastical worlds and beloved characters with personalised luxury, service and convenience for guests throughout their journey. 

Here is a sample four-day itinerary for a family with children to get the best experience on board:

Pre-trip planning 

The journey begins with selecting from 2,111 staterooms: 543 inside, 85 with ocean views, 1,326 with verandahs, and 157 concierge rooms, all featuring Disney, Pixar, or Marvel-inspired artwork. All rooms offer convenience with separate shower and toilet areas, elevated beds with space for luggage storage beneath, and 24-hour complimentary room service.

Concierge guests enjoy personalised pre-boarding services, exclusive lounges, and private spa rooms. On board, staff can assist with crafting personal itineraries, celebrating special occasions, in-suite dining and more.  

For ultimate luxury, two Frozen-inspired royal suites feature spacious living and dining areas, kids’ rooms, private verandahs with whirlpools, and two ensuite bathrooms.

Those eagerly awaiting their trip can download the Navigator App to plan and add the experiences they want to have onboard ahead of their sail date.

Day 1: Step into a whole new world

With excitement high on the first day, dive right into three brand new Disney attractions at Marvel Landing: Ironcycle Test Run, the longest rollercoaster at sea inspired by Tony Stark’s Ironcycle prototype; Pym Quantum Racers, where guests zip around a track inspired by the car chase scene in Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man and The Wasp, and Groot Galaxy Spin, a Guardians of the Galaxy-themed adventure.

Guests can also explore Disney Imagination Garden, an open-air space with landscapes inspired by Disney, Pixar, and Marvel characters, and its storybook castle showpiece. Nearby, the Garden Stage boasts three-deck-high LED screens and ample viewing options for performances throughout the day.

After expending all that energy, it’s time to refuel. The Disney Adventure offers rotational dining, the cruise line’s signature dining concept where guests experience one distinct dining experience each day over three days, following a schedule included with their booking. Each family will be accompanied by one service team, who will learn their preferences and be able to make recommendations, throughout their voyage.

Dinner will be served at two assigned seatings, at either the Navigator’s Club or Hollywood Spotlight Club where they will get to interact with and see appearances by well-loved Disney characters.

Day 2: Splashing good time 

Start the day at Toy Story Place, a whimsical water park inspired by the Toy Story movies. Explore the Flying Saucer Splash Zone with green Aliens and ride Woody and Jessie’s Wild Slides. Little ones can play at the Toy Story Splash Pad!.

In the afternoon, relax at the Walt Disney Theater in Town Square with two Broadway-style productions, Remember, specially created for this ship, and Disney Seas the Adventure. Adults and kids can also enjoy shows at Royal Court with appearances by Disney characters or join interactive activities or karaoke at the family-friendly D Lounge.

At night, you will get to dine at an animation restaurant — Animator’s Palate or Animator’s Table. Each offers an interactive experience where guests can make sketches and watch them come to life amid animations of Disney and Pixar stories. 

Day 3: From action-packed fun to entertaining afternoons  

Enjoy family fun at San Fransokyo Street, inspired by Big Hero 6. Play games at the Big Hero Arcade, test your skills at the Hiro Training Zone simulator, or compete in arcade games. Baymax Cinemas screens Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm movies, including same-day premieres on land. 

After the indoor activities, unwind outdoors at Wayfinder Bay, inspired by Moana. Relax by the pool while enjoying live shows and interactive events, including the musical Moana: Call of the Sea.

For your third rotational dining experience, you will be placed at either the Enchanted Summer Restaurant, a cosy village dining hall inspired by Tangled and Frozen, or Pixar Market Restaurant, which celebrates Pixar films.

Day 4: Something for all ages

Adults and children have their own exclusive experiences to enjoy on board. 

Parents can drop their children off at the various kids clubs — Disney’s Oceaneer Club, Vibe or Edge, staffed by trained counsellors for peace of mind before heading off to enjoy on their own. Meanwhile, it’s a small world nursery offers babysitting services for those aged six months to three years. 

The spa is exclusive only to adults, so be sure to indulge in its beauty and wellness treatments to refresh and rejuvenate. For an upscale dining experience, head for Palo Trattoria, an adults-only Italian restaurant. For drinks, the Buccaneer Bar streams live sports events, while Tiana’s Bayou Lounge serves craft cocktails amid New Orleans-style hospitality.

The inaugural season of the Disney Adventure will offer three-night and four-night cruises, with limited dates for 5-night itineraries. Bookings open today, December 10. Visit Disney Cruise Line to secure your next adventure.
