Uncover the Magic of Disney Cruise Line's Newest Ships

For Parents and Kids

Upon entering the Grand Hall of any DCL ship, you're greeted by captivating characters and a magnificent central statue. On the Wish, it's Cinderella, while on the Treasure, Aladdin and Jasmine take center stage on their magic carpet. It's hard to determine which ship is better for families as children and parents have different Disney favorites. Both ships offer the kids-only Disney's Oceaneer Club and It's a Small World Nursery. Additionally, little ones love Scuttle's Cove on Castaway Cay. The stage shows also vary by Disney era. On the Wish, there's The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, while Beauty and the Beast and The Tale of Moana grace the Treasure. However, the Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure restaurant gives the Wish a slight edge due to the popularity of the Frozen films. There's something about the Treasure's vibe that embodies innocence and new beginnings.

The Treasure truly shines when it comes to family entertainment. Its unique offerings and immersive experiences make it a top choice for families. From the moment you step on board, you can feel the magic.

For Child-free Couples

Both the Wish and the Treasure provide adults-only pool areas of similar sizes and kid-free zones on their private islands. Two exclusive adult dining experiences, Enchanté and Palo Steakhouse, are available on both ships. But the ships' vibes differ more than expected. The Treasure feels more adventurous and embodies the "Disney Adult" lifestyle, while the Wish is all about the beauty of what could be. One of the highlights of the Treasure itinerary is the brand-new Choose Wisely! An Indiana Jones Comedy Adventure, which is perfect for a date night and offers a different experience from the usual kids-focused fare.

Child-free couples will find a lot to love on the Treasure. Its adult-focused amenities and unique activities make it a great choice for a romantic getaway.

For Solo Travelers

For solo travelers, the appeal lies in the type of fellow travelers. Each ship offers a variety of activities like game shows, trivia competitions, and crafting sessions to meet other guests. There are also quieter areas where you can enjoy some alone time. A tip for solo travelers is to be strategic with activity timing to avoid crowds. Get to the private island early or take advantage of off-peak times at the pool or water coaster.

Solo travelers will appreciate the flexibility and opportunities for self-discovery on both ships. It's all about finding your own pace and making the most of the cruise experience.

For Disney Movie Buffs

Both the Wish and the Treasure have stunning 1923 restaurants named after the year the Walt Disney Company was founded. They feature original artwork from iconic Disney animated films. The piano lounges also keep the movie spirit alive with décor and drinks inspired by Cinderella and Aristocats. The sweets shops and coffee stands perfectly capture the vibes of films like Inside Out, Zootopia, Mulan, Moana, Pinocchio, and The Sword in the Stone. Both ships also have the Worlds of Marvel restaurant with unique interactive adventures. While the Wish embraces some older films, the Treasure's Plaza de Coco restaurant brings Coco to life with an amazing menu.

Disney movie buffs will be in heaven on both ships. The attention to detail and the immersive movie experiences make for a truly magical journey.

For Disney Parks Enthusiasts

When it comes to lounge/bar theming, the Wish has fun nods to the parks, focusing on telling the story of intellectual property and embracing fairytales like The Princess and the Frog and Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge. The Treasure, on the other hand, really leans into the Disney parks with themed bars and lounges. The Periscope Pub pays homage to the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea attraction at Magic Kingdom, and Skipper Society features elements of the Jungle Cruise ride. But the real winner is the Haunted Mansion Parlor, which fully immerses guests in the atmosphere of the Haunted Mansion ride and offers a variety of spooky beverages and light-and-sound shows.

Disney parks enthusiasts will be delighted by the themed experiences on the Treasure. It's a true celebration of the Disney park spirit.

Of course, there are those who prefer dry land or want to celebrate the holidays at Disney Parks before or after their cruise. There are seasonal offerings like Jollywood Nights at Disney's Hollywood Studios through Dec. 21 and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom through Dec. 20.
