A Disney Cruise Vacation Is For The Whole Family

Think of Walt Disney and you think of theme parks, Mickey Mouse and generally everything related to kids. Perhaps now would be the time to be rid of that image and look into a Disney cruise vacation.

Disney has a couple of cruise ships that were built with families in mind. There's areas set up for toddlers, smaller children, teenagers and adults. Everyone will be entertained with Disney's famous world class entertainment. Worried about what's happening with your kids while you're on a different part of the ship? No problem. Disney provides pagers for parents. Even honeymooning couples will love the trip.

The first two ships Disney launched were the Disney Magic in 1998 and the Disney Wonder in 1999. Both have well over 850 rooms and they are basically the same in both features and designs. You can book your Disney cruise vacation for up to 7 nights and sail to different locations in the Caribbean. Leaving from Florida's Port Canaveral, you'll stop at the Disney owned island in the Bahamas called Castaway Cay. This is an exclusive area set up for passengers as well as crew members to get a little R & R. And if you don't want to miss out on the Walt Disney World Resort experience, you can even include a stay at the theme park in you package.

The actual ships will of course promote all your favorite Disney characters and themes, but the design is much like the famed luxury transatlantic lines of history. It's very nostalgic. And the ship is much like a little city with everything you could possible desire. There are many restaurante, all with different themes including one for adults only. Of course there's shopping, salons, spas, movie theaters (with Disney movies naturally), pools and different places to go for entertainment.

There's also play areas for the kids. The one on the Disney Wonder is called the Oceaneer's Club. Designed with a Peter Pan theme. It includes things like a climbing area, computers and storytelling sessions. Aloft is an area set up for teens. Here you'll find TV's, games, mp3's and more. What you'll find on a Disney cruise vacation is all the latest technology combined with a classic design.

The newest additions to Disney cruise vacations is a Mediterranean cruise. The sights on this one should be amazing. You launch from Barcelona, Spain, and stop in Palermo, Sicily as well as Naples Italy, Marseilles France, and a couple of spots in the Canary Islands including Gibraltar and Tenerife. Look for more expansion on this hugely successful Disney franchise in the future. And since Disney typically does everything big, it won't be long before a Disney cruise vacation is one of the most sought after cruise vacations around.
