Which Disney Western Caribbean Cruise Should You Choose?

Fancy The Fantasy

Now you know all the dates and the possibilities you may be overwhelmed and not know which Disney Western Caribbean cruise to book. There are some questions that you can ask yourself to narrow it down so that you can make a choice.

Probably the first question that you need to ask yourself is, how flexible are you with your Disney cruise dates? Most people have a limited time frame that they can travel, so you need to look at this question first to see if this rules out any of the options.

Which port is it easier for your family to sail from? If you are combining a Disney cruise with a visit to Walt Disney World you will most likely want to sail from Port Canaveral as this is an easy transfer from the parks. However, if you live in the Western United States, Galveston may be easier to get to and start your cruise. Some people may also find Miami a better option for them.

Another very important question is which Disney ship do you want to sail on? They all have their own special personalities and features.

The newest ship is the Disney Fantasy. It has the Aquaduck which is a huge draw for many people.

It is the biggest ship and many would say that the Fantasy is the best. The Disney Fantasy also has the largest choice of dates for your vacation. The Fantasy has the most 7 night Western Caribbean sailings of all of the Disney ships.

The Water Cannon

To read more about the Aquaduck here is our guide:

Disney Fantasy Aquaduck

However, you may want to sail on one of the classic ships – either the Disney Magic or the Disney Wonder.

We love the Disney Fantasy, but always see the Disney Wonder as our “first love”. The Magic and the Wonder are smaller than the newer ships, but in some ways, we prefer this.

Both the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder are recently re-imagined and so have a number of new features.

Take some time to read about the different ships to see which you think would be best for you and your family.

Price is, of course, a very important factor in deciding which Disney Caribbean cruise to choose. The Disney Fantasy tends to be more money per person per night than the Magic and the Wonder.

disneyshipsandiego

This is very much a generalization and will depend upon which sailing you choose and how far ahead you book.

However, the lower fares are generally found on the classic ships of the Disney Wonder and Magic. This may be the deciding factor for you.

The next question is do you have a particular port stop that you want to see? Most of the itineraries include the same port stops, but there are variations.

If you are set on going to Key West Florida, your choices are going to be pretty limited as only the February 11th, 2018 sailing on the Disney Wonder has this port stop on a Western Caribbean sailing.

Most of the other choices are going to be rather easier for you as most of the sailings go to the same ports. It really doesn’t tend to matter which ports are in which order.

You need to ask yourself all these questions so that you can narrow down your choice and then decide upon the perfect Disney Caribbean cruise.

Which Stateroom Should You Choose for Your Disney Western Caribbean Cruise?

disneycruisestateroom

This is a very important decision because this will determine the cost of your Disney Western Caribbean cruise.

We have sailed in many different categories of stateroom on the Disney ships and we would say that we haven’t found that our level of enjoyment was directly proportional to the category of the stateroom we chose!

We have been just as happy in an Oceanview Stateroom as we have in the Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah.

Of course, it is nice to have a balcony and some extra space, but we think the Disney cruise staterooms are comfortable and spacious.

If you don’t want to spend that extra money on a larger stateroom and you think that your family can survive in a small space for 7 nights we think that you should go for the category that you can comfortably fit into your budget.

We have written a comprehensive guide to staterooms on the Disney Fantasy and you can find that by clicking on the link below:

Isn’t A Disney Caribbean Cruise Just For Kids?

A Quiet Night at Quiet Cove

We know that it is a very common misconception that Disney cruises are just for kids. They really aren’t.

Anyone who is already a fan of the Disney parks is probably already convinced that they can have fun, even as a grown-up on a Disney cruise. Disney brings out the child in all of us and that is a big part of the appeal.

However, Disney cruise lines have made very sure that they appeal to the adults as well as to the children. They have dedicated spaces and entertainment on the Disney ships which are meant just for the adults.

All of the ships have a very large amount of space and facilities which are childfree. The Disney Fantasy, in particular, has a huge amount of space which is for the adults only. The pool deck spaces are a sanctuary for adults looking for child-free time.

Still not convinced? If you want to bring back the romance in your life check out our guide:

What Makes a Disney Western Caribbean Cruise Worth It?

disneytransatlanticcruise

We think that Disney cruises offer amazing value for money. Of course, we know that their basic price per night is more than many other cruise lines.

However, we really do go by the saying “You get what you pay for”.

We have sailed on many other cruise lines and we still rate Disney the highest by a long way. This is not just because we are Disney fans, but because their cruises just offer a much higher quality of experience.

There are a number of important differences which we think makes Disney a much better value than other cruise lines. Here are some of the reasons which we think sets Disney apart.

Disney Cruise Ship Entertainment

Disneywondertheater

Disney knows how to put on a very impressive show. You will experience Broadway-quality shows and this is all included in your cruise price. We know of no other cruise line which even comes close to this.

Of course, these are all Disney themed and if you are not a fan of the Mouse you will probably not enjoy the shows.

However, who is going on a Disney cruise who really isn’t a fan of Disney? If you even have a passing interest in the House of Mouse you will be impressed by the shows.

All of the Disney cruise ships have their own shows. If we had to pick a cruise ship with our favorite shows we would pick the Disney Wonder as it has “Golden Mickeys” and the new “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular”.

However, it is really difficult to choose a winner as all the Disney ships have amazing stage shows.

The Disney Magic has a number of stage shows including the newest “Disney Tangled: The Musical” and the always popular “Disney Dreams – An Enchanted Classic”.

The Disney Fantasy favorites include “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular”, which is also on the Disney Wonder.

Really Disney excels at the big production shows. No one comes close. Think about how much it would cost if you took your family of 4 to a Broadway Disney show.

You would not have change from $500 so we think of that as part of the value of a Disney cruise. It really is an excellent value for entertainment.

The Buena Vista Theater also shows a lot of great Disney movies. If there is a Disney premier it will be shown on the ship.

You can see classic Disney movies as well as new releases in this very comfortable setting. Again, if you think about how much a trip to the movies would be for your family. This all adds great value to a Disney Caribbean cruise.

Disney Cruise Dining

disneydreamfood

No one does it quite like Disney with the dining concept either. We admit that the food can be hit and miss. This actually seems to be the norm these days on most cruise lines as the standard of food declines.

However, what we really love about Disney cruise lines is Disney rotational dining . What this means is that you get to experience three different restaurants at least once, and you take your wait staff with you.

The rotational dining experience is unique to Disney cruises. We think it is genius. Instead of going to the same restaurant every evening on your cruise you get to “rotate”.

disneymagicfood

In other words, you go to a different restaurant every evening. As you can imagine, Disney restaurants are the most imaginative at sea.

Where else can you draw a figure and then see it animated on the wall at the end of your meal?

Animators Palate is one of the highest-rated restaurants on the Disney ships. If you sail on the Disney Fantasy you can even have a conversation with Finding Nemo’s Crush Turtle whilst you eat your meal.

The attention to detail in all of the Disney cruise restaurants is amazing. It is more than a place to dine. It is an immersive experience.

The attention to detail in all of the Disney cruise restaurants is outstanding. The food is sometimes very good. Other times it is a miss.

However, as an overall experience, you will look forward to dining in the rotational restaurants on your Disney cruise.

The best thing is that the food is all included in your basic Disney cruise rate.

Sure, you can upgrade to one of the Disney adult restaurants if you want a treat – they are really very good for a reasonable upcharge. However, the included dining is going to be more than enough.

disneywondertritonsrestaurant

Another great thing about Disney cruise rotational dining? The service. Your wait staff will follow you to each restaurant.

The great thing about this is that they get to know you very quickly. They are the best waiters we have ever experienced at sea. They get to know what you need and so you will arrive on your second day to your favorite drinks.

Nothing is too much trouble for your server and almost without exception (yes we have seen one bad waiter out of many) they will look after you as though they are family. We have never experienced that on any other cruise line apart from Disney.

Disney Castaway Cay

Disney's Human Element - Chase the Oasis

Castaway Cay is Disney’s private island in the Bahamas. It is paradise. There are no tender boats to get on the island.

Disney thought of everything and built a dock so that you can step right off the ship and on to the island. That kind of fundamental detail makes a very big difference from the very start.

They have pretty much thought of everything on Castaway Cay. There are separate idyllic beaches for the family as well as having a separate adult-only and supervised kids only beach.

You can not spend anything on Castaway Cay if you don’t want to. You simply walk off the ship and go to the beach.

Sure, you can spend money on activities, but you really don’t need to. A buffet lunch is provided and is included in your cruise fare.

Disney - Welcome to Paradise

All of the beaches are idyllic. The white sand and the incredibly pleasant ocean are all designed so that you have the ultimate island experience.

Cruisers consistently rate their experience on Castaway Cay as the highlight of their cruise. Other cruise lines have private islands, but none comes close to offering the Castway Cay experience .

Disney Characters

disneycruisecharacters

A Disney cruise is a great opportunity to see Disney characters. It is so much more of an immersive experience than at the parks. It is somehow exciting every time Mickey Mouse passes you in the corridor.

There are lots of scheduled character greetings each day. There are lines, but it is so much easier to see the Disney characters than it is in the parks.

Disney Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party

Disneycruiseplaceholder

This is another very unique Disney cruise experience – The Pirates in the Caribbean Deck Party. This is a whole lot of fun on your Disney cruise. The evening starts with a pirate-themed dinner in your rotational dining restaurant. Everyone is encouraged to join in the pirate fun. Some guests dress up as pirates and of course, there is plenty of pirate merchandise for you to purchase on the ship.

Captain Jack Sparrow and Mickey Mouse are an unusual, but highly entertaining combination. At the end of the deck party, the highlight is the fireworks which appear high in the sky at the side of the ship.

Disney is the only cruise line authorized to have a firework display on a ship. The end of the evening is a very lavish buffet – it is worth seeing the display even if you have had so much food during the day that you simply cannot have anymore!

Disney Kids Clubs

disneycruisekidsclubs

As you would expect, Disney cruises do this very well. There are kids clubs for every specific age group up to the age of 17.

Disney is one of the very few cruise lines with a babysitting service for the under 3s. The baby and toddler babysitting service does have a nominal extra charge, but everything else is free.

The kids themed spaces are excellent, with lots of organized activities for the kids. You will probably have a problem getting your kids out of the kid’s clubs!

A Disney Cruise is For Adults Too

disneywonderbars

When you think Disney cruises you tend to think that it’s all about the kids. Whilst it is true that there are many things to keep the kids happy, Disney definitely thought just as much about keeping the adults entertained as the young ones.

Every ship has an adults only area where the grown-ups can be child-free for a while. This takes up a lot of space on each of the ships, particularly the Disney Fantasy.

There is also adults only dining available. Palo is on all of the Disney cruise ships. For a small extra charge, you can enjoy a fabulous brunch or dinner.

Appetizer at Remy's

The newer Disney Dream and Fantasy have the multiple award-winning gourmet restaurant, Remy, to keep the adults very happy. For an extra charge, you can enjoy Michelin 3-star restaurant quality food and service.

If you want to know more about what a great job Disney cruises do in making adults feel just as special as the children you can read our guide at:

Is A Disney Western Caribbean Cruise Worth It?

disneycruiseworthit

In our opinion, we absolutely think that it is. It is pretty obvious that we are huge Disney fans. However, this is not the only reason why we would choose a Disney Western Caribbean cruise over any other cruise line.

We are seasoned cruise travelers and we admit that we sail on non-Disney cruises. This is because we love the cruise experience and to be honest, many other cruise lines cost less than Disney.

However, given the choice between one Disney Western Caribbean cruise and two cruises with a rival cruise line we would choose Disney. Why? Because they are just of a higher standard.

When you have limited vacation time, as most of us do, you need to choose your experiences carefully. For us, Disney cruises win every time. We are careful where our cruise dollars go, but for us, Disney cruises win every time.

The Disney Fantasy Western Caribbean Cruise is our first choice. What about you? Let us know if you are thinking of your first Disney Western Caribbean Cruise or are already a veteran of the Disney cruise experience.

Disney Cruises in 2026: Sail Dates, Itineraries, and Ports

2026 promises a full slate of Disney Cruises both close to home and around the world — but your own options might be limited by school commitments and work schedules. And if you have your heart set on a specific itinerary , ship, or port , you’ll need to know exactly when it’s offered.

To help you narrow down your choices, we’ve compiled this convenient reference guide that combines all of the currently-released information for 2026 into a single page.

We’ll begin with a brief overview of where each Disney Cruise Ship will be located throughout the year and the type of cruises each will be providing. This section is best for those who are trying to find a particular kind of cruise, a certain ship, or a port they can drive to rather than fly.

Then, we have a day-by-day Disney Cruise Calendar for each month of the year, especially handy if your vacation weeks are already set and you need to find a cruise that matches. This is the place to see a list of every Disney Cruise announced for 2026.

Whether 2026 marks your first Disney Cruise or the year you finally hit the highest Castaway Club level , our comprehensive 2026 Disney Cruise guide won’t steer you wrong.

Have Questions About 2026 Disney Cruises? Vacationeers Are Standing By!

Where Will the Disney Ships Be In 2026?

Here’s a quick overview at what’s planned so far. To see specific cruise itineraries and sail dates , look at the monthly entries further down this page.

So far, Disney has only announced cruises for the first few months of 2026 . Here’s what we know so far:

Disney Adventure

2026 is expected to be the first full year of operation for the Disney Adventure, a behemoth new Disney Cruise ship being built on the frame of the former Golden Dream.

Disney has not yet announced specific itineraries or sailing schedules for this ship, but it will be sailing out of Singapore for the foreseeable future. We expect it will offer cruises geared toward the Asia market throughout 2026.

Disney Destiny

The Disney Destiny is another new cruise ship, currently under construction, and also expected to be fully operational by 2026. It will be a sister ship to the Disney Treasure and Disney Wish.

We do not yet know where it will be based or what types of itineraries it will offer. It is possible  — but not confirmed — that it will sail from one of the home ports in  Florida , as Disney has historically placed its newest ships there for their first few years.

Disney Dream

Here’s what’s been announced so far for Disney Dream sailings in 2026:

  • January through early May:  Bahamian Cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
  • May 2, 2026 and beyond: Not yet announced

Disney Fantasy

Here are the 2026 Disney Fantasy sail dates announced so far:

  • January through early June: Bahamian cruises from  Port Canaveral, Florida
  • June 3, 2026 and beyond: Not yet announced

Disney Magic

Disney has announced the following 2026 plans for the Disney Magic cruise ship :

  • January through early April: Caribbean cruises from  Galveston, Texas
  • Early April: Panama Canal cruise from Galveston to San Diego
  • April 19, 2026 and Beyond: Not yet announced

In the past, the ship has also called on  New Orleans, Louisiana  and San Juan, Puerto Rico ; It’s not yet clear whether that will be the case at any point in 2026

Disney Treasure

The Disney Treasure cruise ship follows a very simple sailing schedule, at least for the early part of the year:

  • January through Early June: Caribbean Cruises from Port Canaveral,  Florida
  • June 6, 2026 and Beyond: Not yet announced

Disney Wish

The Disney Wish promises (so far, at least) a very straightforward 2026 sailing schedule:

  • January through Early June: Bahamian Cruises from Port Canaveral, FL
  • June 1, 2026 and Beyond: Not yet announced

Disney Wonder

The Disney Wonder cruise ship is typically most widely-traveled in the fleet, spanning two hemispheres.

  • January: Australia and New Zealand Cruises from Sydney
  • February: a series of one-way cruises, including a South Pacific cruise (Sydney to Honolulu), Hawaiian cruise (Honolulu to Vancouver), and Pacific Coast cruise (Vancouver to San Diego)
  • March through early May: Baja and Mexican Riviera Cruises from San Diego
  • May 7, 2026 and Beyond: Not yet announced

The ship traditionally relocates to Vancouver in May to begin a summer full of  Alaska Cruises , but nothing has been announced for 2026 just yet.

When Does Disney Release Its 2026 Cruises?

Disney Cruises are typically released in three phases throughout the year, though for 2026 Disney surprised us by releasing some 2026 sail dates much earlier than usual.

Here’s what’s been released so far and when we expect the remainder to be released:

  • Disney Adventure sail dates : not yet announced and unclear when they will be announced
  • Disney Destiny sail dates : not yet announced and unclear when they will be announced
  • Disney Dream sail dates for January 2026 through April 2026: were released in June 2024 (early release; originally expected around October 2024)
  • Disney Fantasy sail dates for January 2026 through May 2026: were released in June 2024 (early release; originally expected around October 2024)
  • Disney Magic sail dates for January 2026 through mid-April 2026: were released in June 2024 (early release; originally expected around October 2024)
  • Disney Treasure sail dates for January 2026 through May 2026: were released in June 2024 (early release; originally expected around October 2024)
  • Disney Wonder sail dates for January 2026 through Early May 2026: were released in June 2024 (early release; originally expected around October 2024)
  • Phase 2 — Travel dates for Summer 2026 and early Fall 2026: Normally would be released around March 2025 (but perhaps the schedule will be accelerated based on the early announcement of Phase 1 cruises?)
  • Phase 3 — Travel dates for Fall 2026 through the end of December 2026: Expected to be released around June-July 2025 (but perhaps the schedule will be accelerated given the early announcement of Phase 1 cruises?)

Further complicating the 2026 cruise release schedule is the expected launch of a series of new Disney Cruise ships in rapid succession. The Disney Adventure and Disney Destiny should both be in operation by 2026, but sail dates for those ships will clearly be announced separately from the regular cadence of itinerary releases for the rest of the fleet.

Now let’s take a look at the Disney Cruises setting sail each month of 2026. Below, we’ve listed the first day of each cruise departure currently scheduled to occur in 2026. Dates which show “none” indicate days on which no cruises are currently scheduled to begin their voyages.

We have omitted cruises that aren’t open to the general public, such as short no-passenger relocation voyages or privately-chartered sailings such as the Disney Vacation Club Member Cruise.

The 7 Best Cruises from Florida to Book Now

F lorida ports serve as the embarkation point for more cruises than anywhere else in the world. The best cruises from Florida-particularly out of Miami, Port Everglades (in Fort Lauderdale), and Port Canaveral (near Orlando)-make it easy to visit islands throughout the Caribbean as well as destinations further abroad.

In addition to serving as the launching point for numerous blissful sailings, Florida provides cruise passengers with the option of tacking on a few days at the beach or some time at the theme parks, making it an idyllic place to start or end your next cruise.

While the Caribbean is by far the most popular destination for cruises from Florida, sailings through the Panama Canal (typically in spring and fall) and longer winter sailings such as multimonth world cruises and itineraries to South America also embark from Florida ports. Some routes travel from Florida up the Eastern Seaboard to Canada and across the Atlantic as cruise ships reposition for the spring and summer to the Mediterranean.

Here are our picks for the best cruises from Florida.

1. Western Caribbean with Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Suggested itinerary: 10-day "Heavenly Sunsets" itinerary in February 2025, from $6,299 per person (fares include unlimited excursions and round-trip airfare)

On Regent Seven Seas Cruises' recently launched "world's most luxurious" ship, the 746-passenger Seven Seas Grandeur , passengers cruise in high style-and with such extravagant accoutrements as a 1,600-piece art collection-from Miami to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands. On the all-balcony, all-suite ship, check out the Picassos and the enameled, 18-karat white-gold Fabergé egg created especially for the ship (the only permanent Fabergé egg at sea)-that is, when you're not indulging in included fine dining and beverages at venues such as a steak house, a French restaurant, and an Asian-fusion outpost. The onboard Culinary Arts Kitchen provides hands-on classes from pro chefs. During a port visit in Port Royal, Jamaica, a Bob Marley Cultural Experience shore excursion visits the famed musician's former home and the museum's One Love Café (there's bound to be an uptick in interest fueled by a new movie about Bob Marley, One Love , that debuts this month).

2. Circumnavigate South America with Cunard

Suggested itinerary: 52-night "South America Discovery" cruise in January 2025, from $9,405 per person

Next January, Cunard Line's 2,061-passenger Queen Victoria will spend nearly two months circumnavigating South America round-trip from Fort Lauderdale, for a true "wow" factor cruise. The sailing will bring guests to Caribbean countries, including Turks and Caicos, Barbados, Aruba, and the Bahamas, in between visits to several ports in Brazil (with an overnight in Rio); Uruguay; Argentina (with an overnight in Buenos Aires); around Cape Horn, Chile (including views of the PIO X and Amalia glaciers); Peru (with an overnight in Callao near Lima); Ecuador; and through the Panama Canal. On board the ship, dress up for a glitzy gala complete with a live big band in the Queens Room ballroom, play darts in the Golden Lion Pub, and sip the cruise line's extensive cocktail selection at the Gin & Fizz bar in the dramatic multilevel Grand Lobby.

3. Immersive Caribbean cruise with Azamara

Suggested itinerary: 14-night "Eastern Caribbean Voyage" in November 2024, from $2,423 per person

Spend Thanksgiving on Azamara Cruises' more intimate 680-passenger Azamara Onward while visiting 10 Caribbean countries in two weeks. The comprehensive sweep through the islands embarks in Miami and sails to the Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Kitts and Nevis, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua, and the British Virgin Islands (Virgin Gorda). That's a lot of countries to check off your lifetime list. The Azamara roster also has shorter and longer sailings. Embrace the ship's social, country club–like atmosphere, and indulge in treats such as a classic martini and filet mignon at the Prime C steak house. On shore, book excursions to slide and swim the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua while in Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, and see the creative side of St. Maarten on an island art tour. Complimentary AzAmazing Celebrations highlight local culture, such as a Bajan carnival event featuring a traditional drumming Tuk band on Barbados.

4. Eco-friendly Central America sailing with HX Expeditions

Suggested itinerary: 11-night "Tropical Waters and Remote Island Communities in the Caribbean" cruise in September 2024, from $3,909 per person

HX Expeditions (formerly Hurtigruten Expeditions) is sailing its 500-passenger Roald Amundsen from Miami to Colon, Panama, visiting remote island communities along the way. As you explore Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Panama, you'll spend time in UNESCO-protected nature areas such as the Belize Barrier Reef, Colombia's Seaflower Biosphere Reserve, where you may spot iguanas and electric blue lizards, and Panama's Coiba National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. There's also the opportunity to snorkel around Panama's Zapatilla Island, which was featured on the TV show Survivor . The ship features an infinity pool and further impresses by lowering its carbon footprint with hybrid-electric engines that allow it to run for several hours on batteries.

5. Family-friendly Mexican Caribbean cruise on ‘Disney Treasure'

Suggested itinerary: 7-night western Caribbean cruises , from $6,973 for an adult and two kids sharing a cabin

The big news out of Disney Cruise Line in 2024 is the December arrival of the 4,000-passenger Disney Treasure , the sixth ship in the fleet, which will be running on cleaner-burning liquified natural gas and cruising the Eastern and Western Caribbean. If you have youngsters who are fans of the Disney Pixar animated feature Coco , the sailing in the Western Caribbean is the way to go. From Port Canaveral, sail for seven nights to Mexico, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and the cruise line's own Bahamas island CocoCay. The ship has a Coco -themed restaurant inspired by the movie and its characters. And the Coco theme continues on the Mexican island Cozumel, where a chocolate tasting and workshop is paired with hands-on learning about alebrije , fantastical folk-art sculptures and the inspiration for Dante, Miguel's spirit guide in the film. Adult-only areas of the ship include a Haunted Mansion–themed bar based on the Disney theme parks' attraction.

6. Choose-your-own Caribbean adventure with Explora Journeys

Suggested itinerary: 7-night A Journey from Miami to San Juan itinerary, from $4,050 per person; or 14 nights from $7,650 per person

The recently launched Switzerland-based luxury line Explora Journeys, with its resortlike ships Explora I and the upcoming Explora II each carrying about 740 passengers, cleverly does nonrepeating seven-night Caribbean itineraries, so depending on how much time you have, you can cruise for a week and fly home from the Caribbean or stay on board another week and return to Miami, without repeating ports of call. For example, sail from Miami to San Juan in Puerto Rico and visit Anguilla, Saint Martin (Marigot), Guadeloupe, and Dominica and fly home-or stay on for the next cruise and add St. Barth's, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, and the British Virgin Island (Virgin Gorda). The ships are posh playgrounds designed for couples and multigenerational families, with four pools (one for adults only), activities such as pickleball, 18 restaurants and lounges, and a cushy club for kids ages 6 to 17.

We recently reviewed what it's like sailing on the Explora I .

7. Eastern Seaboard and Canada with Viking

Suggested itinerary: 15-night "Canada & the Atlantic Coastline" itinerary in April 2024, from $11,295 per person

Viking sails from Fort Lauderdale to Toronto as its state-of-the-art, 378-passenger expedition ships, Viking Polaris in April 2024 and Viking Octantis in April 2025, reposition from Antarctica to the Great Lakes for the summer season. On this itinerary, you'll spend time in Charleston, New York, Quebec City, and Norfolk, Virginia, while visiting wild areas along the Canadian coastline. That might include kayaking or hiking Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island, searching for seals and birdlife on uninhabited Brion Island, exploring the rugged beauty of Trois-Rivieres in Quebec, or sailing through the legendary lochs and canals of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The ships, with their sleek Scandinavian decor, are designed to combine traditional cruising and expedition adventures, with guests boarding Zodiac boats from an enclosed marina, called the Hangar. A pair of six-passenger submarines allow for underwater views.

Added bonus: You can spend some time exploring Florida destinations like Miami before or after your sailing.

How my family of 4 spent $10,000 on a Caribbean cruise — and what we'll cut next time even though we had a blast

  • My family of four splurged on a seven-night Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy .
  • We stayed in an inexpensive class of stateroom, but paid $7,000+ to cruise during spring break.
  • We didn't watch our onboard spending and money spent on excursions, which quickly added up. 

Insider Today

My family of four – my husband, two teens, and myself – sailed on the Disney Fantasy this spring. Our cruise was seven nights and left from Port Canaveral , Florida, near Orlando.

Our ship stopped in Grand Cayman, Falmouth, Jamaica, Cozumel, Mexico, and Disney's island, Castaway Cay . This was our first time sailing on the Fantasy and our ninth Disney cruise.

Our trip cost just over $10,000. Perhaps surprisingly, this is on par with the higher end of what a family can expect to spend on a seven-night Caribbean cruise: about $270 to $2,600 a person .

Here's a rough look at what we spent:

Cruise: $7,300 (includes interior room, meals, and entertainment)

Excursions: $1,160

Alcohol: $334

Bingo: $152

Here's the value we felt we got and what we might do differently next time.

We got the cheapest room type but would've saved by sailing at a different time of year

Even though we stayed in the cheapest stateroom category — interior cabins — our cruise was still pricey because we sailed during spring break.

We could've saved $3,000 on the cruise if we'd went in September, which is during hurricane season and while school is in session for our kids. In the end, we couldn't justify our sons missing that week of school.

Related stories

Sadly, there's not much getting around this cost in the next few years. It's hard for us to travel during cheaper times since cruises almost always cost more during spring break, summertime, and over the winter holidays when most kids are out of school.

I don't regret our WiFi or bingo budgets

We bought an intermediate WiFi package for $490 and spent $152 on bingo.

We don't usually spend money on WiFi while cruising, but decided to get a package since this was a longer sailing . This allowed my kids to play their online games at night and me to keep an eye on my inbox.

No one was glued to their device, and even though this was quite a chunk of change, I'd consider it again for a longer cruise like this one.

The bingo turned out to be an OK investment since we won $145 and almost broke even. We usually play at least one round of bingo and usually don't win much, but my kids enjoy it, and it's something we do as a family.

Still, excursions, spa treatments, and drinks added up

We booked excursions in Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Cozumel, and my husband and I had a couple's massage on the beach at Castaway Cay.

We didn't book super elaborate excursions, but costs added up for four people. Even so, I don't regret any of the experiences or the time spent with my family.

We could've cut back on our excursions budget by not booking directly with Disney Cruise Line or finding a spot to snorkel on our own, but I liked the ease and security of booking directly with the cruise line.

We've heard a lot of horror stories lately about cruise-ship passengers getting left behind in ports , and we always figure our odds are better if we're on an excursion arranged by the ship.

Next time, we might cut back on drinks and spa treatments

Since we're limited by when we can travel, we're honing in on alcohol and spa treatments as areas we can spend less money on.

We're not huge drinkers, but my husband and I enjoy having a glass of wine with our dinner and a couple of cocktails on deck or while lounging on the beach at Castaway Cay.

On future trips, we may cut back. When we looked at our bill, we saw that some of the wine we ordered was as much as $18.50 per glass!

And, as much as we loved the massages on the beach, they cost $289 a person (including automatic gratuity). Getting a massage in a beachside cabana while on vacation was super relaxing, but we can get massages at home for a fraction of that price.

Overall, we loved our cruise and have no regrets

The longer cruise with four ports of call was pricier than we realized, and we got a bit of sticker shock when we saw the final bill with our onboard extras.

I don't have any regrets since my family has always been more focused on experiences than stuff : We don't drive fancy cars or wear expensive clothes, but we prioritize nice vacations.

Although we know we need to curb the spending in a few areas and be a little more aware of what things cost when charging things to our room, we came away with fond memories that were worth every penny.

Watch: While Delta's business is 'extremely robust,' the airline's marketing chief stays focused on the data

The Best New Cruise Ships

Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas will be the world's biggest new cruise ship.

Cruising is one of the fastest growing sectors of tourism, with passenger numbers projected to reach 37.2 million by 2025, according to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). Cruise lines are responding to this growth by building new (and often, larger) vessels with all the bells and whistles, including technological advancements that are more environmentally friendly and create the capability to use alternative fuels.

U.S. News has compiled this roundup of new cruise ships that have just set sail or are scheduled to launch later in 2023 and in 2024, plus a preview of new ships coming in 2025 and beyond. The list includes everything from expedition and luxury yacht-style vessels to reimagined ships and megaships – plus the debut of a brand-new cruise line.

This new attraction soars 19 decks high and offers unparalleled views of the ocean below.

Cruisers can enjoy additional spaces like a two-story dome that is a pool during the day and a stage for shows at night; the European-inspired Piazza, which offers ocean vistas from nearly every angle; the Princess Arena, a high-tech performance space; the elegant three-story Horizons Dining Room; and the new Wake View Terrace with an infinity pool.

Once on board, guests will discover new entertainment venues like the Bright Lights Society show bar and more wide-open spaces throughout the ship, as well as Cunard 's first two-story theater. New international dining options include Japanese restaurant Aji Wa with sushi and omakase menus, plus Indian cuisine at Aranya.

The ship will have the same eight neighborhoods as other Oasis-class ships, including Central Park, The Boardwalk and the Pool & Sports Zone.

The 40-plus food and beverage options will include new additions like the Pesky Parrot bar and a themed "mixed reality" dining experience that takes place on a train. A reimagined playscape is another addition, with nets, games, puzzles, slides and climbing walls for junior cruisers.

Disney Cruise Line: 2025

Disney purchased the former Global Dream from Genting's Dream Cruises in 2022, when it was still being built at the German shipyard MV Werften. Disney plans to base the ship in Singapore for at least five years, offering Disney vacations to the Southeast Asian market. When it launches in 2025, the vessel will be the line's seventh ship and is expected to carry 6,000 passengers. Another newly built, currently unnamed Disney ship is planned to debut in 2025, as well.

Norwegian Cruise Line: 2025 and beyond

The third Prima-class ship is expected to be approximately 10% larger than the first ship in the class, Norwegian Prima (143,535 gross tons). The following ships for the line are anticipated to be even larger, with the fifth and sixth Prima-class vessels (debuting in 2027 and 2028) weighing as much as 171,000 gross tons.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity's fifth Edge-class ship will be more eco-friendly, thanks to the addition of a new tri-fueled engine model and the capacity to store three different kinds of fuel, including methanol. The effort toward net-zero emissions and more sustainable cruising is a partnership between Royal Caribbean, the French shipyard Chantiers de L'Atlantique and the technology firm Wärtsilä. A debut date for this ship has not yet been announced.
