Disney Cruise Line to mark 25th anniversary with special events

Special entertainment, merchandise and “celebratory experiences” will feature on selected summer sailings next year as Disney Cruise Line marks its 25th anniversary.

Passengers will be able to participate in limited-time Silver Anniversary at Sea events across all five ships in the fleet between May and September 2023.

New family entertainment and activities will culminate in evening experiences created exclusively for the anniversary celebration.

Additional details about new entertainment, merchandise and other celebratory experiences will be announced at a later date, according to the company.

Cruises featuring the anniversary activities will sail to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Europe and Alaska.

Disney Dream will be deployed in the Mediterranean, northern Europe and the Greek Islands between May 7 and September 17.

Newest ship Disney Wish will run sailings to Nassau, Bahamas and the private island of Castaway Cay between May 1 and September 8 from Port Canaveral.

Disney Fantasy will also be based at Port Canaveral to run eastern and western Caribbean itineraries, each with a day at Castaway Cay, between May 6 and September 2.

Disney Magic, the first ship to join the fleet in 1998, sails from Miami between May 24 and September 4 to the Bahamas and Caribbean, also featuring calls at Castaway Cay.

Disney Wonder will be based in Vancouver to run Alaska cruises between May 15 and September 11, including stops in Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan.

Disney Cruise Line senior vice president and general manager Sharon Siskie said: For two-and-a-half decades, Disney Cruise Line has built an incredible legacy of creating unforgettable vacation memories for families around the world. 

“Of course, at the heart of this anniversary celebration are our dedicated cast and crew members who continuously deliver legendary service and create magic at sea for our guests every day.

“Whether returning as a member of our Castaway Club or sailing with us for the first time, we are thrilled to invite guests of all ages to be a part of our very special anniversary festivities next summer.”
