Where magic meets the sea!

By Jacinta Blundell, HelloWorld Travel

Embarking on the Disney Wonder is like entering a floating world where Disney’s iconic magic meets the open seas. Whether you are chasing the giggles of little ones racing to meet their favourite princesses or enjoying a quiet evening in an adults-only lounge, this cruise offers enchantment for everyone.
Did you know there are officially 13 Disney princesses? That’s right—and you never know around which corner one of them is ready to meet you during your cruise! Picture the delight as young princesses (and even grown-ups) eagerly rush to greet their royal idols—it’s straight out of a fairytale. The magic doesn’t stop there – whether it’s Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, or Thor himself, every encounter feels personal, magical, and full of fun. A mimed conversation with Minnie about my pearl earrings? Absolutely! Even a casual chat with Thor as he cracked a few jokes? Yes, please!
The Disney Wonder experience extends far beyond character meet-and-greets. One of its highlights is the Broadway-style shows performed before dinner. No need to choose between a show or a meal; you get to enjoy both! From high-energy musicals to Disney classics that tug at your heartstrings, the talent aboard is world-class, ensuring each performance leaves you enchanted.
Dining aboard the Disney Wonder is another adventure in itself. With rotating themed restaurants, each meal becomes a fresh experience. The best part? Your servers rotate with you, so you’ll always have familiar faces and personalised service, no matter where you dine. It’s a thoughtful touch that makes you feel like part of the Disney family.
And don’t worry—Disney Wonder isn’t just for kids! Adults will find plenty of spaces to unwind, too. The Cadillac Lounge, an adults-only retreat, offers sophisticated cocktails alongside live performances. Imagine sipping a drink while a talented musician serenades you with timeless classics—maybe even a few Toy Story hits that take you back to childhood. If you’re looking for a luxurious experience, the spa’s adults-only villas with infinity spas provide the perfect space to relax after a rejuvenating treatment. For an upscale dining experience, Palo, an adults-only restaurant, offers exquisite Italian cuisine and stunning ocean views—an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle.
While the kids are immersed in their own adventures in the kids’ clubs, adults can enjoy peaceful moments too. Whether it’s relaxing by the adults-only pool, sipping coffee in the quiet cafe, or testing your trivia skills at the English-inspired pub, there’s something for everyone aboard this magical vessel.
With the Disney Wonder returning to our shores for the Summer 2025 season, now is the perfect time to book your spot on this unforgettable cruise. Whether you’re an adult cruising without kids or sailing with little ones, there’s a space for you. From character meet-and-greets to Broadway-style shows, live evening entertainment with fireworks at sea, gourmet dining, and adult-exclusive escapes, Disney Wonder offers something for everyone – regardless of age! So, set sail on your next cruise adventure of a lifetime and let the magic of Disney at sea enchant you—after all, Disney is a place where we all remain children at heart!
