Disney Cruise Line Unveils Fleet-Wide Plan for 25th Anniversary Celebration

Ahoy there!

Disney Cruise Line is turning 25 years old, and the magical celebration will be felt across the entire fleet, from the original two to the latest and grandest.

Dubbed the “Silver Anniversary at Sea,” the Disney Magic, Disney Wonder, Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream, and Disney Wish will feature a brand new party, fireworks show, and an exclusive gift for Castaway Club members.

Disney Parks states,

Created in honor of Disney Cruise Line’s 25^th anniversary, the limited-time evening extravaganza will uphold the cherished Disney tradition of fireworks and honor Disney’s continuing legacy of adventure. The dazzling spectacle will be set to the tunes of iconic and beloved Disney music, and anchoring the show will be a brand-new signature song created especially for the “Silver Anniversary at Sea.” 

The fireworks will be seen on most cruises in the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mediterranean this Summer.

There will also be a special Captain’s reception to toast Disney Cruise Line on its Silver Anniversary.

Disney Parks explains,

On one evening each cruise, guests will be invited to join their ship’s captain and cruise director in the atrium for an anniversary toast. The festive affair will feature appearances from Captain Mickey Mouse and Captain Minnie Mouse — dressed for the occasion in their shimmering new looks, of course! — and a delightful rendition of the “Silver Anniversary at Sea” theme song.

Disney Cruise Line began in 1998 with the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. At the time, they were the largest cruise ships in the world. Beginning with sailings out of Port Canaveral and Miami, the fleet has expanded to include three larger ships and voyages that take Guests to the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, and soon Australia and New Zealand. There are also two new ships that are being prepped to enter service. The first is the Disney Wish’s sister ship called the Disney Treasure, and the second is a still-unnamed ship originally called the Global Dream that was bought by Disney mid-construction.
