Although there are plenty of Disney Cruises in 2024, not every itinerary is offered at every port during every month of the year. And once you throw school vacations and time off work into the mix — not to mention the complexities of multiple cruise ships and countless itineraries — it can be tricky to figure out just which cruise to select. It's not only the headlining selling points that will make the Disney Treasure an amazing ship to sail on. Across the 15 decks of the ship, guests could spend nearly the entire vacation just exploring and chancing upon delightful spaces and activities, each different from the last. A children's makeover salon that transforms kids into princesses, knights, pirates, and sea captains?

Carnival Cruise Line Notes Something Guests Should Never Do

Disney Cruise Line is planning ahead, looking at dreamy destinations for 2024 with sailings to the Caribbean, Mexico, and more from several different ports in the United States. Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products. Originally from South Carolina, Elizabeth moved to New York City from London, where she started her career as a travel blogger and writer. Just a few weeks ago, a woman was denied boarding on Carnival Luminosa due to her pregnancy. She was 26 weeks pregnant, and Carnival Cruise Line also requires that guests be no more than 23 weeks pregnant to set sail. The 82-passenger AmaLilia will join AmaDahlia to offer itineraries that begin with a pre-cruise stay in Cairo before joining the ship in Luxor for a roundtrip sail.

What does Disney say about its new Lighthouse Point private island?

If they enter the 24th week of pregnancy during the sailing, they will likewise be refused embarkation. Our crew was able to quickly, safely, and efficiently execute a long-range MEDEVAC for the patient to receive the higher level of care she required. This case demonstrates the value of good crew resource management and the capabilities of our Jayhawk helicopter. Avalon is bringing its style of river cruise ship to Portugal's Douro River in 2024, with the 102-passenger Avalon Alegria.

When and where will the Disney Treasure travel?

D’Amaro also shared with the D23 audience that work has begun on Disney’s second island destination in the Bahamas. Disney fans were the first to learn of the new ship at the D23 Expo in a never-before-seen concept video that premiered on stage. Peter Pan flew over the vessel to uncover the ship’s name and Disney characters on the hunt for adventure. Disney will also head to south, offering a pair of limited-time engagements on the Disney Magic from Galveston in early 2024.

There are unique special events and a special menu on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Sailings for Winter 2024 (October through December, and a few early 2025 itineraries) were announced on June 13, 2023. They went on sale for Pearl Castaway Club members on June 19,  Platinum Castaway Club members on June 20, Gold members on June 21, Silver members, Adventures Insiders and DVC members on June 22, and everyone else on June 26.

In addition, early bookers get first dibs on staterooms, making it the best way to land one of the hardest-to-get staterooms like the Secret Porthole and Secret Verandah rooms. Lots of people know about these advantages, so on the days the new itineraries become available for booking, both the phone lines and website get slammed. Unlike Disney Castaway Cay (Disney’s private island), Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point is a private port rather than a private island. Construction has been underway for a few years, and the island is ready to welcome its first Disney Cruise Line guests. In Fort Lauderdale, the ship will mainly sail on Bahamian itineraries (featuring Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney’s newest private port), with an occasional Caribbean cruise in the mix. Onboard the Disney Treasure, as with other Disney ships, guests will rotate among assigned restaurants for dinner each evening.

The vessel was about 180 miles northwest of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico when the rescue call was made by the ship’s crew. The aircrew transported the patient to the Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Local Emergency Medical Service personnel then transported them to Centro Medico Hospital. The Disney Fantasy is based out of Port Canaveral but was in the Atlantic Ocean about 180 miles northwest of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

Spanning two nights of every Treasure voyage, Plaza de Coco will feature live entertainment from mariachis and Miguel and serve Mexican cuisine. "Coco" is among Pixar's best movies in recent years, and this experience sounds like a fitting tribute to the film's characters, music, and culture. 1923 is named after the year Walt Disney and his brother, Roy, founded their studio. Decorated with gorgeous sketches and concept artwork from classic Disney films, 1923 will serve California-inspired dishes. A story will unfold throughout dinner, complete with a live appearance by Spider-Man and exclusive videos featuring original Marvel cast members reprising their iconic roles from the films. Since the Treasure sails longer voyages than the Wish, this new iteration of Worlds of Marvel will expand the restaurant's story into two parts rather than just one.

The Walt Disney Theatre will hold three Broadway-style stage productions including Disney Cruise Line favorites Beauty and the Beast and Seas the Adventure – and an all-new third show that will be announced soon. On the upper decks, Pirate’s Rockin’ Parlay Party will have music, fireworks, and some of the most partying pirates on the seven seas. Following the Disney Wish that set sail in July 2022, it’s the second of three new ships planned through 2025.

In essence, AquaMouse is a Mickey Mouse cartoon come to life as a water coaster. You might consider it an at-sea equivalent of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland. Make your list and check it twice because the Disney Treasure's maiden voyage will be December 21, 2024. If you ask us, traveling aboard a brand-new cruise ship sounds like a great way to spend Christmas. Pricing for that inaugural cruise starts at around $8,800 for two passengers collectively.

Disney Castaway Cay, the private island in the Bahamas owned by the Walt Disney Company, is on the itinerary for all posted Disney Treasure cruises at the time of this writing. Castaway Cay has the immaculate design and efficient guest flow of a Disney theme park but without the rides. Among the six Disney ships, the Disney Treasure most resembles the Disney Wish, whose maiden voyage was in 2022. Disney's two largest ships to date, both the Wish and the Treasure, weigh 144,000 tons and host around 1,250 staterooms. This means grander infrastructure and more guests on board, especially compared to the first two vessels, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder. Some of their dining experiences and kids' clubs are the same, but their aesthetics and many aspects of their programming differ.

The ship will sail from there in January and then again between March and April. Furthermore, Disney Cruise Line cannot be held responsible or liable for complications related to pregnancy at any stage, no matter when a guest sets sail. To safeguard the woman’s privacy as well as that of her traveling companions, the nature of those health complications has not been revealed. A long distance evacuation of a pregnant woman aboard Disney Fantasy was carried out by US Coast Guard crews.

Disney also announced its first sailings departing from Australia and New Zealand. From October 2023 through February 2024, Disney Wonder will sail out of Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in Australia, as well as Auckland, New Zealand, on a series of two- to six-night "Disney Magic at Sea" itineraries. These will be "cruises to nowhere" where the ship is the destination — it won't make port, but onboard programming will immerse guests in some of their favorite Disney universes, from Marvel to Star Wars.

You will also find characters dressed in Halloween costumes, as well as a costume party for families and, just for adults, a costume contest and a Villainous Takeover on the dance floor in the nighttime entertainment district. Some of the adventures in store for guests include Plaza de Coco, a colorful entertainment restaurant themed to the Disney and Pixar film Coco that will feature live music and entertainment from the film’s characters and the flavors of Mexico. Worlds of Marvel will be a dining experience that includes everyone’s favorite web-slinger, Spider-Man. Then there’s 1923, a family restaurant that gives guests a taste of old Hollywood and integrates them in the history of The Walt Disney Company.

Designers know guests can find plenty of Disney's highly themed whimsy elsewhere on the ship. As such, they show restraint of the brand within guest staterooms while still providing signature touches here and there. — will extend the story of Pixar's "Coco" in a live musical dinner experience. Guests will join a Dia de los Muertos celebration in Santa Cecilia after the film's events.
