Dreaming of a truly magical escape? For New Zealanders, 2024 offers an incredible opportunity to embark on a Disney Cruise right from our shores! The Disney Wonder is bringing its unparalleled charm and world-class entertainment to Auckland, providing a unique chance to experience the wonder of a Disney holiday without the long-haul travel.
What's Included in Your Disney Cruise Adventure?
One of the greatest benefits of a Disney Cruise is the incredible value packed into your fare. It's not just a cruise; it's an all-encompassing experience designed to delight every member of your family, and even those travelling without little ones! Here's a glimpse of what awaits you:
World-Class Entertainment: Prepare to be dazzled! From Broadway-style musicals featuring beloved Disney stories to spectacular fireworks at sea (on most itineraries), lively deck parties, and endless opportunities to meet your favourite Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars characters, the entertainment is truly unparalleled.
Imaginative Dining Experiences: Your taste buds are in for a treat with Disney's signature rotational dining. You'll experience different themed restaurants each night, with exquisite menus and often interactive elements. Think New Orleans jazz at Tiana's Place, or the magical transformation of Animator's Palate as sketches come to life. Beyond the main dining rooms, you'll find casual eateries, poolside snacks, soft-serve ice cream, and even 24-hour room service – all included! Plus, complimentary soft drinks, tea, and coffee are available on deck and in dining rooms.
Spacious & Thoughtful Staterooms: Disney staterooms are designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Many feature a "split bath" design with separate sink and shower areas, making it easier for families to get ready. You'll also find ample storage and thoughtful touches throughout.
Kids' Clubs Beyond Imagination: For families, the youth clubs are a game-changer. Imaginative, secure, and staffed by specially trained Disney counselors, these clubs offer age-appropriate activities for kids, tweens, and teens – from themed play areas like Andy's Room from Toy Story to cool hangouts for older kids to socialise.
Pools, Waterslides & Recreation: Splash it up in freshwater pools, race down exhilarating waterslides, or enjoy a more relaxed dip in adults-only areas. There are also fully equipped fitness centres, sports decks, and a variety of activities to keep everyone active and entertained.
One of the Only Cruise Lines to Depart New Zealand!
For Kiwis, the convenience of a Disney Cruise departing directly from Auckland is a huge draw. While many international cruise lines frequent our waters, Disney Cruise Line is a relatively rare and highly anticipated visitor. This means you can avoid the hassle and cost of international flights to kickstart your magical holiday, making it a truly accessible and stress-free option for a fantastical getaway.
Not Just for Families: Adults Will Love It Too!
While Disney is synonymous with family fun, Disney Cruise Line has masterfully crafted an experience that caters equally to adults, whether you're travelling as a couple, with friends, or simply seeking a refined escape.
Dedicated Adult-Only Spaces: Escape to serene havens designed exclusively for guests 18 and older. This includes the tranquil Quiet Cove Pool, perfect for a relaxing swim, whirlpool spas, and soaking up the sun.
Sophisticated Dining & Lounges: Indulge in exquisite adult-exclusive dining experiences like Palo, offering Northern Italian cuisine, or enjoy a selection of stylish bars and lounges with live music, artisanal cocktails, and a more sophisticated atmosphere.
Rejuvenation at Senses Spa & Salon: Treat yourself to luxurious spa treatments and salon services, complete with serene ocean views, rainforest-inspired showers, and a Roman-style dry sauna.
Check out the sailing dates over this period within AU/NZ Varied Activities & Entertainment: Beyond the family-friendly offerings, adults can enjoy a range of activities such as wine tastings, cooking classes, trivia nights, live music performances, and even some dedicated character-free shows and events.
A Disney Cruise from New Zealand in 2024 offers an unparalleled blend of magic, relaxation, and adventure. It's a truly unique opportunity to experience the legendary Disney service and entertainment right from our doorstep, proving that dreams really do come true – even for those of us down under!
