Halloween on the High Seas with Disney Cruise Line

Disney Cruise Line announced it will transform its ships for Halloween activities with “frightfully fun events and activities, special decorations, unique menu items in the restaurants and themed parties” on cruises this fall.

Halloween on the High Seas takes place on most voyages aboard the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wonder and Disney Magic from September through October.

The festivities include lively entertainment and elaborate décor, including The Pumpkin Tree, which magically transforms throughout the cruise.

Haunted Stories of the Sea, where guests gather under the stars to hear tales of the sea told by a mysterious sea captain storyteller.

Creepy Cabaret: a Halloween-themed music performed live in the atrium by a band of ghostly musicians.

Halloween Isn’t Just For Kids: For adults, the nighttime entertainment district becomes the ghoulish setting for a costume contest and a Villainous Takeover on the dance floor.

Spooky Movies: To get guests into the spirit of the season, Halloween-themed movies will be shown on Funnel Vision by the family pool and in staterooms.

Ghoulish Delights: Disney Cruise Line chefs will prepare some special treats for Halloween, including chocolate cake with pumpkin filling, spider cakes and “Spooky Juice.”

Disney Cruise Line has drawn the curtain back on its three new vessels.

Set to debut in 2021, 2022 and 2023, the line promises that the ships will take family cruise vacations to a new level.

Newly-released renderings reveal a few details. Namely, the ships will carry on the Disney Cruise Line style, evocative of elegant ocean liners of the past.

The ships, which brings the “golden age of cruising” into the digital era will feature high-tech innovations, new technology, and immersive entertainment experiences. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Disney Cruise Line voyage without a surfeit of iconic stories and characters to infuse the experience.

The new vessels will be approximately 140,000 gross tons in size and hold about 1,250 guest staterooms.
