Disney Dream
“Disney's Bahamian short-break specialist — big-ship fun in three or four nights.”
Disney Dream launched in 2011 as the lead ship of Disney Cruise Line's Dream Class, bringing mega-ship scale to Disney's short-cruise lineup for the first time. Now sailing from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, she specialises in quick 3- to 5-night Bahamian getaways, calling at Nassau and Disney's private islands. Her Art Deco-inspired interiors, the original AquaDuck water coaster, and a full slate of rotational dining and stage shows pack a genuinely full-length Disney cruise experience into a long weekend, making her a favourite for families who can't spare a full week.
The AquaDuck — the first water coaster ever built at sea, sending two-person rafts on a 765-foot journey that loops out over the edge of the ship, 150 feet above the ocean.
