From mid-Novermber through December 2024, Very Merrytime Cruises will return to the Disney Cruise Line fleet. Characters get dressed up in their holiday attire and guests can enjoy festive activities throughout the journey. Disney just announced that a ton of new offerings will be available on these cruises this year and we’ve got all the details.

Looking to set sail during the holiday season? A cruise with Disney might be the answer! And, this year is the perfect time because new experiences have been announced for Very Merrytime Cruises! It all kicks off on the first night with a new Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Passengers will gather around the three-deck-tall tree in the atrium with Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy as everyone sings along to classic holiday tunes. Then, you’ll count down until both the party and the tree are lit. Plus, there might even be a special jolly guest appearance!

Another brand new offering is Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party on the upper decks! This celebration will be “filled with tidings of good cheer” and will also feature “favorite Disney friends…with a fresh mix of classic and original holiday songs. Of course, the entire ship will be decked out (see what we did there?) in holiday decor and there will be plenty of holiday merchandise and activities to explore. Oh, and did we mention there will be festive food and beverage items?!
