Our guide to Disney Cruises

Does your family love Disney? We get it! Whether or not you’ve ever had the chance to visit the iconic Orlando theme park, you should know that there is another way to immerse yourself in the magic of Disney.

How would you like to experience a cruise organized by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company?

Here’s an overview of this family favorite that has been around since 1998.

Disney Cruise Line’s five ships are obviously designed for families. They offer activities and entertainment for all ages, including Disney shows and Broadway-style musicals, theme parties, pools, water games, movie theaters, kids’ clubs, and, why not, fireworks at sea!

Rest assured, the themes remain discreet in many sections of the ships; you will not be “invaded” by fluorescent colours and fairy-tale characters at all times. Adults even have their own dedicated spaces, such as spas and nightclubs.

Dining on board is also a highlight of Disney Cruises. Passengers can enjoy full-service restaurants, buffets and snacks throughout the day.

As for cabins, there is something for every price and taste, from standard cabins to luxury suites with private balconies.

Most cabins are decorated with a Disney theme. They are convenient for families. For example, some are connected, or have two bathrooms, a refrigerator and extra storage space.

La meilleure façon de payer sa croisière Disney moins cher est d’utiliser les points flexibles de certaines cartes de crédit. Comme  :

• Carte World Elite Mastercard de la Banque Nationale
• Carte Mastercard^MD HSBC World Elite^MD
• Carte Visa Infinite Passeport Banque Scotia
• et la Carte Cobalt^MD American Express

Par exemple, le taux d’échange est de 1 000 points Scène+ contre un crédit de 10 $.  Ceci est déduit directement du solde de la carte de crédit.  On peut voir un exemple de l’utilisation d’environ 102 000 points pour économiser 1 020 $ sur une réservation de voyage sur le site d’Expedia :

The principle is simple:

• Book the cruise with the travel agency or travel website of your choice
• Use your points to receive a credit to the account, according to the credit card redemption award
