Mickey and Minnie’s Surprise Party at Sea Kicks Off This Week

This summer, Disney Cruise Line is celebrating 90 years of Mickey with a party exclusively aboard the Disney Fantasy. The special event – Mickey and Minnie’s Surprise Party at Sea – kicks off on the cruise this week and continues on select Caribbean and Bahamian sailings through the end of August.

This high-energy afternoon deck party complete with music, dancing, games, food and special décor, the guests of honor will be dressed in their festive best and joined by their pals on stage. Soak up the sun and fun, enjoy the memorable moment where Mickey is surprised, plus a lively new song created just for the occasion – “It’s a Good Time.”

In true party style, you can munch on tasty treats such as Mickey ice cream bars and Mickey-shaped pretzels, cool down with a refreshing nonalcoholic specialty drink served in a commemorative Mickey-shaped cup, or treat yourselves to birthday-themed gelato and cupcakes available at Sweet on You.

In addition to the new party, other onboard offerings celebrate the world’s most beloved mouse this summer, like in-stateroom surprises, themed treats, a photo backdrop and animated shorts playing on Funnel Vision.

Commemorate the fun with special merchandise available for purchase on board, including t-shirts, drinkware, hats, lanyards and stateroom magnets.

It’s not too late to join the party!

Disney Video: Iceland Cruise

As the Disney Magic tours Europe this summer and next, Iceland is one of the amazing destinations Disney Cruise Line is taking Guests to explore. With ruggedly beautiful terrain, iconic geothermal pools and an abundance of whales swimming just off the coast, it’s the perfect spot for adventure-seeking families.  

Akureyri and Reykjavik are both ports of call on the 11-night Norwegian Fjords cruise this summer.  An overnight call on Reykjavik gives Guests three back-to-back days in this incredible land of fire and ice. Then, Disney Cruise Line returns to Iceland in 2018 with two days in Reykjavik on our 10-night Norwegian Fjords cruise.
