Disney Cruise ships are unusual in that they are exclusively designed for families, down to the smallest detail. They're also elegant and stylish, offering a high quality cruise experience. Disney Magic, the company's first sea-going adventure, launched in 1998, provides a luxury experience on par with its theme parks for every one of its 2,700 passengers, with dedicated spaces for kids, teens and adults as well as facilities that welcome the whole family.

The Buena Vista Theatre hosts Disney productions throughout the voyage, starting with a welcome show on embarkation day, as well as several original musicals featuring classic Disney hits. Children can also meet the characters at designated points on the ship every day of the voyage.

Family dining venues are all beautifully designed and Disney Magic's 'Rotational Dining' service allows passengers to experience a different restaurant at every meal. Animator's Palate and Carioca's serve traditional American fare; Cabanas offers casual dining, and there are several poolside snack bars. Adults can enjoy a more sophisticated meal at Lumiere's and adults-only Palo, while there's no shortage of bars, including Signals cocktail bar, Keys piano bar, O'Gills pub and Fathoms nightclub.

Two pools cater to kids, including toddlers; two others are adults-only, and one is designed to accommodate entire families with hot tubs where parents can relax while keeping an eye on youngsters. A nursery, two children's clubs and two teen clubs are also on hand to give adult guests a break.

Disney Magic's spacious luxury cabins feature Frette linens, Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, bathtubs and H2O Plus bath amenities. They're beautifully designed, with polished wood and maritime motifs throughout.

Itineraries cover Alaska, the Bahamas, California, Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Mexico and the Panama Canal. For families of any age with a love of Disney, this ship delivers on all fronts.
