Disney Cruise Lines opened with the maiden voyage of the Disney Magic in July 1998 and since then the fleet has expanded to five ships sailing currently, with more ships coming. To celebrate their 25th year, Disney Cruise Lines is going to offer special “Silver Anniversary at Sea” sailings in 2023.

These special sailings will happen aboard all five ships with special entertainment, merchandise and more.

To commemorate Disney Cruise Line’s 25th anniversary, we’re thrilled to share that a new wave of special “Silver Anniversary at Sea” entertainment, merchandise and celebratory experiences will be featured during summer 2023 sailings onboard all five of our ships! New family entertainment and activities will culminate in shimmering evening experiences created exclusively for the anniversary celebration.”

The special anniversary sailings will begin in May and run through September, 2023.

Here’s a list of what guest can expect:

1. New Looks for Captain Mickey and Captain Minnie: Strike a pose with this iconic duo in their dazzling new ensembles. Their coordinated looks will feature swirling designs reminiscent of ocean waves and multi-toned fabric in the signature color of the celebration: Shimmering Seas.
