Family vacations<\/a> should be chock-full of theme parks, beaches and exciting new places, and sailing with Disney Cruise Line<\/a><\/strong> makes it easy for travelers of all ages to enjoy all three of these things in one truly magical place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of\u00a0 family-friendly trips aboard their ships the Disney Magic<\/strong><\/em>, Disney Wonder<\/strong><\/em> and the highly anticipated Disney Dream<\/strong><\/em>, which sets sail in 2011. Destinationsinclude Alaska and the Pacific Coast, the Bahamas<\/strong> (including Disney’s private island Castaway Cay), the Caribbean<\/strong>, the Mexican Riviera<\/strong>, the Panama Canal <\/strong>and the grand ports of Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All of the\u00a0 ships bring the whimsy and enchantment of Disney to the open sea.\u00a0 Plus, there’s something for the whole clan: little ones will love the\u00a0 ships’ dedicated kids-only levels and the chance to interact with their favorite characters,\u00a0 and parents will appreciate the spa, fine dining and bars.<\/p>\n

\"The

The Disney Dream<\/p><\/div>\n

In particular, the Disney Dream<\/strong><\/em> takes family cruising to a new level, boasting the massive AquaDuck water coaster, a spa specifically for teens, pools that cater to every age group and more. Parent-friendly features, like in-room babysitting, a “peek-a-boo” window at the onboard nursery and a “parent pager” that allows moms and dads to keep tabs on their kids, will also do wonders to put any worries to rest.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t gotten the chance to get away with the whole gang this summer, there’s still time left to plan an August or September Disney cruise.\u00a0 For a tropical vacation, take a look at the 5-Night Bahamas<\/a> sailing that departs from Port Canaveral, Florida and makes stops in Key West, Florida, Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay.<\/p>\n

If you have a few more days to spare or want to enjoy an adventurous itinerary, the 10-Night Western Mediterranean<\/a> sets sail out of Barcelona, Spain and heads to Malta, Tunisia, and Corsica, as well as Italy’s Naples and Rome and the French port of Villefranche-Sur-Mer.<\/p>\n

Want a little bit of both? The 14-Night Transatlantic Westbound<\/a> leaves Barcelonaand makes stops in Gibraltar and Portugal before heading to the islands of St. Maarten, Tortola, and Castaway Cay for sun, sand, and surf.<\/p>\n

Best of all, each Disney cruise includes almost everything that your whole family could want. When you book your sailing, you’re paying for your stateroom, meals in a selection of restaurants like Animator’s Palate, Parrot Cay, and all-you-can-eat buffets, plus onboard entertainment and clubs for kids and teens.<\/p>\n

Start planning your dream Disney vacation today and get ready to embrace the magic at sea!<\/p>\n
