Disney Dream Cruises
Ship Overview
Disney Dream launched in 2011 as Disney's third ship and first in the Dream class. She introduced AquaDuck - the first water coaster at sea - and continues delivering Disney magic on 3-4 night Bahamas cruises from Port Canaveral.
The shorter itineraries make Dream perfect for first-time cruisers and quick Disney escapes. Every voyage visits Nassau and Castaway Cay, with some sailings adding Lighthouse Point (Disney's new Bahamas destination). The ship offers the complete Disney experience in a concentrated timeframe.
Dream shares most features with sister ship Fantasy, including Animator's Palate, character dining, and District nightlife for adults. At 129,690 gross tons, she's slightly smaller than Disney Wish but delivers classic Disney warmth and service.
