Experience the magic of Disney Fantasy in 2025

Character meet and greets, enchanting entertainment, imaginative dining, cool kids’ clubs, and adults-only areas… A Disney Cruise Line holiday is a unique experience at the top of many families’ wish lists, and for good reason. From summer 2025, for the first time ever, you’ll be able to live the magic aboard Disney Fantasy from the UK, on three-, four-, and five-night European cruises from Southampton.

Experience the magic of Disney Fantasy in 2025

Disney Fantasy sailings are stylish, with elegantly timeless decor and fine-dining options, while transporting you to a world of fairy tales and family fun, from spellbinding musicals and dazzling deck parties to thrilling water slides and relaxing pools. While your little ones are having the time of their lives in the clubs tailor-made for them (open until midnight!), you can retreat to the adults-only pools, spas, and bars.

As well as being full-board** and great value for money, these cruises from Southampton are easy and convenient. The port is accessible by various means of transport, and you can go from shore to ship in as little as 30 minutes by choosing your port arrival time when you complete online check-in ahead of time.

Fitting perfectly into your school summer holidays, Disney Fantasy will whisk you away to France, Spain, or Belgium to take in some of Europe’s cultural treasures while soaking up the sunshine.
