Your Guide To Disney Cruise Line Entertainment Offerings
One of the MANY things that sets Disney Cruise Line apart from the others is the incredible entertainment that’s included during your sailing. There is something for everyone to enjoy. Kids and adults alike are swept away in the Broadway-style musicals, fireworks at sea, interactive deck shows, and much much more.
Here is a helpful guide to the Disney Cruise Line entertainment offerings:
Broadway-Style Musicals
On every Disney cruise, you can see cruise ship entertainment reach new heights with the most elaborate productions at sea. They’ve taken the most imaginative elements from modern and classic Disney films to bring the stories you love to life on stage.
Some guest favorites include:
- “Beauty and the Beast” on the Disney Dream: Disney’s creative minds joined forces with top Broadway artists to reinvent this story for the stage. An innovative take on the story transforms renowned songs into spectacular, show-stopping numbers, and lavish costumes. Furthermore, you’ll watch master puppetry bringing a fresh perspective to the beloved characters of Mrs. Potts, Lumiere and Cogsworth. Audiences of all ages will be enchanted by characters and songs from the Disney classic, along with two musical numbers from the live-action movie.
- “Tangled: The Musical” on the Disney Magic: At last we see the light…only on the high seas! The animated Disney film “Tangled” comes to life on stage as the first adaptation of the endearing story we all love. Disney has also assembled an all-star creative team to develop this original Disney Cruise Line stage spectacular, which includes three new songs created exclusively for the show by Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and Grammy Award-winning lyricist Glenn Slater, along with pioneering puppetry created by master puppet designer Michael Curry.
- “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular” on the Disney Wonder: Enjoy a heartwarming tale of two sisters with “Frozen, A Musical Spectacular.” Based on the hit film “Frozen,” this musical shows the adventure of Anna and Elsa when an accident as children changes their lives forever. With catchy songs to state-of-the-art designs and technology, this original stage show is a flurry of fun for the whole family!
- “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular” on the Disney Fantasy: From the big screen to the live stage, enjoy this uproarious performance based on the Disney film “Aladdin.” This mythical story of boy meets girl raises the bar with special effects and technology, which often spills the action into the aisles or above the audience. You’ll also enjoy your favorite songs from the movie, or delight in a new song for the production “To Be Free.”

Step inside their royal ballroom where glowing wish lanterns illuminate your path. You’ll also discover the walls are adorned with colorful drawings reflecting Rapunzel’s artistic endeavors. The experience features live entertainment and characters. This includes spirited singing and dancing by Flynn Rider, the mischievous Snuggly Duckling Thugs, and Princess Rapunzel herself!

Tiana’s Place transports you to an era of southern charm, spirited jazz and street party celebrations. It also offers a menu influenced by Southern-style cuisine. Adding to the magic, special touches from the movie like family photos, water-lily-shaped candleholders and more help convey the timeless tale of Tiana’s journey from waitress to frog to princess to proud restaurant owner.
