Disney Cruise Line Recognized as a Top Cruise Experience


Disney Cruise Line was recently ranked No. 3 on the “World’s Best” awards by Travel + Leisure magazine. Up against some of the most distinguished lines in the cruise industry, Disney’s family-focused cruise experience rounded out the top three in the "Large Cruise Ship" category just behind Crystal Cruises and Regent Seven Seas, which placed No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.

The “World’s Best” list, which is compiled annually, recognizes the best in travel for cities, hotels, islands, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators, safari outfitters and car-rental agencies each year. The “Large Cruise Ship” ranking was determined from answers given by readers when asked to rate cruise lines on cabins, food, service, itineraries, destinations, activities and value.

Known for bringing family travel to the cruise industry, Disney Cruise Line continues to raise the bar on the cruise experience, with specifically designed areas and activities for each member of the family, allowing for both quality time together and wonderful individual experiences. The accolades from the seasoned travelers who voted on these awards are a further testament to the success of the Disney Cruise Line business.

From a theater featuring live musical spectaculars to a luxurious spa for adults and nearly an entire deck dedicated to children’s activities, the ships offer something for every member of the family. Disney Cruise Line continues to grow by attracting passengers who say they would not have cruised if it had not been for the Disney brand.

Well deserved appreciation for the cruise line. Not only is it my favorite type of "Disney vacation", it is also my favorite cruise line for multiple reasons. Looking forward to their new ships (and hopefully some new itineraries) in 2011.
