The Dream holds the first-ever water coaster; two theaters for movies and live performances; a running track; a spa; and an array of dining options, including two adult-only fine dining restaurants, Palo and Remy, which considerably raise the standard for cruise cuisine. And while Disney is known to cater to children—there’s daycare for tykes and a lounge just for the teens—the Dream also accommodates its adult passengers with nightclubs, bars and other exclusive areas on the ship just for the grown-ups.

But all the fun doesn’t stop onboard. The Dream’s three-, four- or five-night cruises, departing from Port Canaveral, Fla., dock at Nassau and Castaway Cay, where Disney animates its 1,000-acre private Bahamian island with water slides, water sports, games and outdoor dining for kids of all ages (disneycruise.disney.go.com).
