Disney Magic embarked on its maiden voyage in July 1998, beginning a new kind of family vacation.

From May through September 2023, travelers are invited to take part in limited-time Silver Anniversary at Sea offerings across all five Disney ships.

'For two and a half decades, Disney Cruise Line has built an incredible legacy of creating unforgettable vacation memories for families around the world,' said Sharon Siskie, SVP and general manager, Disney Cruise Line. Cast and crew members will be at the heart of the anniversary celebration, she added.

Special entertainment, decor and, of course, merchandise

Special summer cruises will provide new entertainment, limited-time enhancements, special decor and merchandise.

Capt. Minnie Mouse and Capt. Mickey Mouse make appearances in new festive attire exclusively aboard Silver Anniversary at Sea sailings.

Disney Cruise Line will debut a signature song to serve as the soundtrack of the celebration, and new family entertainment and activities will culminate in shimmering evening experiences. Themed culinary creations, from desserts to cocktails, will be offered throughout each cruise.

A new line of merchandise, the Shimmering Seas Collection, spans apparel, accessories, drinkware and keepsakes.

Additional details about entertainment, merchandise and other celebratory experiences will be announced at a later date.

New Castaway Club membership tier

For loyal cruisers, the Castaway Club will add a new tier, Pearl status, after 25 Disney cruises, with new at-home and onboard benefits to be announced in early 2023.
