Adults Afloat

It's no secret that a Disney cruise can be the perfect getaway for a family traveling with kids - activities, tropical islands, and Disney Characters are just a few of the elements on a cruise that almost guarantee a good trip with the little ones. But you don't need to be, or have, a child to enjoy a Disney cruise - we've discovered some tips that can help you create a cruise experience that the grown-ups will adore. Whether you're traveling on a romantic getaway, joining friends for a floating reunion, or just looking for something to do while the kids enjoy some of the "just for them" onboard activities - a Disney Cruise Line® vacation can be anything but kid stuff.

WINING AND DINING

Looking for an intimate, adults-only dinner opportunity? Both the Disney Magic® and the Disney Wonder® have just the spot - the elegant gastronomical hideaway Palo. This fine haven of Northern Italian cuisine is just for grown-ups, so that romantic dinner will happen in a suitable atmosphere Palo isn't just for dinner, either - on seven-night cruises, you can also sample a lavish champagne brunch or afternoon high tea.

Speaking of champagne and other fruits of the vine, wine enthusiasts can enjoy a Stem to Stern Wine Tasting -- sample wines from various regions while learning to become a discriminating connoisseur under the tutelage of the ship's own Cellar Master. If you prefer beer, there's a beer tasting and trivia event, which will give both your taste buds and your wits a workout.

PAMPER YOURSELF

Speaking of workouts, you can continue your gym routine (or start a new one) right onboard. The fitness facilities include state-of-the-art equipment, or there are classes and fitness instructors available to assist you with your yoga practice or create a personal workout. From Pilates to power-walking, your fitness needs are covered.

Looking to just relax? There are spa experiences available on both the ships. Visit the Vista Spa & Salon for a full range of spa and personal grooming services, from pedicures to wet and dry saunas and massages. The Vista Spa Villas let you enjoy the experience of visiting a world-class spa, without ever leaving the ship - a private outdoor veranda, hot tub, massages, and tea ceremony await.

ADULT RETREATS

Whether you're traveling with children and want a little grown-up time, or your party is all adults, you're never far from a grown-up retreat. In addition to dining at Palo, adults will find themselves in like company at the Quiet Cove Pool, only open to Guests 18 and over - complete with cocktail bar and whirlpools.

On Disney's own private island, Castaway Cay, there's an adult-only beach, Serenity Bay Beach. There you can enjoy frozen specialty drinks at the Castaway Air Bar or enjoy an open-air cabana massage.

Both ships are home to a variety of nightclubs, with everything from sports-bar entertainment to piano-bar live-entertainment to DJs spinning dance music. And they are all closed to minors after 9 p.m.

SO MUCH MORE

From first-run movies to a backstage peek at how Disney makes the magic, there's so much more for grown-ups to enjoy on a Disney cruise. Even the Broadway-style stage shows onboard are sophisticated enough for kids, parents, and grandparents to enjoy equally.

It all adds up to the vacation that's the trip of a lifetime - no matter what stage of life you happen to be in.
