It's the hap-happiest time of the year and Walt Disney World is known by it's fans to decorate like no place else with garland, wreaths, twinkling lights and glitter. But what does a Disney holiday look like at sea? Just like on land the amazing elves that work with Disney's Enchanted Florist go to work and transform Disney Cruise Line ships into true winter wonderlands during the holidays. From the moment you arrive at the Cruise Terminal you'll know that the holiday magic is alive during Disney Cruise Line's Very Merrytime Cruises.

Disney's experts create unique holiday decor is for specific locations around the ship carrying on the traditions set in the Parks. With bright colors in the kids' clubs, holographic foliage for the teen and tween spaces, and elegant accents for the adult areas you'll feel right at home for this fantastic holiday voyage. After all, no one does Christmas like Disney does.

When the ships stop at Disney's private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay, during the holidays, the celebration continues with "snow flurries," a decked-out Christmas tree, Disney character meet-and-greets and holiday island music.
