A sister ship to Disney Dream, which debuts in January, the 4,000-passenger Disney Fantasy will cruise from Port Canaveral, Fla., on the popular seven-night Caribbean itineraries – alternating eastern and western – including a stop at Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay.</p>

The Fantasy, like its sibling, boasts features including an AquaDuck water coaster, high tech-driven attractions for kids and world-class entertainment. Disney characters and stories are, of course, also part of the experience.</p>
