Are you or your kids a fan of Frozen? If so, you may want to consider a Disney cruise for your family’s next vacation.

There are a number of new Frozen experiences coming to Disney Cruise Line this summer from a deck party to a new meet and greet including everyone’s favorite snowman!

A Full Day of Frozen Fun, including a Deck Party

Select Disney Magic and Disney Wonder sailings to Europe and Alaska this summer will celebrate a whole day with Frozen fun. The ship will be transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with a deck party called “Freezing the Night Away with Anna, Elsa, and friends.” This interactive celebration will feature Arendelle’s royal sisters, Kristoff, Olaf, and more!

New Production Number in “Disney Dreams”

Anna and Elsa will make their stage show debut at sea aboard the Disney Magic in the Walt Disney Theatre in an original production called “Disney Dreams… An Enchanted Classic.” Anna, Elsa, and Olaf will join some of our other favorite Disney characters to teach a little girl about the power of her dreams. Some of our favorite songs from Frozen will be included in the show like “Let it Go,” “For the First Time in Forever,” and “In Summer. ”

FOC659473-613x921

Magical Meet and Greets

Everyone’s favorite snowman, Olaf, will join Anna and Elsa on all four ships this summer to give away some warm hugs, sign autographs, and take pictures with Disney Cruise Line guests.

Adventures Ashore in Norway

If you are visiting Norway this summer on the Disney Magic, you can check out new port adventures that will bring Arendelle to life unlike ever before. You can explore Alesund, Norway to take in the charm and splendor of Norway in an enchanting storybook village.

Olaf’s Summertime Freeze on Castaway Cay

Olaf’s always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot so Castaway Cay is the perfect spot for Olaf’s Summertime Freeze Bar! This cool spot will serve non-alcoholic specialty frozen drinks in souvenir cups. You can pick from “Olaf’s Flurry Freeze,” “Sven’s Carrot Delight,” and “Warm Hugs.” You will find this new bar by the Pelican Point tram stop by Castaway Cay Family Beach.

The holiday season is well underway and Disney Cruise Line is celebrating the season, too! Disney Cruise Line offers Very MerryTime cruises, special holiday sailings, for most sailings in mid-November through December. There are three new events for Very MerryTime cruises in 2014 to make these sailings even more magical for your entire family.

Mickey’s Tree-Lighting Magic – Disney characters lead holiday carols and held light the incredible, glittering Christmas tree that stands three decks tall in the atrium lobby on the first night of the cruise. This is the perfect way to begin the holiday celebrations during your vacation!

Winter Wonderland Ball – Your whole family can put on your holiday best to join your favorite Disney friends and princesses for a glamorous ball to celebrate the arrival of jolly old Saint Nick and Mrs. Claus. This special night is filled with dancing, sining, and holiday treats. Plus, you’re sure to be enchanted by the transformation of a snowman into Santa Claus himself followed by a magical snowfall in the atrium.

Holiday Carolers – Festive characters and holiday carolers will spread the spirit of the season throughout the ship by singing holiday classics along with the help of favorite Disney friends.

All three of these new events for Very MerryTime cruises in 2014 are in addition to the activities that you already love such as meeting Santa Claus, creating your own gingerbread houses, listening to holiday storytellers and dancing at the tropical-themed “Deck the Deck Holiday Party.”

The holiday decor filling the ships is pretty impressive as well. There are more than 300 pieces of custom decor on each of the four Disney ships! All of the sparkling decorations are installed in just a few hours. Check out this video of cast members building the twenty foot tall tree:
