Begin your Holiday adventure on Wednesday in Port Canaveral, along central Florida's Atlantic Ocean. Spend 2 unforgettable days at sea, enjoying extraordinary onboard activities and Disney-themed experiences you won't find anywhere else. Take in a live Broadway-style musical, dine in one of the exquisite dining rooms, and dance the night away at Rockin' Bar D.
On Saturday—New Year's Eve—arrive in St. Maarten, an island paradise shared by the Netherlands and France. Visit the island's pristine beaches, age-old sugarcane plantations, and fabulous Monaco-style casinos. Then, make your way back onboard to ring in the New Year later in the evening.
Usher in the New Year by enjoying another glorious day at sea. Watch a first-run movie or a digital 3-D film in the Buena Vista Theatre — featuring plush seats, a giant movie screen and advanced projection with state-of-the-art surround sound—or partake in any number of the age-appropriate onboard games and activities that occur throughout the ship.
Drop anchor at the sweeping island of Antigua which is actually a British territory in the West Indies. Boasting dazzling beaches, a lush rainforest and towns filled with intriguing historic sites, it's a place that is sure to stir the imaginations of everyone in your family. While there, be sure to check out Nelson's Dockyard, home to a museum, restaurants and shops.
The following day, explore the verdant island of Tortola, the largest and most populated of the British Virgin Islands. Swim, snorkel or surf in Cane Garden Bay, or stroll though the lush J.R. O'Neal Botanical Garden and the Mount Healthy National Park.
On St. Thomas, a centuries-old haven for pirates in the U.S. Virgin Islands, saunter through the Old Dutch historic district. Soak up the sun and surf of the island's unspoiled beaches, especially heart-shaped Magens Bay Beach—considered by many to be the world's most beautiful beach. Afterward, take in another pleasant day aboard the Disney Magic, where a vast array of onboard venues—including the Fitness Center, the Vista Spa & Salon and the Wide World of Sports Deck—are yours to enjoy.
On Friday, the ship docks at Disney's very own private island paradise, Castaway Cay. Boasting something for everyone, from biking and snorkeling to sunbathing and parasailing, it is undoubtedly the most magical island in the Bahamas.
Finally, arrive back in sunny Port Canaveral the next day, with a myriad memories that you and your family are sure to cherish for a lifetime.
