    Cruise Critic picks Disney Cruise Line and Adventures by Disney for Top Awards

    Disney made out at the 10th annual Cruise Critic Editors’ Picks Awards with three wins.

    The editors of Cruise Critic have selected Disney Cruise Line for best entertainment (ocean) and best for families (ocean). Disney’s Adventures by Disney won best for families in river cruising.

    According to one Cruise Critic editor, “With all the magic of The Mouse behind it, Disney Cruise Line features some of the most enchanting spectacles afloat, including at-sea fireworks, interactive art and phenomenal production shows.”

    Another editor said, “Adventures by Disney charters AmaWaterways vessels and rebrands them for selected sailings, turning a traditional river ship into a fun-filled family cruise. Highlights include…family-specific programming and thoughtful shore excursions such as a tree canopy walk or apple strudel making.”

    Awards like these are a true testament to the magical experience our Cast and Crew Members create each and every day. What’s your top pick about cruising with Disney?
