Disney Cruises come to the UK

Here at Girl About HQ we LOVE all things Disney, so we’re over the moon to be sharing the news that Disney Cruises are coming to the UK.
We’ve just got our hands on the video of Emma and Matt Willis enjoying their first Disney Cruise on the Disney Fantasy, and the ship looks amazing!
As well as cruise envy, we’ve got ear envy, Emma has THE best selection of mouse ears! You can watch the video here.
In the video Emma & Matt are battling it out in a series of hilarious challenges to be crowned the Ultimate Disney Shipmate and it’s as fun and ridiculous as it sounds.
From pirate dress-up and towel animal-making to character selfie hunts, outrageous snacks, and spa-style downtime, the pair go all in. With help (and hindrance) from celeb friends like Coleen Rooney, Rob Beckett, Alison Hammond and Romesh Ranganathan, it’s a fast-paced, feel-good glimpse at just how fun life at sea with Disney can be.
Emma says it was like stepping into another world, pure Disney magic from start to finish, and Matt admits he never thought he’d be the guy doing towel origami, but somehow Disney got him hooked. You can watch the full video now over on Disney UK’s YouTube channel – the kids will love it, it’s the perfect mix of travel inspo, humour and wholesome Disney fun.
For the first time ever, the Disney Fantasy will be sailing from Southampton this summer, bringing all the magic, adventure and Mickey waffles a little closer to home.
From late July to September 2025, the Disney Fantasy will be departing from Southampton for 3-, 4- and 5-night sailings to Spain, Norway and the British Isles. It’s the first time the ship has ever sailed from the UK, so if you’ve been dreaming of a Disney Cruise, this is your moment.
There are also longer 5- and 12-night Mediterranean sailings from Barcelona and Rome (including a special Greek Isles itinerary) running from May to July.
- World-class dining

All with that signature Disney magic!
