Disney Cruise Line deck parties and fireworks are a great way to increase the excitement of an already anticipated cruise! Each ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet has at least one party during its voyage. Whether it’s the Sail-Away Celebration, a night with the pirates, or time with Pixar Pals there is a lot of fun for all!
Firework displays are something that Disney does well, whether it be on land or at sea, and Disney Cruise Lines’ fireworks are the first in the world to be offered by a cruise line at sea. Take a look at the various Deck Parties and Fireworks that you could experience on your next cruise.
Deck Parties & Fireworks
Frozen Deck Party
Join Elsa, Anna and Kristoff along with virtual visits from other Frozen characters up on deck for a really cool party! The evening starts with a Frozen themed dinner offering traditional Nordic dishes. After dinner, move up on deck for dancing and singing to your favorite tunes from Frozen. For non-dancers, Sven is hosting reindeer games on the transformed upper decks. To set the mood for the evening, Elsa has created a winter wonderland with snow covered rocks, giant snowflakes, and icicles. (Disney Magic and Disney Wonder select cruises only.

New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve aboard a Disney cruise ship is unforgettable. There is something for everyone to enjoy on this evening of festivities.

Pirates IN the Caribbean Deck Party and Fireworks
Enjoy an entire day with touches of a pirate theme culminating in a fantastic deck party and fireworks. For the younger ones, there are activities in the youth clubs to get in the spirit. Families can enjoy a game show in the afternoon to test their pirate knowledge. Pirates have even taken over Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and transformed the space into the Pirates League. Guests are transformed into pirates, recite the oath, and officially join Captain Jack’s crew.
Pirate Night officially starts at dinner in the Main Dining restaurants as the servers wear pirate garb and greet guests with an “Ahoy Matey!” or “Arrrr!” and a pirate bandanna at each place. After dinner, head over to the pool deck for entertainment starring your favorite Disney characters decked out in their finest pirate garb. Watch out for the skull-and-crossbones projections because they signal the arrival of Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, and their gang of pirates. Wait to see Mickey and his friends save the day! This party ends with a spectacular fireworks finale. Fireworks weather permitting and not offered on Alaskan cruises. (All Disney Cruise Line Ships)
