Credit: DisneyWhen it comes to family vacations, Disney once again emerges as king of the oceans and rivers. Cruise Critics have chosen Disney Cruise Lines and Adventures by Disney as the “Best for Families” for the Annual Editors’ Picks Awards. This is the fourth consecutive year both Disney assets have taken home this award.
Disney Cruise Lines
When it comes to vacations by sea, Disney Cruise Lines has always held a prime position in the family cruising hierarchy. First setting sail in 1998, Disney Cruise Lines combines Disney entertainment with the romanticism of a voyage aboard a classic ocean liner. Beginning with Bahamian and Caribbean Cruises out of Port Canaveral and Miami, Disney Cruise Lines now offers sailing all over the world from the Mediterranean to Alaska.
Adventures By Disney
Adventures by Disney has made a name for itself by offering intimate guided adventure-based travel all over the world, and they have come to dominate the river cruise market. In 2020, they will offer a record-breaking 26 departures along four European rivers: The Danube, The Seine, The Rhine, and the Rhone. Adventures by Disney makes these incredible all-inclusive vacations possible by partnering with the premier luxury river cruise line Amawaterways.

Cruise Critics’ international editorial team makes their decision based on first-hand experiences with experiences specifically catered to families. After considering more than 350,000 reviews from 700 cruise ships and 500 ports around the world, they decide once again on Disney Cruise Lines and Adventures by Disney for the best cruise line and best river cruise experiences for families.
Here are some of those Cruise Critics’ reactions:
“It was all fun … Overall we consider this the best vacation we’ve ever taken. Highly recommended!”
“It really was quite magical. Being treated with respect and having to worry about nothing … exhausted from the excitement that filled our souls.”
