The Disney Cruise Line (DCL) is known for its commitment to families traveling with children, but the brand is highlighting its offerings for passengers aged 18 and older.

The cruise line offers secluded places, pampering, nighttime entertainment venues, fine dining, private pools, secluded sundecks and comfy cafes that allow grown-ups to indulge, unwind, relax and rejuvenate in exclusive areas.

Here are the ship-by-ship adult-only experiences offered by DCL.

Disney Fantasy

On Disney Fantasy, guests will experience two adults-only dining experiences—Modern Italian Cuisine at Palo and French-Inspired Remy—as alternatives to the normal rotational dining experiences.

Senses Spa & Salon provides tranquility, pampering and relaxation in an ocean-view environment that spans more than 16,000 square feet, while the Quiet Cove Pool District offers private pools, a bar and cafe.

At night, Europa offers adults the chance to go “country hopping” among five clubs, pubs and lounges that celebrate Europe, all in a single location on Deck 4, Aft.

Disney Wonder

For passengers looking for a special meal, Palo offers an upscale dining experience in a sophisticated atmosphere reserved exclusively for adults. Passengers are invited to indulge in a menu of modern Italian cuisine, classic reserve wines and superior service.

Disney Wonder offers a lineup of revamped venues for dancing, comedy and variety shows, including the Crown & Fin Pub, Cadillac Lounge and Azure nightclub. The ship also features the Senses Spa & Salon and the Quiet Cove Pool District.

Disney Magic

In addition to the Senses Spa & Salon and the Quiet Cove Pool District, the Palo restaurant will also be highlighted on Disney Magic, including an adult-only Champagne brunch on sea days and select port days.

After Hours comes to life aboard Disney Magic through the Fathoms nightclub (which can host everything from comedy shows to high-energy dance parties), Keys (a piano bar and lounge) and O’Gills Pub (an Irish pub and sports bar).

Disney Dream

Like Disney Fantasy, the Disney Dream ship will offer Palo and Remy adults-only dining experiences, as well as Meridian, a venue with decorations inspired by the early days of sea travel.

What makes Disney Dream so special is The District, an adult-exclusive nighttime entertainment neighborhood that features trendy and sophisticated bars and lounges, including Skyline, Pink: Wine and Champagne Bar, Evolution, Pub 687 and the District Lounge.

Disney Wish

As DCL’s newest ship, Disney Wish provides some of the most exciting adults-only experiences, including the Keg & Compass, Nightingale's, The Bayou and the Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge.

For Star Wars fans, the Hyperspace Lounge is strictly for adults in the nighttime hours as they embark on a well-appointed spaceship complete with signature drinks. Two adults-only restaurants will also be available; Palo Steakhouse and Enchante.

During the day, adults can relax at the Quiet Cove Pool District, the Outdoor Oasis at Senses Spa, the Untangled Salon and Hook's Barbery, which doubles as a hidden bar with hosted tastings.
