Disney has just given fans plenty of reasons to start planning cruise holidays as it's shared a sneak peek of its brand new cruise ship Disney Wish.
One of the highly-anticipated new cruise ships for 2022, Disney Wish will offer up a plethora of amazing experiences including a Frozen themed restaurant, Marvel-inspired immersive dining, a Star Wars Cocktail lounge, activities with Disney Princesses, and even a 'Marvel Super Hero Academy'.
Oh, and there's even a kids' club which children can access via a SECRET SLIDE.
The ship will also be home to Disney's first ever attraction at sea, Aquamouse, where families can join Mickey and Minnie on an adventurous water ride along 760ft of the upper deck, complete with a section offering up amazing ocean views.

Now, we've had a sneak peek at the ship as it was floated out the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, where it's being built. Fittingly, Minnie Mouse made an appearance for the milestone - she will be the ship's captain, after all!
It's the first time we've had a proper look at the ship, including the stern which features Rapunzel and her sidekick Pascal - the first time we've seen the artwork in real life. Other eye-catching effects include artwork depicting Minnie Mouse on the ship's bow, in a nod to the beloved character's role as captain.
The new ship is due to sail on a maiden voyage in July from Port Canaveral in Florida, on a series of three- and four-night itineraries to the the Bahamas and Disney's private island Castaway Cay.
Although she'll be the fifth ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet, she's also the first of three new ships due to launch by 2025, all being built at the shipyard in Germany. Each of the ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas and weigh approximately 144,000 gross tons.
Most Disney Cruise Line sailings depart from the USA, so if you want to board a cruise you'll need to plan to travel to the US including the travel requirements in place to visit.
However, there are some itineraries which do include sailings around the UK and Europe. You can find out more about the ship on disneycruise.disney.go.com.
Then of course there are plenty of other magical Disney breaks to be found whether you're looking to explore Disneyland Paris, or thinking of hitting the theme parks at Walt Disney World.
