A Grown-Up Guide to Disney Cruise Line’s Adult-Only Areas
When people think of Disney Cruise Line, they often picture families with kids enjoying character meet-and-greets, deck parties, and splash zones. But Disney also knows how to cater to grown-up travelers who want a bit of relaxation, luxury, and fun—without the little ones around. Whether you’re sailing as a couple, with friends, or simply looking for some quiet moments away from the excitement, Disney Cruise Line offers a variety of adult-only spaces that provide a perfect escape.
Don't get me wrong … we LOVE the family friendly experiences. Our recent trip was shared with our 4 year old niece and nephew and it is absolutely the MOST fun to see the magic in their eyes as they enjoy their experiences and all the fun aboard the ship. However, as parents of a 22 year old and 18 year old, we love having time just the two of us or with our adult family and friends.
Castaway Cay & Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point Serenity Bay (Adult Only Beaches)
If your itinerary includes a stop at one or both of Disney’s private islands, Castaway Cay or Lookout Cay, be sure to visit Serenity Bay—an adult-exclusive beach with crystal-clear waters, private cabanas, and a dedicated beachside bar and grill. It’s the perfect place to unwind with a tropical cocktail in hand.
Our recent cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy included both private destinations and these were highlights of our trip. We spent both days enjoying the Serenity Bay at both locations. This was the perfect way to unwind and enjoy the sun and crystal clear water. My niece and nephew enjoyed kids clubs and their parents also found their way over to the adult beaches with us! It's the best of both worlds.
