Disney Fantasy
Dream class · refurbished 2025 · Caribbean & Bahamas
The second Dream-class ship, launched in 2012. It returned to service in November 2025 after a dry dock in Brest, France, where it was refurbished around the suites, pool areas, and spa. Based at Port Canaveral, it focuses on 4- to 5-night Bahamas and Western Caribbean cruises, with 10-night Southern Caribbean itineraries available in some seasons. A signature feature is Pixar Day at Sea, when the entire ship takes on a Pixar theme on selected sailings, making it worthwhile to choose an itinerary for the character experience. Although its interiors are newly refreshed, they do not feel as modern as those of the Wish class, making it suitable for travelers who want a Disney experience while keeping costs down.

Boarding, atmosphere, and links
- Japan departures: No
- Home ports: Port Canaveral (near Orlando, Florida; also a year-round home port in 2026)
- Departure ports: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
- All ages
- Unlike sister ship Disney Dream's Art Deco style, Fantasy features a curved Art Nouveau interior. A Minnie Mouse statue stands in the center of the three-level atrium, while Dream has Donald Duck. Unlike the futuristic Wish class, it presents the elegance of a classic transatlantic route in a family resort setting.
- Primarily families with preschool- and school-age children sailing from and back to Port Canaveral around the Caribbean & Bahamas. The core itineraries are 3 to 7 nights, and couples celebrating anniversaries use concierge suites and Remy. Operations are primarily in English, with limited Japanese support.
Equipped with conventional diesel propulsion engines and entered service in 2012. Unlike the Wish class, it does not use LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel. It works to reduce emissions through ultra-low-sulfur fuel and a special hull coating that reduces frictional resistance and marine-organism attachment.
