Disney Cruise Line has clinched the No. 1 ranking among “Large Cruise Lines” in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, according to recent industry reports. This marks the eighth consecutive time Disney Cruise has held the top spot.
In the Readers’ Choice poll, Condé Nast Traveler readers evaluate cruise lines across service, lodging, entertainment, itineraries, and overall satisfaction. Disney’s consistency across those categories has earned trust from loyal cruisers.
Disney Cruise Line President Jeff Vahle responded to the honor, stating the award “speaks to our team’s commitment to always going above and beyond – making every guest’s experience truly special.”
Disney blends immersive entertainment, family-friendly design, and global itineraries. Its private island in The Bahamas, Castaway Cay, remains a standout among its offerings.
The 2025 award comes amid rising competition in the cruise world. Other brands are expanding entertainment and destination options, aiming to lure families and multigenerational travelers. Disney’s edge is in leveraging its storytelling and brand in a cruise environment.
Cruise planners and travelers typically watch to see whether Disney maintains this streak. The challenge ahead remains continuing to balance innovation with consistency so guests feel both surprised and satisfied with their vacation experience.
