Ahoy there, Cherise! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you'll not only be coming across the pond but clear across the continent to experience an incredible Disney Cruise Line itinerary to Alaska! They don't call it America's Last Frontier for nothing, so I hope you're ready to set a course for adventure and venture into the unknown on my favorite ship in the
Disney Cruise Line fleet, the
Disney Wonder!
Speaking of the unknown, your question about whether there is a Pirate Night on the Alaskan itineraries is one we actually get quite regularly. While Atohallan may only know the mysteries of the dark sea, we here at planDisney know a thing or two about the goings-on aboard. I can say for sure that your sailing will be safe from the pirates of the Caribbean. Whether that's good news or bad news to you, Cherise, I'm not sure, but I'm fairly certain the pirates just don't enjoy being in those Northern latitudes - even if it is in late August! If you were hoping to see the pirates, I'm hoping you'll be able to let it go...
Anna was right when she sang "some things never change," though, and you'll be happy to know that there is still scheduled to be a theme night...and if you haven't picked up on my subtle hints - I mean, I've been laying them on pretty thick...Alaskan cruises swap in a visit from Anna, Elsa, and their friends in "
Freezing the Night Away!" From a rousing deck party to an Arendellean menu takeover, you'll have plenty of opportunities to experience the fun and magic of your favorite moments and characters from Frozen!
Now it's important to note that even though there is a deck party planned, there are no fireworks at sea on Alaskan sailings...you may or may not have thought about this, but it's likely to still be light out late into the evening! Combined with all the natural beauty that surrounds the Disney Wonder while you're in Alaskan waters, I'd say you're not missing out on anything!
Speaking of missing out, you definitely won't want to miss out on any of the exciting activities throughout your cruise (Frozen-related or not!) So be sure to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator app as soon as you touch down on US soil! This way, you'll be sure to see if any of the schedules change right in the palm of your hand once you board!
I hope that helps you plan - or at least saves you a bit of room in your suitcase! Thank you so much for sailing my way with your question, Cherise! If you have any others as you continue to plan, please be sure to sail my way again here at planDisney!
Have fun finding out what Frozen things do in Summer!
