    We have just booked a Disney cruise from Barcelona in July 2026 and wondered will it have a pirates theme night or is that just in the Caribbean cruises

    Ahoy there, Mark, and welcome back to planDisney! How brilliant that you’ve booked a Disney Cruise sailing out of Barcelona for next summer. With the immersive onboard entertainment and impeccable service Disney Cruise Line is known for, you’re in for a truly magical holiday at sea.

    Since I don’t know exactly what ship and itinerary you’ll be sailing on, I’m happy to share what we’ve seen offered on similar recent sailings to help set your expectations.

    Even though Jack Sparrow is known for his Caribbean adventures, Disney also brings a touch of that buccaneer fun to select European cruises. I see both Mediterranean and European adventures being offered in July 2026, and while exact activities can vary based on itinerary and port regulations, many guests departing this summer from Barcelona get to enjoy a themed Pirate Night and Deck Party (just without fireworks at sea).

    Even if your itinerary doesn’t include fireworks, be sure to pack your best pirate gear because guests often go all out with themed costumes and accessories to make the most of the high-seas fun and find photo ops with their favorite Disney friends in their finest pirate garb! Speaking of deck parties, I’ve also noticed “Mickey’s Color Spin” on some of the schedules, which is full of music, dancing, and surprises for the whole family.

    As entertainment is always subject to change, your best bet will be to check back with us about six months before your sailing, once the cruise activities are more finalized. When you do, be sure to include your exact sailing date and ship name (likely the Disney Dream) so we can provide the most accurate information possible.

    Final tip, download the free Disney Cruise Line Navigator app to start your magical countdown. Once you’re onboard, it will also provide you with the most up-to-date schedule for everything from dining rotations to showtimes. I hope you’ll sail back to us again here at planDisney with any other planning questions as your trip draws near.

    Cheers!
