Ahoy, Karen! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for sailing over with your question about the itinerary for your upcoming sailing aboard the
Disney Dream. It looks like you will be embarking next week, so I know that you want to get your packing list finalized and suitcases ready.
You should definitely save some room in your luggage for your best pirate attire because your 3-Night Belgium Cruise from
Southampton aboard the Disney Dream on August 21-24, 2026, is currently scheduled to have
Pirate Night on Day 2 of your sailing. Although the exact schedule is always subject to change, you can expect plenty of pirate festivities during your sailing. Fireworks at sea are not allowed on the European itineraries due to local laws and regulations, but you can still party like a pirate during the fun-filled deck party featuring music, dancing, and some of your favorite Disney characters.
Pirate costumes are certainly not mandatory, but a lot of guests like to dress in their buccaneer best to fully embrace the spirit of Pirate Night. If your pirate crew includes children, then I highly recommend packing a few fun accessories (such as a hat, vest, or eyepatch) to make the littlest sailors feel like part of the magic. However, if you don’t get the chance, then do not fret because your stateroom host or hostess will bring pirate bandanas for everyone in your party.
I hope you have an amazing time aboard the Disney Dream and enjoy sailing where magic meets the sea. Be sure to download the
Disney Cruise Line Navigator App, so that you can keep track of all of the activities happening onboard. Happy sailing!
