Disney Cruises Minimum Age Policy

A Guest must be at least 18 years old to sail unaccompanied, otherwise, minors under age 18 who are not accompanied by a parent or guardian must be accompanied by someone at least 21 years old in the same stateroom.

The minimum age to sail aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship is 6 months on the day of sailing; however, the minimum age for Transatlantic, Panama Canal and Hawaii itineraries is one year on the day of sailing.

Authorization for Minor to Travel without a Parent or Legal Guardian

It authorizes an adult (age 18 and older) other than the parent or legal guardian to retain care, custody and control of a child during the span of a Disney cruise vacation. It is required for each child traveling without a parent or legal guardian.

A parent or legal guardian must complete this form, naming each of the children it applies to, and it must be presented by the authorized adult during check-in at the port terminal.

Ports & Port Adventures Excursions

In general, Disney Cruise Line security guidelines require children under the age of 18 to be accompanied by an adult Guest traveling in the same stateroom.

However, a parent or guardian may allow their child to go ashore either unaccompanied by an adult or with another specified adult Guest by completing the "Traveling with Minors" section of My Online Check-In. Or, once on board, you may sign a Debarkation Authorization for Minors Form at the Guest Service Desk.

Minimum Age Policies are subject to change by the cruise line. For the most current Disney Cruise Line Minimum Age Policies, please refer to the Disney Cruise Line website.
