Disney Cruise Line has again claimed the top spot as #1 Large Ship Cruise Line in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards. More than 757,000 readers shared their travel experiences this year. Their votes put Disney on top for family design, entertainment, and guest service.
What Makes This Award Special
The Readers’ Choice Awards come from travelers, not critics. Each year, Condé Nast Traveler asks readers to rate their favorite hotels, destinations, and cruise lines. Because the awards are based on real experiences, they carry extra credibility. Being named #1 proves that Disney Cruise Line continues to deliver quality and care guests can trust.

Why Disney Keeps Winning
Disney Cruise Line blends luxury with storytelling. Guests love the Broadway-style entertainment, themed dining, and attention to detail. Families enjoy a mix of fun and relaxation, while adults find their own escapes in lounges, spas, and fine dining. As a result, each sailing feels personal. It’s no wonder travelers continue to vote Disney their favorite year after year.

Set Sail on an Award-Winning Voyage
Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Treasure, joins the fleet in 2025, expanding itineraries from the Caribbean to Europe and beyond. You can see why readers made Disney their #1 choice at DisneyCruise.com, and find more stories behind the magic at SamsDisneyDiary.com.
