Disney Cruise Line has unveiled new festivities for its Very Merrytime cruises, including a new tree lighting ceremony and a brand-new Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party.

On the first night of all Very Merrytime sailings, guests will gather around the three-deck-tall tree in the ship’s atrium for a new tree lighting ceremony. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Goofy will invite guests to sing along to classic holiday tunes, followed by a countdown that will introduce the guest of honor for the cruise, Santa Claus.

Meanwhile, the brand-new deck celebration, Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, will feature a mix of classic and original holiday songs. Guests can also expect a ship filled with boughs of holly from bow-to-stern; Disney characters debuting new holiday attire; themed Very Merrytime activities for the entire family; carolers singing contemporary versions of songs that celebrate a myriad of holidays; and commemorative merchandise and festive food and beverage items.
