The Disney Cruise Line is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2023. It was originally launched in 1998, and since then, it has been taking guests on magical journeys on the high seas. Next year, the Disney Cruise Line will be having a “Silver Anniversary at Sea” celebration that will include entertainment, merchandise, celebratory experiences, and other offerings during the summer cruises that take place in 2023. The “Silver Anniversary at Sea” will be able to be experienced on all five of the Disney Cruise Line ships. Part of this celebration will include new costumes for Mickey, Minnie, and the gang.
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse had their new costumes already revealed. Their new costumes feature swirling designs that are supposed to evoke the look and feel of the ocean.
Mickey and Minnie won’t be the only ones donning special outfits for the 25th anniversary of the Disney Cruise Line, however. Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto and Chip ‘n’ Dale will all be donning festive new uniforms aboard the Disney Cruise Line as part of the celebration.
All of the Disney characters will be a part of this “Silver Anniversary at Sea” throughout the summer of 2023. There will also be a new theme song which will be heard on board the Disney Cruise Line ships, some culinary offerings, and of course some merchandise.
