Colorful and charming St. John's, Newfoundland in Canada is rich in maritime history and hospitality. Not only is there picturesque architecture, but you may also run into an iceberg or whales when in season (best chance in July and August)! Interested in a great vacation spot a little closer to home?

THINGS TO DO ON THE DISNEY MAGIC!

What to do on the Disney Magic
There’s so much to do on the Disney Magic that you’ll never find yourself bored. Each night there’s live music in the Atrium Lobby. The Walt Disney Theatre is where you can find live original productions like Tangled: The Musical. Over at the Buena Vista Theatre, you’ll be able to catch a Disney movie, including films that are currently playing in theaters at home.

Kids will enjoy splashing around at the family pool or the AquaLab on the outside decks and playing with new friends at Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab. Teens have a dedicated space just for them with Vibe teen club.

Adults looking for a place to get away have spaces built just for them, like After Hours, an adults-only area where there are three bars and lounges to enjoy. Don’t skip the adults-only entertainment in this area, where game shows, karaoke, and more take place each night. This was a highlight of a recent sailing on the Disney Magic for my friends and me. The spa and Rainforest Room are good places to relax. There’s also a beautiful pool and coffee bar where you can just enjoy being on vacation.

Who will love the Disney Magic
Families looking for a smaller ship with fewer guests, or those who really love the movie Tangled are the perfect audience for a cruise on the Disney Magic.

Disney Magic - The ship that launched it all!

It may be the ship that launched it all in 1998, but the Disney Magic doesn’t feel old or outdated in any way. With a 2,713-passenger capacity, it’s one of the smallest and most charming in Disney’s fleet. In fact, if you’re booking your first cruise vacation, this Disney ship’s relatively small size works to its advantage because it’s less likely to feel overwhelming to those who are new to cruising.

Staterooms on the Disney Magic
Disney Magic has 613 outside staterooms (229 with an ocean view and 384 with a verandah) and 262 inside staterooms. Each cabin has nautical decor, with deep blues, reds, and wood tones. Disney Magic‘s staterooms also feature Disney’s signature split bathroom (one with a toilet and sink and the other with a shower and sink).

Dining on the Disney Magic
Disney’s rotational dining format on the Disney Magic has cruisers traveling through three different themed restaurants. As you move from restaurant to restaurant, your service staff moves with you so you get to know them (and vice versa) over the length of your Disney cruise vacation.

1) Animator’s Palate
One of the most popular restaurants among the Disney cruise ships is Animator’s Palate. This restaurant is part dinner and part show. Throughout your meal, the dining room will change from black-and-white sketches of famous Disney characters to colorful animations. As you dine on California- and Asian-inspired dishes, the room will fill with color. On cruises that are seven nights or longer, guests will get to be part of the show with Animation Magic. At the beginning of dinner, everyone is given a piece of paper and is told to draw a self-portrait. At the end of dinner, the drawings are magically animated and dance across the screens of the restaurant.

2) Lumiere’s
Exclusive to the Disney Magic, Lumiere’s is located in the ship’s atrium and has a subtle Beauty and the Beast theme. The menu leans more French-American, with dishes like escargot, duck confit, and roasted lamb. While there’s no real “show” inside the dining room, be sure to get up and walk around. There’s a large mural of Belle and the Beast near the back of the restaurant that’s great for photos. You can also pop into the restaurant on sea days between meals if you want to take a look or enjoy a peaceful and less crowded lunch here.

3) Rapunzel’s Royal Table
A major highlight of rotational dining on the Disney Magic, and my favorite restaurant on the ship is Rapunzel’s Royal Table. The Tangled-themed restaurant brings guests in to celebrate Rapunzel’s birthday with characters from the movie. The dinner-and-a-show concept applies here, and if you’re lucky you may even get to meet some of the ruffians from the Snuggly Duckling as they come to your table.

4) Casual dining options for everyone
The main buffet on the Disney Magic is Cabanas, which serves breakfast and lunch. The dishes vary by day, but mainstays for kids include chicken strips, macaroni and cheese, and fries. The Disney Magic has three other quick-service options: Duck-In Diner, Pinocchio’s Pizzeria, and Daisy’s De-Lites. This is where you can find quick options like burgers, cold sandwiches, pre-made salads, and pizza.

5) Palo (Adults Only)
The only adult-exclusive restaurant on the Disney Magic is Palo, which serves an Italian-inspired brunch and dinner. Brunch is a more casual affair compared to dinner, though both meals are excellent. Dinner is served every night and brunch is available on sea days. If you’re on a shorter three-night sailing on the Disney Magic, brunch may also be served on a port day, just check the onboard schedule. Advanced reservations for both meal services are required.

Holland America Offering Trip to Antarctica From A Very Unique Starting Point

Typically, visiting Antarctica, even as a cruise passenger, involves flying to a far-flung destination to embark on the journey.

But Holland America Line is offering a different take on the standard approach to exploring Antarctica.

The cruise line has just announced a sailing that will begin in Florida, a location that's thousands of miles from the South American ports where such cruises usually begin.

The cruise in question will depart on January 25, 2025, and will be a 47-night getaway that will be offered on the 1,432-passenger Volendam, according to a report from The Points Guy. The sailing is segment or a part of its longer Pole-to-Pole world cruise.

The newly announced itinerary means that travelers can get to Antarctica without having to hop on an international flight to a distant port. In fact, if you live within driving distance of Fort Lauderdale, where the cruise will begin, you won’t have to fly at all.
The itinerary will include stops in such ports as Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Santa Marta, Columbia, and Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. The ship will also pass through the Panama Canal. After that there will be a three week segment along Central and South America. That will include additional ports of call in such destinations as Panama, Ecuador and Chile.

Eventually, Voledam will make its way across the Strait of Magellan at the southern tip of South America and then cross the choppy Drake Passage before arriving in Antarctica. Once there, the ship will spend four days sailing around the coast. There will be no landing on the continent for passengers of the Voledam.

Additional stops after sailing around Antarctica include the Falkland Islands and Puerto Madryn, Argentina.

Holland America's 2025 Grand Voyage: Pole to Pole sailing offers seven segmentary itineraries that range from 20 to 100 days in duration, allowing guests to choose the experience that best fits their schedule and interests. The segments go from Fort Lauderdale to Buenos Aires; Buenos Aires to Barcelona; Amsterdam to Fort Lauderdale; Fort Lauderdale to Amsterdam; and Amsterdam or Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale.
