For many, a tour of a suite costing £30,000 per cruise might be the closest they ever get to experiencing such opulence firsthand. When the opportunity arose for a sneak peek at Disney Cruise Line's stunning Tower Suite, nestled within the funnel of the Disney Wish cruise ship, it was an offer too enticing to refuse.
The Price of Paradise
The cost of the Tower Suite varies depending on the itinerary and duration of the cruise, with prices reportedly starting at £15,000. Despite this hefty price tag, the suite is regularly booked out, a testament to its allure and exclusivity.
Luxury from the Start
The luxury experience begins even before guests step foot inside the suite. A dedicated check-in area, a private entrance, and a lift within the funnel itself ensure a seamless and grand arrival, sparing guests the need to navigate stairs.
Inspired by Moana
Upon entering, it's immediately clear that this is no ordinary cruise ship cabin. The suite draws inspiration from the beloved animated film Moana, featuring stunning artwork and an eye-catching sculpture that welcomes visitors. The main space is a vast open-plan living and dining area, complete with sofas, sideboards, a coffee table, and a large dining table.
The entire room feels larger than many homes, with floor-to-ceiling windows—tinted for privacy—adding to the sense of grandeur. A central island cleverly conceals a retractable TV, ensuring unobstructed views of the ship when not in use.
Dining and Amenities
A compact kitchen includes a well-stocked fridge and a freezer drawer brimming with Mickey choc ice bars, a favorite treat among Disney enthusiasts. For those who prefer privacy, the suite offers extensive in-room dining options. Guests can request dinner from the main restaurants during service hours or have the all-inclusive Palo brunch delivered to their room—an adults-only, all-you-can-eat affair known for its generous portions.
Spacious Accommodations
The Tower Suite sleeps up to eight guests across two floors, featuring two master bedrooms, a children's room with bunk beds, and an additional room that can serve as either another bedroom or a library. Unlike typical cruise ship cabins, which often require inventive space-saving solutions, this suite offers ample room. The bedrooms are spacious, rivaling some hotel rooms, but the real highlight is the walk-in wardrobes—so large they could challenge even the most extensive wardrobe.
Lavish Bathrooms
The bathrooms are nothing short of spectacular, resembling upscale spa spaces with plush robes, enormous freestanding tubs, and generous showers. Marble finishes, expansive mirrors, and Disney toiletries complete the luxurious experience.
Exclusive Concierge Benefits
Guests booking the Tower Suite gain access to the Concierge desk, with staff available to arrange shore excursions, secure restaurant bookings, or assist with onboard activities. Exclusive Concierge areas include a lounge and sun deck. A notable perk for cruise enthusiasts is the complimentary bottled water, a precious commodity on cruise ships.
Beyond the Suite
While the Tower Suite is a dream for many, the Disney Wish offers a wide selection of other stunning staterooms at more accessible price points, such as the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with a verandah. Beyond accommodations, the ship delivers an action-packed schedule with performances, trivia competitions, deck celebrations, live entertainment, West End-calibre productions, and the AquaMouse water slide. Highlights include a Star Wars-themed bar, a pirates-inspired pub, and fantastic dining venues like an interactive Frozen meal experience.
