Disney Cruise Line began their magical cruises when they first started operating in 1998 with their first ship, The Disney Magic. Their second ship, The Disney Wonder followed suit soon after in 1999 and although the two remain the only vessels in the cruise line's entire fleet, the company has announced that in 2011 and 2012 two new ships will be added. This means for future employees that in the upcoming years a significant number of jobs will need to be filled in order to operate the new boats. With cruises that are organized and planned so that adults and children can both enjoy cruising, some cruises itineraries include stops at Disney World before heading to the sandy beaches and clear waters of the Caribbean. While Disney cruises also include some itineraries that are more adult in nature, every cruise will stop at Castaway Cay, Disney's private island; equipped with island hotel and private beaches.
