Water slides are prevalent on cruise ships; however, the AquaDuck stands out as the only water coaster with roller-coaster-like drops and g-forces. Located on the top decks of the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, AquaDuck is a signature attraction in the Disney Cruise Line fleet.

Circle the Top Deck

The 765-foot-long AquaDuck is elevated high above Deck 11 on tall stilts. This water coaster circles the ship in a transparent acrylic tube, with water jets propelling riders through uphill sections. Most of the ride happens in a clear tube, while a section is enclosed as it travels through the ship’s forward funnel.

Ride Solo or With a Friend

Riders sit on rubber rafts that accommodate two people. Since most of the ride occurs in a transparent acrylic tube, riders can enjoy views of the surroundings. Riders must follow these key guidelines:

• Kids must be at least 42 inches tall to ride the AquaDuck.
• Kids who meet the height requirement but are under seven years old must be accompanied by another rider at least 14 years old.
• Kids must be at least 54 inches tall to ride alone.

Zoom Over the Ship’s Edge

After departing from the loading area, the raft accelerates 12 feet out over the edge of the ship, reaching a height of 150 feet above the water.

Take in the View

Thanks to the AquaDuck’s transparent tube, riders can enjoy vistas of the ship’s upper deck and panoramic views of the ocean.

Sit Back and Enjoy the Ride

The AquaDuck’s gentle slope allows riders to enjoy a leisurely journey around the ship. The entire ride takes just over a minute to complete.

Check out the Fun Below

While enjoying the AquaDuck ride, participants can survey the top deck of the Disney Dream, featuring two family pools, a yellow slide at the Mickey Pool, a shaded water splash area for young children, and Disney movies displayed on the big screen.

Wave at Family and Friends

Here are some additional fun facts:

• The AquaDuck uses approximately 10,000 gallons of water per minute.
• In the Edge, the tweens’ lounge, several windows allow kids to catch a glimpse of AquaDuck riders as they zoom past.
• At night, the AquaDuck lights up, offering a colorful and different experience on the ride.

Come in for a Gentle Splashdown

At the conclusion of the ride, the AquaDuck emerges from the tube and gently splashes down into a landing pool, leaving riders nearly dry upon exiting the raft.
