If you thought Disney Cruises were just for kids, Matt and Emma Willis are here to shatter that illusion— with a look at the Disney Fantasy.
Fresh off their very first Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy (which is sailing into the UK for its debut European summer season this July), the couple went head-to-head in a hilarious battle to become the Ultimate Disney Shipmate. And yes, there were challenges. Surprise ones. Set by their celebrity mates. We’re talking Coleen Rooney, Rob Beckett, Alison Hammond, Janette Manrara, and Romesh Ranganathan—all popping in with cheeky video cameos to set them wild and whimsical tasks.
From pirate roleplay (Matt may have gotten too into it) to character selfies, decadent food tastings, and crafting towel animals like their cruise life depended on it, the competition was fierce, and the chaos was absolutely Disney-level delightful.
But it wasn’t all rivalry. The pair managed to sneak in some adults-only luxury too—spa sessions, romantic dinners, and dreamy ocean views aboard the Disney Fantasy that scream ultimate couple goals.
“This one was like stepping into another world,” says Emma. “You feel like a kid again, in the best way.”
Matt agrees… sort of. “I never thought I’d be that guy doing towel origami, but somehow, Disney Cruise Line got me fully on board.”
Catch their fast-paced, laugh-out-loud adventure now on Disney UK’s official YouTube channel, and get ready to see why this isn’t just a cruise. It’s a floating Disney playground of magic, mayhem, and memories.
