Enchanting Nightlife

When the sun falls behind the ocean horizon, that’s when After Hours comes to life aboard the Disney Wonder. A lineup of clubs includes revamped venues for dancing, comedy and variety shows.

Crown & Fin Pub

The adult district includes a pub that invites guests to take a jaunt to an authentic English tavern. Crown & Fin Pub dons dark woods, plush leather furniture and brass accents that are reminiscent of a friendly neighborhood pub. A selection of British and specialty beers create the perfect pub atmosphere, where adult guests can sip a pint or cocktail, or sample a brew made especially for the pub.

Observant guests may discover this is no ordinary pub. Subtle nods to classic Disney films set in London can be found in artwork, props and other bits ‘n bobs throughout the space. Brilliant stories of all sorts will be celebrated at the pub, whether those tales be true, tall or flat-out mad.
