A Disney Cruise is already packed with enchanting activities and magical moments, but if you’re looking for an extra layer of fun and excitement, why not add a scavenger hunt to your trip? I created two different Disney Cruise scavenger hunt challenges as part of our fish extender gifts and I’ve got the free printables to share with you!
What is a Disney Cruise Scavenger Hunt?
A scavenger hunt involves searching for specific items around the cruise ship. It’s an engaging way to explore every corner of your Disney cruise, meet new people, and enjoy some interactive fun.
There are countless hidden gems (and hidden Mickey’s) and unique spots on a Disney Cruise, making it the perfect setting for a scavenger hunt.
And even better, for a photo scavenger hunt too, where you take photos of the items on the list instead. This is a great way to capture some special memories of your cruise experience.
Adding Scavenger Hunt Cards to Your Fish Extender Gifts
I mentioned that I created these printable Disney cruise scavenger hunt cards for our Fish Extender gifts. Fish Extenders are a popular tradition on Disney Cruises where families exchange small gifts by hanging decorative pockets outside their staterooms where the gifts are placed.
You can learn all about the Disney cruise fish extender gift exchange in our comprehensive guide. You can also get loads of fish extender gift ideas if you’re planning for your own cruise.
Including a scavenger hunt as part of your Fish Extender gift can be a fun activity for fellow cruisers. It’s an interactive gift that encourages families to explore the ship and engage in some friendly competition too.
The families in our fish extender group all said they loved them and had a lot of fun ticking everything off.
Our Free Printable Scavenger Hunts
I created two different Disney Cruiseline scavenger hunts that you can download and print for free:
- Standard Disney Cruise Scavenger Hunt
- This scavenger hunt includes a list of items and locations to find around the ship. It’s perfect for younger children and families who enjoy a more traditional hunt.
- Photo Disney Cruise Scavenger Hunt
- This hunt adds an extra twist by requiring participants to take photos of specific items or complete certain tasks. It’s great for teens and adults who have their own devices and love taking pictures and capturing memories.
You can get both versions in our free printable library (along with loads of other travel printables).
How To Print The Scavenger Hunt Cards
I have included both high-resolution image files and PDF files for the scavenger hunt cards, in the standard 4×6 photo size.
You can either print them at home on your computer using either format, using photo paper or 4×6 cardstock. I used matte photo paper.
Or you can print them via your local (or online) photo lab as you would with photographs.
There are also PNG versions of 2 to a page in case you want mini scavenger hunt cards.
