Frozen cruises. Now there’s an oxymoron. With the exception of adventurous expeditions to the Poles, cruises are generally for warm-weather people. Lie on the \"Disney<\/a>deck, swim in the pool, sit in the moonlight on the balcony. None of these things works on a “frozen cruise.”<\/p>\n

Unless it’s Disney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everybody knows Frozen<\/i>, the movie\u2026while we did hear a movie critic claim she had never heard “Do You Want To Build A Snowman?”<\/i> Perhaps she doesn’t get out much. So okay, almost everybody has heard of Frozen<\/i>\u2026the movie, the music, the characters. To the surprise of no one, Frozen<\/i> characters are going on Disney ships.<\/p>\n

\"Anna<\/a>No\u00a0 dates yet, but one Florida travel agency is reporting that Princess Anna and Queen Elsa will be making appearances on three of Disney’s four ships: the Magic<\/a>, the Wonder<\/a> and the Fantasy<\/a>. It will be on cruises to the Caribbean and \u2014 here’s another shocker \u2014 Alaska<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disney, meanwhile, is reporting that for the first time it will be cruising to Scotland, Iceland and Norway, the animated “country” that was the movie’s set\u2026and the impact \"Frozen<\/a>on the real Norway has been nothing short of astounding. Disney is implementing guided tours called “A Full Frozen Package” that include fjord visits, trout fishing and a visit to Bergen<\/a>. Since the movie’s release, traffic to the VisitNorway<\/a> website has tripled, traffic is up 52 per cent on Norwegian Air Shuttle<\/a>, searches for Norwegian flights are up 153 per cent and hotel bookings are up 37 per cent.<\/p>\n

Frozenmania is widespread. We know people who like everything Frozen<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In a manner of speaking, that is.<\/p>\n
