Emma Willis Explains Why She and Matt Chose a Disney Cruise Without the Kids
In a recent exclusive interview with MailOnline, Emma Willis shared her experience of taking a Disney Cruise without her children, which sparked mixed emotions in the family. Emma, 49, and her husband Matt’s decision to embark on Disney Fantasy’s adults-only trip left their "Disney-obsessed" kids—Isabelle, 15; Ace, 12; and Trixie, 8—feeling upset. According to Emma, their children couldn’t comprehend how their parents could enjoy a cruise around the Caribbean without them.
The couple had long desired a cruise and seized the opportunity during term-time, making it impractical to bring the kids. Emma emphasized the importance of maintaining their relationship as a couple amid parenting. "It’s crucial to remember where your family began," she noted.
Initially skeptical about enjoying a Disney cruise without children, Emma was pleasantly surprised by the array of adult-oriented offerings aboard the ship, including fine dining, quiz nights, and spa treatments. They reveled in the adult-only spaces yet embraced the inherent Disney charm. Emma described the magical experience of Pirate Night, where Matt donned a pirate costume, showcasing their fun-filled moments as a couple.
Although they loved their time away, Emma humorously remarked that they will likely take their children on the next cruise, as “they’re so mad!” The Disney cruise will set sail from Southampton around Europe in August, making it easier for the family to partake together.
