Disney Cruise Line 2027: Itineraries, New Ship, and Booking Tips

Disney Cruise Line’s 2027 lineup is the most ambitious one yet. The Disney Wish is heading to Europe for the first time. A brand-new ship called the Disney Believe is debuting late in the year. And with eight ships already sailing, there are more ports, more itinerary lengths, and more ways to plan a Disney cruise than ever before. If you’ve been thinking about a Disney cruise for your family (or just for you and your favorite travel partner), 2027 is shaping up to be the year to do it.

Here’s the full picture of what’s coming, what’s already bookable, and how to lock in the sailing you want.

The Big Headline: Disney Wish Sails to Europe for the First Time

This is the one that’s making cruise fans lose their minds, and rightfully so. The Disney Wish, which has been sailing Caribbean itineraries out of Port Canaveral since 2022, will reposition to Europe for summer 2027. It kicks off with a 13-night transatlantic crossing departing Port Canaveral on April 25, with stops in Madeira, Gibraltar, and Cartagena before arriving in Barcelona.

From there, the Wish will spend the season sailing Mediterranean, Greek Isles, Norwegian Fjords, and British Isles itineraries from Barcelona, Civitavecchia (Rome’s cruise port), and Southampton. Lengths range from three to ten nights, so there’s flexibility whether you want a quick getaway or an extended voyage.

The Mediterranean itineraries are especially worth a close look. A 7-night sailing from Barcelona hits Palma de Mallorca, Naples, Civitavecchia, and Livorno (your gateway to Florence and Pisa), starting at $4,744 for two guests. If you want to go deeper, a 9-night option adds Malta, Crete, Athens, and Mykonos. And a 10-night Greek Isles sailing includes Rhodes and Messina.

For Northern Europe, the Wish will sail 7-night Norwegian Fjords cruises from Southampton in late July, calling on Bergen, Hellesylt, Olden, Alesund, Stavanger, and Haugesund. There’s also a 7-night British Isles itinerary in September that stops in Glasgow, Liverpool, Belfast, and Portland. If you only have a long weekend, a 3-night Northern Europe sailing visits Rotterdam (close to Amsterdam) starting at $2,241 for two.

Three of these ports are completely new for Disney Cruise Line: Zadar in Croatia, Trieste near Venice in Italy, and Hellesylt in the Norwegian fjords. The Wish is Disney’s most premium ship, and putting it in Europe for the first time is a clear signal that DCL sees enormous demand for these itineraries.

I’ve sailed the Wish in the Caribbean and can tell you the ship itself is stunning. I haven’t done a European sailing with Disney yet, so I’ll be transparent about that. But the combination of the Wish’s dining, entertainment, and family-friendly design with Mediterranean and fjord ports? That’s a bucket-list adventure if there ever was one.

Disney Cruise Line 2027 Itineraries: Ship by Ship

Beyond the Wish in Europe, every ship in the fleet has a full calendar for 2027. Here’s the quick breakdown.

Disney Dream returns to Port Canaveral for summer 2027 with 3- and 4-night Bahamas sailings, including stops at Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. These shorter sailings are great for first-time cruisers or families with younger kids who want the Disney cruise experience without committing to a full week.

Disney Fantasy stays at Port Canaveral with 4- and 5-night Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries, plus a 10-night Southern Caribbean voyage for those who want a longer escape. If you’ve done the standard 3- or 4-night before and want something more immersive, that 10-night option is worth a serious look.

Disney Treasure continues 7-night Eastern and Western Caribbean sailings from Port Canaveral. The Treasure is the newest Florida-based ship and brings its own distinct theming and dining experiences.

Disney Destiny operates from Fort Lauderdale with 3-, 4-, 5-, and 7-night Bahamas and Caribbean sailings. Select voyages visit both Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay, which means two private island stops on a single cruise.

Disney Magic and Disney Wonder are both heading to Alaska from Vancouver, giving families two ship options for glacier-filled 7-night itineraries. The Magic also offers 6- and 8-night sailings for a little more variety. And earlier in the year, the Wonder sails from San Diego through April 2027, while the Magic operates from Galveston, Texas, through spring.

Disney Adventure continues year-round sailings from Singapore for Southeast Asia itineraries.

The Disney Believe: A Brand-New Ship Arriving Late 2027

As if the Wish in Europe wasn’t enough, Disney Cruise Line is launching a fourth Wish-class ship in late 2027. The Disney Believe will be themed around “promise and possibilities,” drawing inspiration from films like Encanto, Frozen, Snow White, Moana, and The Little Mermaid.

Like its sister ships (the Wish, Treasure, and Destiny), the Believe will measure approximately 144,000 gross tons with room for around 4,000 passengers across 1,254 staterooms. It’s powered by liquefied natural gas, one of the cleanest-burning marine fuels available. Specific itineraries and homeport details haven’t been announced yet, but this ship is part of Disney’s broader plan to grow the fleet to 13 ships by 2031.

If you’re not in a rush to book but want to keep the Believe on your radar, watch for itinerary announcements later this year. First sailings tend to sell fast, especially for Heroes who love being among the first aboard.

What’s Already Bookable (and How to Get the Best Price)

Spring 2027 sailings have been on sale since September 2025. Summer 2027 itineraries opened to the general public on February 23, 2026. So everything through September 2027 is live and bookable right now.

A few booking tips that make a real difference. First, earlier booking almost always means lower prices. Disney Cruise Line uses a tiered pricing structure where fares go up as cabins fill. The most popular sailings (short Bahamas, Alaska, and now the Wish in Europe) will climb fastest. Second, if you’re a Castaway Club member (meaning you’ve sailed with DCL before), you get early booking access: Pearl members first, then Platinum, Gold, and Silver, each getting a head start before the public window opens. Third, working with a travel advisor costs you nothing extra on a Disney cruise and can save you real time watching for price drops, onboard credit offers, and category upgrades.
