Ship choice moves your fare almost as much as timing does. The Disney Magic costs $538 a night for two guests; the Disney Wish costs $813 — a 51% difference for the same number of nights on the same cruise line.
Here are all eight ships from 919 sailings, ranked by what an inside cabin actually costs per night.

The Disney Adventure is a different market
At $421 a night the Adventure looks like the bargain of the fleet, and on fare alone it is — but it sails from Singapore. For most North American readers, flights erase the saving several times over. Exclude it and the fleet median rises from $662 to $697 a night, which is the number to plan against if you are cruising from a US port.
If you are in Asia-Pacific, the Adventure is genuinely the cheapest way onto a Disney ship by a wide margin.
The classic ships are the value play
The Magic ($538) and Wonder ($575) are the two cheapest ships you can sail from a US port, and it is not close. They are smaller and older — no AquaDuck, no AquaMouse, fewer dining rooms — but the rotational dining, the shows, the kids clubs and the service are the same product.
For a first Disney cruise where you are unsure whether the premium is worth it, the Wonder at $575 a night is the least expensive way to find out. It is also the Alaska ship, which is where those fares climb.
You pay for new
The three most expensive ships per night — Wish ($813), Destiny ($785) and Dream ($750) — include the two newest Wish-class ships. The Wish is the most expensive ship in the fleet per night despite not having the highest median fare, because it concentrates on 3- and 4-night Bahamian sailings priced at a premium.
Whether that premium buys enough is a real question: see how the ships compare.
Cheapest fares actually seen
The "cheapest seen" column is the lowest inside fare in the whole dataset for that ship, not a typical price. The Magic at $1,317 and the Dream at $1,402 are the two lowest entry points from a US port. The Treasure at $3,566 is the highest floor in the fleet — there is no cheap Treasure sailing.
Combine ship with timing for the biggest effect: a Magic sailing in October is a different order of price from a Wish sailing in June. See the cheapest months, or filter both at once in the price tracker.

Every figure is the median — the middle sailing, not an average, so one $49,000 concierge suite can't drag it around. Prices are the total for two guests including taxes and fees, which is how Disney quotes them. Fares move constantly; check the tracker for today's.*
