Summary + What It Means
Disney Cruise Line just announced Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 itineraries, and there's plenty to get excited about. The headline: Disney Wish is sailing to New York City for the first time in years, plus we're seeing new ports, expanded Caribbean options, and fresh deployment for Disney Destiny. Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or planning your first voyage, here's what you need to know and when to book.
Disney Wish Comes to New York (and Bermuda)
After its inaugural European season, Disney Wish will arrive in New York in late September 2027 for seven special voyages. Five of these sailings head to Bermuda's pink sand beaches, with three offering extended six-night itineraries for deeper exploration of the islands. Four-night options are also available for cruisers with tighter schedules. This marks a significant homeport debut for Wish on the U.S. East Coast.
New England and Canada Return, Plus Fresh Panama Stops
Disney Cruise Line hasn't sailed to New England and Canada's Atlantic coast from New York in nearly four years. Fall 2027 brings that experience back, timed perfectly for autumn leaf season. Meanwhile, Disney Magic will run two 14-night repositioning cruises through the Panama Canal in both seasons, with maiden calls in Fuerte Amador (Panama City) and Colon. Repositioning cruises offer extended time aboard for Disney entertainment and dining while you transit between regions.
Expanded Florida Homeports and New Ship Deployments
Disney Destiny makes its Port Canaveral debut in Fall 2027, offering three- to seven-night Bahamas and Western Caribbean sailings. Disney Wish returns to Port Canaveral later in the season for shorter 3- and 4-night trips. Disney Treasure continues its popular Eastern and Western Caribbean rotations with two special voyages (an 8-night Eastern Caribbean and a 6-night Bahamas sailing with two Disney Castaway Cay stops). Disney Dream splits time between Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale, while Disney Fantasy rounds out the Port Canaveral schedule.
