Fall 2026 itineraries

[Peaseblossom36]

We would love to do a NYC cruise up to Canada! s

I have cruised out of NYC 4 times. The last time in 2023 it stopped in Bermuda and Tortola ending in Puerto Rico.

I believe they have done sailings in the past where they stopped at Cape Cananveral (WDW), Nassau and CC.

I have cruised to St. Johns, NB, Canada from NYC and Bermuda (2 Nights at the Wharf), plus my first cruise in 2012 to nowhere. This was a 2 night cruise that just left NYC and went out into the Atlantic. Very fun.

I would love to see NYC again.

I wish they would do the Canada cruises! We had to cancel ours back in 2020 so would love the chance to actually go.

I very much doubt we will get anything about summer 2027 before fall 2026 is even on sale.They want people to book the newly released itineraries so they won't make announcements that might make people decide to wait for a future release.

I think the most we get from D23 for DCL is the name of a ship.I don't think they'll want to highlight the failure of the Australia cruises and the signs do point to the removal of Australia as the reason for the long wait for the announcement.

Aug 12-14 I think we will get Fall 2026, with them on sale the following week (Aug 18-22)

D23 is Aug 29-31st. I think we will get more from DCL during D23 than just the ship name, (the Wish is likely going to Europe in 2027 as it has a dry dock set for Fall of 2027, and Galveston port has already confirmed year round starting in 2027). D23 (even Destination D23 which does the smaller announcements) is always about hyping what is next for the company. They tend to focus on the future (like Cars & Villains coming to MK) without worrying that it might make people hold off on spending their vacation dollars now. I also do not see how sharing already set port agreements (like Galveston), and even possibly hyping a NYC fall for 2027 would draw eyes to Australia not selling well vs showing how they are pivoting to more profitable locations. D23 is having a DCL presentation- they need more than a name of a single ship.

RE: Disney Wish in Europe - 2027... yes the ship is definitely due for a drydock in 2027 and as such, there has been very strong rumours that it may be headed to Europe, but Grand Bahama Shipyard, which DCL has also used in the past is set to open a brand new dock in January 2026, so I would not discount that... That said, the counter argument is that the Port of Barcelona and Roma currently give a discount on some fees to LNG operated ships... so why not.

When she needs a drydock, surely they'll make a season of that in Europe, no?

Can drydock in Bahamas easily if major retrofits not being done.

Singapore is an 8 hours flight from australia. Its like saying european cruises are reducing demand for florida cruises. Ps. Australians dont like Singapore. Its a very boring city.

I agree Singapore is lackluster tbh. It’s a corporate city. Very small place. The main pastimes there seem to be shopping and eating. Not things we spend much time on. And 95% of the shopping is the same as any upscale mall in the US. It’s a long way to fly for a LV bag. Or a knock off disney cruise lol.

When the Dream was sailing the 3/4-night Bahamian cruises, how many seasons in Europe did it do? The Wish is the new Dream.

I would argue a rapidly expanding fleet means that DCL can switch things up more easily. Wish going to Europe makes sense from a certain view- LNG credits and also a new ship for that market. The same old same old with the Dream is not going to pull the same number of eyeballs as a the Wish in Europe would.

Drydock don’t need to happen in Europe. Plenty of options closer by.

I also think mixing it up in Europe each year will attract more Brits for those short cruises they do from Southampton too. I’ve already seen some people say they don’t want to sail the Dream again. If they rotated through the Dream class and Wish class they could attract repeat cruisers who don’t want to see the same shows each year.

Remember at this time, you can't still book November 2026 and December 2026 WDW packages. Kind of guessing that both windows go online together whenever they do.

U can in the uk. I booked December 2026 for WDW at the start of this year

I was just about to say something similar.

I did actually point out the other day when someone said people aren't planning 16+ months in advance, that the UK WDW free dining offer tends to drop at end of April with bookings through to December the next year which means people are potentially booking 20 months ahead.

The first time they sailed from NYC was in the fall of 2016 stopping at Cape Canaveral. We live in NY and we sailed that one also. I would love it if they brought it back in Fall, 2026.

We were actually married on the Magic that sailed from NYC to Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Castaway Cay. That was in June 2012.

I would love a NYC sailing to Bermuda.

 

[Moonspinner]

I think the Wish will go to Galveston. Easy LNG port.

I hope the Magic or the Wonder make their home in FLL, and that at least one non-Triton class ship remains in PC - at least until the new smaller ships come online.

My understanding is that Breast impressed DCL with how they handled the ships in 2021 and that’s the reason they got both Dream and Fantasy. Much better than the mess Cadiz created on the Magic.
