Fall 2026 itineraries

[xiphoid76]

It will be interesting with the next set of cruise releases to see if the Dream really does stay at Port Canaveral - she is our favorite ship and Port Canaveral is the easiest port for us, so we would be very happy. Fantasy is great too, but we miss the Dream. We are most interested in the Adventure - will she add some stops to her itineraries in 2027? If so, we may need to have a return visit to Singapore

I think this could work if they had one ship sail from Seattle or one ship do longer itineraries. Having both ships sail from Vancouver and both doing 7 nights… I don’t see the point of that.

It doesn’t look like Galveston is getting their full time ship until late 2027 since in May 2027 the Dream and Fantasy are both sailing from PC.

It will be interesting which port Wish 4 sails from as I’m now wonder if the Wish could end up in PE.

I think it's purely for volume. They fill the current 7 day itineraries for a high cost. Even if the price drops a little, there's plenty of demand to sail Disney to Alaska.

I'd book immediately if they ever snagged a stop for Glacier Bay.

One of my bucket list trips is spending a week at Denali and Katmai, followed by a southbound cruise. The plan for now is NCL or Celebrity, but if Disney did one of those, I'd rearrange my schedule to be on that ship.

We did a one way on RCCL and spent time in Denali, my only regret is not spending more time there. We only stayed a few days - easily could have happily stayed the week you're planning!

YESSSSSSSS Denali was so amazing on my southbound cruise! And I DIY'ed an AMAZING Fairbanks to Victoria 2 week trip! Don't forget to do the Alaska Railroad, gold star if you can swing it Second best thing about my southbound was the Kenai Fjords tour, do celebrity if they sail out of Seward so you can go a day early and do that tour!! (it is 6 hours, wildlife viewing and MAJOR GLACIER VIEWING, and cheaper than the short cruise excursion)

It just doesn't make sense to port in San Diego and Long Beach. Logistics are much easier with just one or the other and they have chosen San Diego.

They use to sail from Miami too- but then they got a better port agreement at Port Everglades instead. I assume the same happened with San Diego & Long Beach.

I agree...just wish they'd switch from San Diego to Long Beach. It's quite a trek down to San Diego for those of us north of LA.

I'm also not a fan of the San Diego port terminal - they line you up outside in the sun to wait for your port arrival time to be called. I thought my dad was going to faint the last time we went.

 

[JulieBeeRN]

So....your wait is finally over. Did you all find something to book?

Yep! Did you see anything interesting?

 

[DCLMP]

Yep! Did you see anything interesting?

Nothing interesting, but I’m sure will be doing some sailings out of San Diego over the next few years.

Hoping for 2027 WBPC, but since we're still Gold & barely got a room on the 2026 WBPC, it's not likely.

Had hoped for 2026 EBPC because based on Galveston port info thought it would start 11/15, but the 11/6 start doesn't work out for adult DD due to work. Doubtful we'd have been able to get it either.

Also booking b2b Merrytime 7 nights on Destiny, which is a bit of a risk since we haven't done Wish or Treasure yet (doing both this Dec) but adult DD's excited about a new ship, double dip Castaway and Lookout with another Castaway on 2nd cruise, and 2 ports we've never been to.

I don’t think either PC about to open will be as popular as the Apr 2026 PC. That one’s right around Easter so a lot of kids might have time off school, plus there were a TON of rumors that it was going to be the last PC sailing ever for the Magic. People even thought she was retiring since she wasn’t on the schedule after that (turned out she was just getting winterized for Alaska, but no one knew that when bookings first opened).

I just noticed there appears to be a gap for the Wonder Oct 13-18, 2026 while she’s in San Diego. Anyone know what that is? A DVC member cruise, maybe?

There is already a DVC member cruise on the Dream just a few weeks before that though.....this could be the TCM (Turner Classic movie) cruise

A Turner Classic Movies cruise would make sense. This year's cruise is October 8-13, 2025 on the Magic (https://www.tcmcruise.com/) so that would be a similar time of year. Cruising out of California would be convenient for many people in the film industry.

Looking at the EBPC cruise as those dates work for us. We are Platinum and haven't been on the Magic in a long time.

Yeah, that rumor's been coming up for the last few PC releases, but seemed to spread a lot more for the 2026 WBPC.
Had staff telling us during the 2020 WBPC that it was the last ever.
Had staff telling us during the 2023 EBPC that it was the last ever.
At least they won't be telling us that on the 2026 WBPC.

I have noticed a trend that the WBTA is always more expensive than the EBTA. People don’t like the shorter nights…

We paid about $15K for a 1BR on the 2025 EBTA for 2 adults. The 2026 WBTA has concierge starting at $27K for 2 adults so a 1BR will be a lot more than that.

No 7nigbt cruises that go to both islands in March 2027....

 

[o&smom]

For me it means I won't be cruising in Europe on DCL in 27.

We are bummed, too, but can’t put off Europe again. Running out of time with DD. So happy that Europe tends to be so port intensive. We won’t have time to miss what we love about the other ships. Still worried about lack of storage in the staterooms. Maybe we will pack light since the Wish has such an amazing laundry room.

 

[o&smom]

Anyone want to guess the date of when a new thread will be posted for Summer 2027 itineraries? Or should we start that now ?

That’s the one we are waiting for...sure hope that one is not so drawn out.

We have only sailed Disney once a couple years ago. Looking at a sailing next year on Disney Destiny 7 day in October 2026. Is $8500-$9k the average price of a balcony? Have status on Royal and NCL and that is usually what you can get a full suite for. We actually have a 1 bed suite for Europe on a 10 day on Viva for less than that.

 

[Evil Queen 2]

Keeping my fingers crossed that they add some Eastern shore cruises and/or Canadian cruises. Of course they other catch for me is I don't care for the larger ships, much prefer the Wonder and Magic. Thinking about doing the Panama Canal again.

 

[Pens Fan]

Regarding the Wonder, in addition to the missing October sailing that was mentioned above, there is an even bigger gap in April. I don't see anything on the Wonder between 4/07/27 and 4/19/27. I don't believe DVC cruises are ever that long, though I could be wrong about that.

Any ideas?

Quoting myself here - I just looked at DCL's pdf listing all of the new sailings and it appears there are two Wonder cruises (on 4/12 and 4/16) that have not yet been loaded on the website. Or at least they don't show up when I select April and the Wonder. So chock most of this up to Disney's wonderful IT.

There still is a gap between 4/07 and 4/12 but this could easily be explained by a DVC member cruise.
