New dates for 2026 staring to appear

[Cfabar1]

Sad there is no long Alaska cruise... Would have been interested in a few more ports and a longer trip if going all that way...

 

[AquaDame]

Still hoping they pick up a stop in glacier bay some day….

I'm a little disappointed, too. I was really hoping there would be a ship up in NYC or northern east coast next summer.

I was also really hoping for an interesting Solar Eclipse cruise, but it's just a 4-night out of London with a stop in Bilboa. I suspect it probably will be positioned to see the Eclipse, but I was hoping for a more interesting itinerary. Ah, well, guess that means I'm keeping our plans to sail RCCL next summer!

I wish the ABD river cruises were Disney ships so they could count towards my Castaway Club status. I might've considered a shorter DCL cruise in late May / early June, but I'm super tempted to do the DVC First Wave sailing on the Rhone River Cruise in France.

I wish if they were sending a second ship to Alaska that they would have considered one-way itineraries. We'd likely consider it then, as it would give us a chance to spend time in Alaska and visit Denali before or after the cruise.

I saw a Christmas movie that showcased it last year, it looked lovely. This would be a great cruise for us

I actually think the Norwegian itineraries for 2026 are slightly better than the recent years. I could be interested as well.

We were looking at these too until I compared prices with Celebrity. I love DCL but yikes!

When Disney announced that the Magic was going West in 2026, I figured this was a likely option. Mexico isn't very profitable and Hawaii has logistical issues to do a full sailing season (plus it might be hard on the Magic to do all those consecutive 14 night sailings).

I held out hope that the Wonder would return East but didn't think it was likely. This definitely feels like the beginning of their farewell tours though.

I've noticed a lot of cruise lines are selling Med eclipse cruises.

I wonder why they think they need two ships in Alaska doing the same itinerary.

They must be selling well for them.

I spent hours yesterday picking the best itinerary and researching stateroom options. It’s always a little trickier for us on Dream or Fantasy. Then I realized we already had WBPC booked for 2026! Just have to wait for summer 2027.

Even though the Wonder is showing up in Australia for 2026/2027, I’m hoping they send the Magic there instead. It would allow the Wonder to come east again which she hasn’t done for a while.

It will be the Wonder for AUS, I'm certain. Magic ends Alaska on Sept 17, Wonder doesn't end til Sept 28 and the first time she appears on the Sydney port schedule is Oct 22, which pretty much lines up with the Van to Hawaii cruise followed by the trans Pacific. Having said that we are planning to book the Van to Hawaii cruise for Fall 2026 and I'd be happy with either the Wonder or Magic

Darn those already booked cruises!!

(My Celebrity was booked under a non-refundable deposit, so in theory I *could* change it, but it is an extra $100 for every change. Norway on Celebrity Apex it shall be for summer 2026.)

That may change with two ships.

What were thinking about doing?

Now that I looked at it more closely we may be interested as well. Although I was really hoping
they combine with Iceland like in past. Otherwise I thought this was a rather Ho Hum offering
of "new" itineraries.

Yes, I just realized what kind of prices they want and lost all interest…

Planning to book the Destiny in Sept 2026

 

[Cfabar1]

We are likely to continue doing cruises September only - MAYBE a short Disney Wish 3 night cruise as well in May/Early June...

Prices are just getting too high to justify for the summer travel....
