Summer Of 2026

[jeffann6]

Any thoughts on when Disney would start releasing dates for August of 2026?

Yes, whenever they feel like it and it suits their plan. I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but this information would only be known to insiders, which would not be allowed to publish here.

While there has been historical patterns to schedule release, the last schedule release changed that a bit. Also, as the fleet expands, DCL may choose to change how/when they release their schedule.

Those taking an educated guess based on historical patterns are suggesting February or March. Now, some are hoping it could be earlier based on the fact the DCL released two "seasons" worth of cruise back in June, skipping their traditional October scheduled release for Early (winter) sailings

Thank you for sharing this - very informative
We can't wait to book another Med cruise in the summer of 2026 so I'll be watching for the release

Any guesses (educated or not) as to what ship/s will be in Europe for the summer of 2026?

Probably the Dream or Fantasy

The Dream is listed on the port schedule for Piraeus.

You and me both. Even though we already went last year I'm ready to go again. It may take me that long to save
up. lol

I want to book for August in 2026. Have two place keepers and want to do another back to back in the Caribbean.

Also when on the Fantasy Just last month a Cast member informed me that at some point in the near future that she will head over to Europe.

This will be our first Alaskan cruise and I cannot wait.

A lot of cruise lines are doing "eclipse" cruises or advertising the eclipse on that voyage. I guess the eclipse will be visible over Iceland, Greenland, Spain and parts of the Med. I wonder if Disney will do something similar. The eclipse is Aug 12.

Us too! We haven't even been on our first cruise yet and we are planning our second

We are on the Fantasy in January and hoping to book a couple of placeholders for ourselves and my parents to use on a 2026 Alaska cruise. So exciting!

You will get addicted, lol. I've only been 3 and would love to cruise more but my husband only wants to go once a year. We will be on the Fantasy in February!

If we want to talk about pets... we have one horse, two donkeys, seven, goats, seven dogs, seven cats, 35 +/- chickens and a ground hog that is living on our property. Talk about difficult to set up care when I want to cruise....

We were just on the Fantasy and the dinner rations were 1,2,3,1,2,3,1. I will need to call to get the current rotation and shows before I book, OMG the wait is killing me.
