When do we expect 2024 Europe Itineraries to come out?

I am hoping for the transatlantic in May 2024. Anyone who has done it, how did you get good one way airfare back?

We loved our transatlantic! It was a great cruise- relaxing for the first half, excursions and sights for the second half and no jet lag. We used airline/ credit card points to book award flights back.

Have you tried the "multi city" option when looking for airfare?. (Assuming you need to fly both directions but from different cities.). In the past, others have mentioned using DCL airfare and it was less expensive than buying it on their own.

One way airfares between North America and Europe tend to be more expensive than returns. TAP (from Portugal) is an exception. Otherwise using miles (possibly gotten through a credit card signing bonus) might be your best bet. And look at what price DCL offers. Google flights is a good way to search as you can enter multiple airports to search for. You can even do a search like New York to Europe with them.

If you have a travel agent you could check with them and see if there are any consolidator or cruise fares available. We got a really good cruise fare on British Airways for our flight to London for our transatlantic in 2019.

If you read about the grindadráp, then perhaps you'll understand why Disney would not want to sail to the Faroes and explain that custom to children. Not exactly magical...

Well they wouldnt have to explain it now would they?

plus if that was the reason it would be completely hypocritcal given disney has a theme park in Japan (and lets not even talk about the more serious violations against humans in some of the other locations disney currently has theme parks).

It's actually the Passenger Vessel Act that prevents it and goes way beyond taxes and labor. The ship has to "mostly" be built in the US.

Or get a special law passed. There’s a really interesting YouTube video that explains how NCL got into Hawaii.

For one way fare, Condor is good, so is TAP and sometimes Iberia. Also Westjet.

all sad but true points

Apologies if this is too off-topic. I'm interested in the Europe 2024 (early summer) itineraries like OP, but curious about how the additional ships coming in in 2024/25 might impact things.

Are more ships/itineraries expected in Europe in 2025 because of additional inventory? For example, would Disney reposition a ship to Europe earlier in the spring or later in the fall? I might wait on 2024 if 2025 has a broader calendar.

Thanks for any thoughts! I'd also welcome any new speculation about when Europe 2024 cruises will be released I read an earlier post with some mystery coordinates for European ports, but couldn't tell if that meant itineraries were imminent.

I’m hoping that once the Treasure is sailing that Disney adds a few weeks onto their Europe itineraries, even if they don’t bring a second ship over. Most other big cruise lines have a longer Europe season and with 6/7 ships I think Disney could do it and be successful.

(I don’t know why I have everything in grey )
