Disney Cruise Line has unveiled its Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 itineraries, and it is one of the most exciting releases in recent memory. Not because of one big headline, but because of several. New York returns as a homeport. The Disney Wish will sail from the city that never sleeps. And Disney Cruise Line ventures into an entirely new region with sailings from Singapore. Families sailing from New York, San Diego, Galveston, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral all have new adventures ahead.

At Practically Perfect Vacations, our advisors have already been digging into the details so your family doesn’t have to. Here’s what stood out.
New York Is Back, and the Disney Wish Is Coming With It
For East Coast families, this is the headline that matters most. The Disney Wish will homeport in New York, opening up 4, 5, 6 and 8 night Bermuda escapes, 5, 6 and 7 night Canadian coastal adventures to ports like Charlottetown, Halifax and Saint John (with one sailing adding a stop in Boston), and a 12 night Westbound Transatlantic crossing from Southampton, England, all the way to New York. No flight to Florida required. Just a straightforward trip to the pier and a Disney vacation that starts the moment you step aboard.
A Brand New Homeport: Singapore
Disney Cruise Line is also setting sail from its newest homeport, Singapore, aboard the Disney Adventure. These 3 and 4 night getaways feature themed dining, the longest roller coaster at sea and lively deck parties, with select 4 night sailings stopping in Langkawi, Malaysia. It’s a first for the brand, and a sign of just how far “escape the busy” can take a family.
Featured Destinations at a Glance
The Bahamas and Caribbean remain the classic choice, with 3 to 8 night sailings from Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale stopping at Nassau, Disney Castaway Cay and the newer Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. On the West Coast, San Diego continues as a featured port, sending families on 3 to 7 night Baja California and Mexican Riviera cruises to Catalina Island, Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlán. A 4 night Pacific Coast cruise between Vancouver and San Diego offers dramatic coastal scenery alongside the usual deck parties and Broadway style shows. And for families craving something truly bucket list, a 14 night Panama Canal voyage sails from San Diego or Galveston, with maiden calls to Fuerte Amador and Colón on select sailings.
Themed Cruises for Every Season
Fall and winter sailings bring their own kind of magic. Halloween on the High Seas fills select fall cruises with not so scary thrills and bewitching décor, while Very Merrytime Cruises bring holiday crafts, festive character appearances and merry activities for the whole family. Families who love building traditions around travel will want to watch these dates closely.
