Welcome to planDisney and the first step towards creating some magical memories aboard Disney Cruise Line! It sounds like this will be your first sailing with the Disney fleet, so I’m happy to point you in the right direction.
As of today, Disney Cruise Line has only released the itineraries for early 2027 sailings. Historically,
Southampton sailings have been seasonal offerings that only take place during the summer months. For example, the schedule for
2026 includes European Discovery Sailings throughout August that allow you to set sail directly from Southampton aboard the beautiful Disney Dream on either a “3-Night Weekend of Wonder” or a “4-Night Sunny Adventure” holiday. These sailings provide the opportunity to experience unparalleled Disney magic during days at sea, while also including a stop in a fan-favorite European destination as part of their itinerary. The dates for August 2026 include sailings to: Rotterdam, Netherlands; Zeebrugge, Belgium; and La Coruña or Bilbao, Spain.
Unfortunately, there is no official date right now as to when the Summer 2027 itineraries will be released, but you can expect that the announcement will be made soon with booking dates opening shortly thereafter. For reference, Disney Cruise Line released the 2026 Summer itineraries in early February 2025 and reservations started on February 17, 2025, so definitely be on the lookout within the next month or two for the schedule to be released.
The most accurate and up-to-date information can always be found on the
Disney Cruise Line website regarding available itineraries. However, as a resident of the UK, you can also use the
official Disney Holidays website as a starting point since it is run by the Walt Disney Travel Company and covers vacation planning for Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Disney Cruise Line. I highly recommend making sure that you are signed up for the
official email updates specifically for those guests living in the United Kingdom and Ireland because you never know what special offers or news may be sent directly to your inbox.
As the new itineraries are released, I hope you find the perfect holiday sailing with Disney Cruise Line from Southampton next year. My planDisney friends and I are always happy to help answer any other questions that may arise during your planning. Happy sailing!
