Ahoy, Lucy! Welcome to planDisney and thanks for bringing us your Disney Cruise Line question. Whether you are looking to set sail in a few weeks or a few years, we are always happy to help with the planning of your next great adventure at sea.
Disney Cruise Line just
announced the Summer 2027 itineraries this past week and general bookings for sailings through September 2027 are scheduled to open on February 23, 2026. Unfortunately, that means that you will have to wait a while longer for the April and May 2028 dates to be released. The months you are looking for should be announced as part of the Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 itineraries. Although there is no official date as to when that announcement is expected, it should be made toward the end of the summer. For reference, both the
Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 itineraries were announced together in August 2025 with general bookings opening on September 2, 2025, so a similar timeframe is expected again this year.
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!
Disney Cruise Line truly is where magic meets the sea, so I hope you are able to find the perfect itinerary for a sailing in 2028 once the dates are released. As you continue making plans, feel free to come back to planDisney with any other questions. Happy sailing!
