Ahoy, Lee! Welcome to planDisney, where we aim to answer all of your Disney Cruise Line planning questions to help ensure smooth sailing for you and your party.
The
itineraries for both Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 were announced in August 2025 with early bookings for select
Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members opening on August 25, 2025, and general bookings opening on September 2, 2025. That means that all of the Disney Cruise Line
December 2026 sailings are currently available for booking. Unfortunately, there are no European cruises scheduled for the month of December, but there are several other itineraries available, including the warm waters of the Caribbean and even sailings aboard the
brand-new Disney Adventure in Singapore.
If you are specifically looking for a European sailing, there are cruises scheduled from May to September 2026 that depart from Southampton, Barcelona, and Civitavecchia (Rome). Some itineraries, including the European options like the British Isles, Mediterranean, and Norwegian Fjords, only operate seasonally, so the dates are limited to certain months of the year. For the most up to date options, keep checking the
Europe Cruise Itineraries section of the
Disney Cruise Line website.
Finally, if you are looking for information on the December 2026 Danube River Cruise or Rhine River Cruise options, those are designated as “
small ship adventures” through
Adventures by Disney and are not part of the Disney Cruise Line fleet. Any questions regarding those types of trips need to be
directed to Adventures by Disney directly.
As our friends from “Up” like to remind us: “Adventure is out there!” Since there are so many different Disney vacation options available for December 2026, I’m sure that you will be able to find the perfect fit just for you. Whether you just want to set sail for adventure, set sail specifically aboard the new Disney Adventure, or choose to explore the world with Adventures by Disney, there are plenty of Disney memories waiting to be made for you this year and beyond.
