Ahoy there, Abigail, and welcome to planDisney! I can already feel your excitement for planning ahead, and as someone who is always dreaming of my next Disney Cruise, I am delighted to help you navigate the calendar a bit.
While Disney Cruise Line does not publish an official schedule for itinerary release dates, we can look to patterns from previous years for guidance. Historically, new sailings are announced about thirteen to eighteen months before departure. For example, the Fall 2025 itineraries were revealed in June 2024. Using that timeline as a guide, I would expect the 2027 holiday season cruises to appear sometime in the spring or summer of 2026. That said, timing can shift from year to year, so it is always wise to stay ready for the big announcement.
If you are a
Castaway Club member, here is a fun perk. Once new itineraries are released, you will have the chance to book early ahead of the general public based on your membership level. This is especially helpful for popular sailings like holiday cruises or special themed voyages. It is one of my favorite Castaway Club benefits, right up there with the welcome back gift that awaits us in our stateroom on embarkation day.
My best advice is to keep an eye on both the Disney Cruise Line website and the Disney Parks Blog, since those are the first places to share new itinerary announcements. And of course, a little inbox magic might appear as well if you are
subscribed to Disney Cruise Line emails.
I hope this helps you chart your course toward an unforgettable holiday at sea in 2027, Abigail. If any other questions pop up as you plan, I hope you will sail back to us here at
planDisney.
Bon voyage,
Sami
