Greetings, Geri, and welcome to planDisney! I love that you're looking to set sail with Disney Cruise Line next spring. I'm happy to help as you begin planning your adventure.
Geri, you have two departure ports in Florida to choose from:
Fort Lauderdale and
Port Canaveral. The best way to explore available cruises is to use the search feature on the
Disney Cruise Line website. You can set "April 2027" as your date, and the two Florida locations as your departure ports. There are other filters if you want to specify your destination, how many nights you'd like to sail, and even which ships you prefer. Once you click the "View Dates" button, simply scroll down the page to view information for all the cruise itineraries that match your search parameters.
I'm currently seeing itineraries out of Florida for late-April 2027 aboard the Disney Wish, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Destiny. Cruise lengths vary slightly for each ship, ranging from 3 nights to 5 nights. I also see a 7-night cruise aboard the Disney Treasure, and a 13-night transatlantic cruise aboard the Disney Wish. All that to say, you have plenty of exciting options to choose from!
As you narrow things down, it can be helpful to compare the departure port, dates, length, ports of call, ship, and stateroom prices. Looking at these details together can help you decide which itineraries you are most interested in.
Each ship in the
Disney Cruise Line fleet is unique. They have distinct theming, a mix of Main Dining locations and entertainment offerings, lounges, and more. I recommend taking a look at each one to see if any stand out to you. The
Disney Destiny is one of the newer ships, weaving together stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. If you have any superhero fans in your party, this ship is a fantastic choice!
The departure port you choose will depend on whether you want to experience a specific ship or itinerary. It looks like the late-April cruises from Fort Lauderdale are with the Disney Destiny. You'll want to sail from Port Canaveral if you're interested in one of the other ships. This is also a good option if you're planning to spend some time at
Walt Disney World before or after your cruise – Port Canaveral is about an hour away.
Geri, I hope you have a fun time exploring your options and planning a magical cruise for next year. If you think of any other questions, please reach out – we're always happy to help here at planDisney!
