Hello, Umeki! Welcome to planDisney, where my fellow panelists and I are happy that you sailed our way with your question.
I have exciting news: Disney Cruise Line just shared
itineraries through spring of 2028, and early booking dates begin this week for
Castaway Club Members and on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, for the general public. That means that with this itinerary release, some itineraries are available to book 19 months in advance.
To stay in the know about the latest itinerary releases and booking dates, you can sign up to
receive email updates from Disney Cruise Line. The
Disney Believe is set to begin sailing in late 2027, and I'm guessing we'll hear more about itineraries, sail dates, and when bookings will open in the next few months.
There are definitely more updates to come, but we do know that the Disney Believe will feature Moana in the Grand Hall and the art renderings look beautiful. The stern will look very playful with Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story decorating the back of the ship. The theme of the ship is "promise and possibilities," and I cannot wait to see what that will translate into as far as themed spaces, engaging activities, and exciting entertainment onboard.
Umeki, if you have more questions for us or need some help choosing what cruise to book, let us know! We're here for you.
Happy Planning,
Adrianna
