Ahoy there, Tomiko,
Thanks for sailing by planDisney with your excellent question. I'm always planning my next Disney Cruise Line vacation and like you, I like to mark my calendar so I can book my future cruises.
Typically, new itineraries are announced about 18 - 15 months in advance and a few months at a time. For instance, for January through May 2025 cruises, the itineraries were released in late October 2023. And just last week (March 14, 2024),
sailings for May through September 2025 were announced.
There are a few ways to make sure you stay up to date with the latest Disney Cruise Line news, Tomiko. I recommend checking the
Disney Parks Blog and the
Disney Cruise Line Instagram account since announcements often appear there first. You can also
create an account on the Disney Cruise Line website and update your Communication Preference to receive email updates from Disney Cruise Line. Sign in to your account, click on your name, and scroll down to Communication Preference then select "Manage your email subscriptions." Emails are usually sent to subscribers soon after new itineraries are announced. You will also learn a lot about Disney Cruise Line when other updates are shared!
Don't forget to check out the
planDisney Pocket Guides for Disney Cruise Line and the
planDisney Podcast focusing on Disney Cruise Line adventures!
I hope you have a vacation on the horizon soon, Tomiko. Let us know if you have other questions as you plan!
Wishing you many magical memories,
Shannon
