    Hi, I would like to look at a cruise for next christmas but I cant find any dates. Do I have to wait? thanks!

    Ahoy, Noemi! Merry Christmas! I absolutely love this plan and am happy to welcome you aboard planDisney!  

    A Very Merrytime Christmas Cruise with Disney Cruise Line is the holliest, jolliest way to celebrate the season! You will experience festive holiday parties, Characters dressed in their seasonal best, and a magical tree lighting at sea to seal in the magic! The whole ship is wrapped in Disney charm, everywhere you look. 

    I checked the cruise search tool on the Disney Cruise Line website to confirm, and you are right, dates for December 2027 have not been released just yet. Historically, Fall and Winter sailings are announced in the spring or summer of the year before, usually about 15 to 18 months in advance. In past years, those dates have popped up anywhere from mid May through mid August.

    I know it is hard to wait without exact dates, but I recommend keeping your eyes peeled on the Disney Parks Blog and the Disney Cruise Line Instagram page. Release announcements are often shared there before bookings officially open.

    I have been on several themed Disney Cruises, and they always sprinkle in that extra bit of pixie dust, just when you think the magic couldn't get better!

    While you wait, have you signed up for the Disney Cruise Line Newsletter? It my favorite magical mail notification to pop up!

    Noemi, I cannot wait for you to experience your Very Merrytime Cruise! Please come back anytime for more answers, tips, and planning help! Thank you for cruising in!

    Bon Voyage!
