Ahoy there, Patty, and welcome to planDisney!
How exciting that you’re already dreaming ahead to a Disney Cruise Line adventure in May or June of 2027, especially with the Mediterranean in mind; what an incredible way to experience the magic of Europe paired with the world-class service of Disney at sea. You're right to start planning early, and I’d be delighted to help you chart your course!
While Disney Cruise Line hasn't announced itineraries that far out just yet, they traditionally release new sailings about 13 to 18 months in advance. That means we can likely expect the summer 2027 itineraries to become available sometime in early 2026, though exact dates can vary year to year. To stay in the know, I recommend
signing up for email updates on the Disney Cruise Line website and keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog, which often shares big announcements first. And don’t forget: if you’re a
Castaway Club member, you also get early booking access once those itineraries are live!
As you wait for release day, it’s never too early to start dreaming. May and June are wonderful months to cruise the Mediterranean, offering mild temperatures, fewer crowds (compared to mid-summer), and a beautiful blend of sightseeing and seaside relaxation. Ports like Barcelona, Naples, and Villefranche offer rich culture, ancient history, and unforgettable excursions. But if you ask me, I would set my sights on sailing out of Rome (Civitavecchia) on a Greek Isles cruise. While of course the island of Mykonos is iconic, I love the
12-Night Mediterranean One-Way Cruise because it also includes the ports of
Rhodes and
Corfu, which may be lesser-known, but equally quintessential when it comes to cuisine and landscapes. All that to say, be sure to look into
Port Adventures for each in advance to make the most of each destination.
Wishing you calm seas and exciting planning ahead! I’m so glad you stopped by
planDisney, Patty. Whether you're mapping out Mediterranean must-dos or dreaming of dolce vita with Mickey, we’re always here to help you plan with confidence. Feel free to stop by again as your magical 2027 voyage gets closer!
