Ahoy, Benjamin! I’m so excited to hear that you are already planning an Alaskan cruise for 2027. I love sailing anywhere with Disney Cruise Line, but the Alaskan cruises are really something special with the combination of rugged arctic beauty and wildlife sightings that can be seen right from the ship.
As you know, only the itineraries for early 2027 sailings have been released so far, which do not include the Alaskan schedule. Since the Alaskan cruises typically sail between the months of May and September, those sailing dates should be released with the 2027 Summer Itineraries announcement. There is no official date right now as to when the Summer 2027 itineraries will be released, but you can expect that the announcement will be made soon with booking dates opening shortly thereafter. For reference, the 2026 Summer Itineraries were released in early February 2025 and reservations started on February 17, 2025, so definitely be on the lookout within the next month or two.
Last year’s announcement even included the surprise that both the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder would be featuring Alaskan itineraries for Summer 2026, so you never know what could be on the horizon!
The most accurate and up-to-date information can always be found on the
Disney Cruise Line website, but I also recommend making sure that you are
signed up for the official email updates, which bring itinerary announcements and other news right to your inbox. In the meantime, check out the
Alaska Cruises section of the website for more planning information about the ports of call and unique Port Adventures.
I will be sailing aboard the Disney Wonder this summer for my second Alaskan itinerary, so I understand your eagerness to pick a date, book it, and add it to your calendar. But don’t worry because you should not be waiting much longer! I’m sure that you will have many more questions once you pick your sailing date, so feel free to come back to planDisney for additional help. Happy planning and sailing in 2027!
