Ahoy, Thea! Welcome to planDisney, where we aim to answer all of your Disney Cruise Line questions about where magic meets the sea. We are always ready to help, whether your cruise sets sail next week, next month, or even next year.
Disney Cruise Line actually just
announced the Summer 2027 itineraries and general bookings for sailings through September 2027 are scheduled to open to the general public on February 23, 2026. Unfortunately, that means that you will still have to wait a little longer for the December 2027 dates to be released, which should be part of the Fall 2027 and Spring 2028 itinerary announcement. Although there is no official date as to when that announcement is expected, it should be made toward the end of the summer. For reference, both the
Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 itineraries were announced together in August 2025 with general bookings opening on September 2, 2025, so we expect a similar timeframe to be used again this year.
Remember that you can always find the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding available itineraries on the
Disney Cruise Line website. But UK residents also have the option of relying on the official
Disney Holidays website since it is run by the Walt Disney Travel Company and covers vacation planning for Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris, and Disney Cruise Line. Make sure that you are
signed up for the official email updates specifically for those guests living in the United Kingdom and Ireland because it will help you stay on top of the latest announcements and you never know what special offers may also be sent directly to your inbox!
As you wait for your desired sailing dates to be released, you may want to start narrowing down which
destinations,
departure ports, and
ships you are most interested in exploring. We are also always here at planDisney and ready to answer any other questions that may come up during your planning process. Best of luck picking your perfect adventure at sea for December 2027. Happy sailing!
