    I have 5 young children and plan to go on a Disney Cruise within the next 5 years. We live in BC, Canada and am considering either an Alaskan cruise, or one in Australia. Please inform me of the routes near Australia, NZ. Thanks.

    Hi there, James!

    Welcome to planDisney! I love that you’re exploring options for a Disney Cruise! My family absolutely loves sailing with Disney Cruise Line because they offer the perfect blend of Disney magic and unforgettable ocean‑front adventures.

    I took a look at the Disney Cruise Line website, and it appears that Australian sailings aren’t currently being offered. I'm sure that is disappointing! I know that Disney Cruise Line visited Australia in the past, so I’m hopeful those itineraries will return. In the meantime, keep an eye on Disney Cruise Line’s social media channels and the Disney Parks Blog for any future announcements.

    While you wait, I highly recommend checking out the Alaskan itineraries! In summer 2027, both the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic will be sailing to Alaska. I’ve been eyeing a 7‑night voyage on the Disney Magic that includes stops in Skagway, Icy Strait Point, and Ketchikan, plus glacier viewing (I'm so excited for that!). It sounds incredible!

    To browse what’s currently available, visit the Disney Cruise Line website. Hover over “Destinations” at the top and select “Alaska” for an overview of the itineraries. Then choose “Find a Cruise” in the middle of the page. Make sure to enter the number of Guests in your party to see sailings that may work for your family. Most staterooms sleep 4-5 Guests, so you’ll likely need two rooms. Fortunately, connecting staterooms are an option, giving you two separate spaces connected by an interior door. If you’d like help reviewing your choices, you can always call Disney Cruise Line directly.

    James, I hope you find the perfect cruise for your family! Please reach out to planDisney again if you have additional questions.

    Happy sailing!
