Key Details

South Florida: Disney Dream to the Bahamas and Caribbean

The Disney Dream opens 2024 with three- and four-night getaways to the Bahamas and five-night sailings to the western Caribbean, all departing from South Florida. Every voyage includes a call at Castaway Cay, Disney's exclusive private island tucked into the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, where guests can find beach relaxation, water sports, and family activities. All sailings feature the cruise line's signature Broadway-style entertainment, innovative dining, character encounters, and fireworks at sea.

Central Florida: Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral

The Disney Wish kicks off 2024 from Port Canaveral — just one hour from Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando — with three- and four-night voyages to Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay. The newest ship in the fleet brings to life Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars stories throughout its decks, offering numerous first-ever Disney Cruise Line experiences.

Also from Port Canaveral, the Disney Fantasy continues seven-night sailings to the white-sand beaches of the eastern and western Caribbean. Eastern Caribbean itineraries call at Tortola and St. Thomas, while western Caribbean routes visit Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; and Falmouth, Jamaica. Every Disney Fantasy sailing also stops at Castaway Cay, along with several days at sea.

Texas and Louisiana: Disney Magic in the Gulf

The Disney Magic has two limited-time engagements in Galveston, Texas in early 2024. The first stint runs through the end of January with four- to six-night Caribbean sailings. The ship returns for a second month-long engagement from March through April, offering four- to seven-night western Caribbean cruises timed to the spring break travel period.

In between the Galveston engagements, the Disney Magic sails from New Orleans, Louisiana in February 2024 — its second consecutive year calling on the city. Four-, five-, and seven-night Caribbean itineraries depart from the port, making New Orleans an ideal pre- or post-cruise destination for guests wanting to experience the jazz, cuisine, and culture that inspired Walt Disney Animation Studios' The Princess and the Frog.

California: Disney Wonder to Mexico

After completing its inaugural season in Australia and New Zealand, the Disney Wonder arrives in San Diego, California in March 2024 for three- to seven-night voyages along the Baja Peninsula and into mainland Mexico. The ship visits some of Mexico's most popular coastal destinations — Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Ensenada — along with calls at Catalina Island, just off the California coast.
