In early 2024, Disney Cruise Line is going to be on island time! A variety of fan-favorite tropical locales are in store for guests, including itineraries to the Caribbean, Mexico, Bahamas and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

With sailings from two home ports in the Sunshine State (Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale) as well as voyages from Galveston, New Orleans and San Diego, guests can escape the winter blues with a magical vacation at sea from wherever they are in 2024.  

Bookings for these exciting new itineraries will open to the public on Dec. 15, 2022. Guests that are Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club (have sailed with Disney Cruise Line before) and other select affinity groups may take advantage of special early booking windows:

• Monday, Dec. 12, 2022: Platinum Castaway Club Members, Golden Oak and Club 33 Members

The Disney Dream will begin early 2024 with an assortment of 3- and 4-night sailings to the Bahamas and 5-night vacations to the Western Caribbean, sailing out of Fort Lauderdale. All of these sailings will feature classic Disney Cruise Line experiences such as Broadway-style shows, innovative dining, character encounters and fireworks at sea.

All sailings from Florida will include a stop at Castaway Cay, a picturesque private island oasis reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests. Located in the turquoise waters of the Bahamas, Castaway Cay provides the ultimate escape with something for everyone in the family, including adventure, relaxation and quality time.

The Disney Wish will kick off 2024 with 3- and 4-night voyages to Nassau, Bahamas, and Castaway Cay departing from Port Canaveral, Florida, Disney Cruise Line’s home port located just one hour from the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. Cruises aboard the Disney Wish combine enchanting entertainment and numerous Disney Cruise Line firsts, bringing to life Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars stories around every corner of the ship.

Also from Port Canaveral, the Disney Fantasy will continue 7-night sailings to the white-sand beaches of the eastern and western Caribbean. Eastern Caribbean cruises will visit Tortola and St. Thomas, while western Caribbean itineraries will feature the ports of Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Cayman; and Falmouth, Jamaica. Every Disney Fantasy sailing also includes a stop at Castaway Cay, along with several days at sea, giving the family more time to enjoy all the fun and relaxation offered on board.

The Disney Magic will have two limited-time engagements in Galveston in early 2024. After ringing in the New Year from the Lonestar State, the ship will embark on Caribbean adventures ranging in length from 4-6 nights through the end of January. Upon returning for another month-long stint between March and April, the ship will sail cruises ranging from 4-7 nights to the Western Caribbean during the popular spring break period.

New Orleans will welcome the Disney Magic back for a second consecutive year in February 2024 with 4-, 5- and 7-night cruises to the Caribbean. The Big Easy is the perfect city to extend a vacation either before or after a cruise to enjoy jazz and jambalaya in the city that inspired Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Princess and the Frog.”  

After returning from its inaugural season in Australia and New Zealand, the Disney Wonder will arrive in San Diego, California in March 2024 for 3-7-night voyages to Mexico, including the Baja peninsula. Known for its vibrant culture, stunning beaches and saltwater adventures, families can visit some of Mexico’s most prized destinations, including Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Ensenada, along with stops to the inviting shores of Catalina Island off the California coast.
