Disney Cruise Line will return to New York City in late September 2027 after an absence of nearly four years. Disney Wish will operate seven cruises from the city, lasting between four and seven nights, with itineraries to Bermuda, Canada and New England and one one-way sailing to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Before reaching New York, Disney Wish will spend summer 2027 on its first European season. Cruises will depart from Barcelona, Civitavecchia and Southampton, covering the Mediterranean, Greek Isles, Norwegian Fjords, Northern Europe and the British Isles. The programme also introduces three new ports for Disney Cruise Line: Hellesylt in Norway, Trieste in Italy and Zadar in Croatia, before the ship crosses the Atlantic for its New York season.

Where Disney Wish Will Sail from New York

  • Ship: Disney Wish
  • New York season: Late September 2027, with seven sailings lasting four to seven nights
  • New York–Bermuda: Five sailings will visit Bermuda; three include an additional day on the island
  • New York–Bermuda–San Juan: One five-night one-way cruise will call at King’s Wharf, Bermuda, before ending in San Juan, Puerto Rico
  • New York–New England and Atlantic Canada: The other sailings will visit the region for the first time in nearly four years, with itineraries that may include Halifax, Saint John and Charlottetown; one also includes Boston
  • San Juan programme: Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy will operate five- to seven-night Southern and Eastern Caribbean cruises in autumn 2027 and spring 2028
  • Early booking: Opens 31 August 2026 for eligible Castaway Club members
  • General booking: Opens 8 September 2026
  • Prices: Not yet published for the new programme

Most of the new Disney Wish sailings from New York will operate as round trips, with Bermuda and Canada/New England options returning to the city. The exception is the five-night voyage to San Juan via Bermuda, which ends in Puerto Rico. That itinerary can work well as part of a longer Caribbean trip, but travellers will need to factor in separate flights, accommodation and onward transport when comparing the total cost.

With only seven New York departures planned, travellers looking for a particular route or date will have a relatively limited choice. Cruise fares have not yet been announced, so the most useful comparison once bookings open will be the total trip cost, including flights to New York and any additional travel required after the one-way San Juan sailing.
