Summer 2026 Disney Cruise Line Itineraries have been released!
Today was an exciting day of Disney Cruise Line announcements, as the highly anticipated Summer 2026 Disney Cruise Line Itineraries were released today. The itinerary release was little surprising as it was about a month earlier than last year.
Booking windows will open up for repeat Disney Cruise Line cruisers first, depending on their Castaway Cay status, and Summer 2026 cruises becoming available to book on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025. Forget about roses, what a *sweet* surprise it would be to deposit that family Disney Cruise Line vacation your family has been dreaming about instead!

Today’s itinerary release extends the bookable window through SEPTEMBER 2026, which is fabulous, since the BEST way to save on your Disney Cruise vacation is by booking it early. Pricing typically only goes higher as we near the sailing dates, and discounts are VERY RARE for Disney Cruise Line.

We LOVE Disney Cruise Line for families
Summer 2026 Disney Cruise Vacations are a GO for school aged kiddos!
It is no secret we have a LOT of love for Disney Cruise Line, as it is our absolute favorite for cruise lines with young families and multi-generational trips. This itinerary release is very exciting for Caribbean and Bahamian sailing options open for school aged kiddos for Summer of 2026. And parents get a little extra time to save up with the slightly earlier than normal release! Bahamian and Caribbean sailings are very popular with the school-aged families as a Disney Cruise allows everyone to have some fun in gorgeous turquoise waters surrounding Disney’s private islands.

Alaskan Itinerary Surprise!
One of the surprises for this itinerary release was there will be TWO Disney Cruise ships sailing in Alaska for the 2026 Alaskan Summer season, as the Disney Magic joins the Disney Wonder in Alaska. We think both ships are PERFECT for navigating in Alaska! Many of our Travel Advisors have sailed the Disney magic recently, and it will be fun to see how Disney Cruise Entertainment incorporate the additional entertainment for Alaskan sailings into the themes for this ship!
Alaskan Cruises on Disney also offer a fantastic way for multi-generational families to explore all the beauty of Alaska, while having plenty of fun for Mom and Dad, Grandparents and the kids (even teens!) On a Disney Cruise, there is something for everyone and the adult-exclusive spaces and incredible kids clubs make it easy to pull of Mom Approved multi-gen cruises!
