Disney Cruise Line 2023 Itineraries

Disney Travel, Disney Travel News: Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line & NEW National Geographic  Expeditions

Disney Cruise Line recently announced summer 2023 itineraries. Disney Cruise Line is a bit different than other lines. With Disney, the least expensive options are almost always booked early. Pricing goes up as more staterooms book up. So, we recommend booking as early as you can for best availability and pricing. 

Disney Cruise Line will be returning to Alaska, The Bahamas, and the Caribbean… including stops at Disney’s very popular private island paradise of Castaway Cay. And, beginning this July, you’ll be able to experience the brand new Disney Wish cruise ship for the first time! 

Here’s a look at everything you’ll want to know about Disney’s newest castle at sea: 

Disney Wish Cruise Ship – Everything You Need to Know

MiceChat was so excited about this next little bit of Disney Cruise Line news that we’ve already booked ourselves a spot. The Disney Dream cruise ship is being repositioned to Europe and will sail the fjords of Norway, through the British Isles, Iceland, the Mediterranean, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the French Riviera, and historic Greece! We love the idea of one of Disney’s bigger ships sailing Europe.
