🚨🚢 NEW: Disney Cruise Line is sailing to Bermuda from Florida in 2028!

Disney Cruise Line is adding a special 8-night Disney Fantasy sailing from Fort Lauderdale to Bermuda, departing March 18, 2028. The cruise will sail roundtrip from Port Everglades and feature an overnight visit to King’s Wharf, Bermuda.

But Bermuda isn’t the only highlight! The itinerary also visits BOTH of Disney Cruise Line’s private destinations in The Bahamas Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. That means one sailing combines Bermuda with two Disney island destinations! 🏝️✨

The sailing will be part of the Disney Fantasy’s first season sailing from Fort Lauderdale, with the ship scheduled to homeport there from December 2027 through April 2028.

🚨🚢 NEW: Disney Cruise Line Reveals First Look at an Entirely NEW Class of Cruise Ships!

Disney Cruise Line is getting even bigger! Disney has revealed the first look at a brand-new class of ships set to debut in 2029, with three new ships planned for the class. The expansion will eventually help grow the Disney Cruise Line fleet to 13 ships.

But these ships won’t simply be more versions of the Disney Wish.

Disney says the new class will sit between its classic and newer ships in size, bigger than the Disney Wonder but smaller than the Disney Wish. That strategic size could allow Disney Cruise Line to reach new destinations and audiences around the world that its larger ships may not be able to serve as easily.

The names, itineraries and onboard experiences haven’t been announced yet, but Disney says this is an entirely new class for the fleet.

And before these arrive, the Disney Believe is scheduled to set sail in 2027 as the fourth Wish-class ship.
