Disney Cruise Line has announced its lineup of fall 2026 and spring 2027 sailings, adding more options for families on the West Coast and in Texas. The new itineraries include expanded departures from San Diego and Galveston, along with voyages to the Caribbean and The Bahamas.

Early bookings will open Aug. 25, 2025, for select Disney Cruise Line Castaway Club members, with general bookings available beginning Sept. 2, 2025, Caribbean Journal has learned.

California Departures

For the first time, San Diego will host two Disney ships at once. The Disney Magic will offer a mix of three- to seven-night voyages in October and November 2026, before repositioning to Texas on a 14-night cruise to Galveston that includes Puerto Vallarta, Cartagena and Grand Cayman.

The Disney Wonder will spend seven months in San Diego, sailing from Oct. 2026 through Apr. 2027 with itineraries ranging from three to seven nights. Stops include Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada and Puerto Vallarta.

Cruising from Texas

The Disney Magic will also extend its time in Galveston with sailings scheduled from Nov. 2026 through Apr. 2027. Guests can choose from four-, five- and seven-night voyages with stops in Cozumel, Progreso, Nassau and Disney Castaway Cay.

The extended schedule gives travelers in Texas and the West Coast more access to Disney Cruise Line vacations closer to home, with itineraries that mix Caribbean and Pacific destinations.
