If you have been dreaming about stepping foot aboard the Disney Wish ever since we unveiled Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship last month, your wish can now come true! Starting today, your family can book the family vacation of a lifetime and be part of Disney Cruise Line history during the Disney Wish’s inaugural season next summer.
On June 9, 2022, the Disney Wish will set sail from Port Canaveral for a special five-night voyage, featuring two days at sea and stops in Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island paradise, Castaway Cay.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to live out my fairytale dreams in the Grand Hall, embark on a “port misadventure” aboard the AquaMouse, indulge in a date night at Palo Steakhouse and take my daughter to the “Toy Story” Splash Zone for the first time. And, as a huge Marvel fan, I am especially excited about Worlds of Marvel … More details about that first-of-its-kind cinematic dining adventure are on the horizon!
