Set Sail with Disney Cruise Line Fall 2023 Itineraries
Although summer is still in full swing, Disney is already getting into the holiday spirit with new Disney Cruise Line Fall 2023 itineraries. These include returning favorites like Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime Cruisesโplus, for the first time ever, departures from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Halloween on the High Seas Cruises Return
From mid-September through October 2023, guests can enjoy not-so-scary sailings during Halloween on the High Seas. Expect characters in costume, onboard trick-or-treating, Mickeyโs Mouse-querade party, and festive fall dรฉcor. Itโs a fun and immersive celebration for guests of all ages.
Celebrate the Season with Very Merrytime Cruises
Then, from early November through December, Disney ships will sparkle with festive magic. Very Merrytime Cruises bring holiday cheer to the high seas with tree-lighting ceremonies, Santa and Mrs. Claus, holiday-themed dรฉcor, and characters dressed in their winter best.
New for 2023: Fort Lauderdale Sailings
Beginning November 20, 2023, the Disney Dream will homeport in Port Everglades. This new South Florida departure point opens up four- and five-night cruises to the Bahamas and Western Caribbean. Destinations include Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Nassau, along with stops at Castaway Cay, Disneyโs private island paradise.
Disney Dream: Sailing from New York and Canada
After its European season, the Disney Dream heads to New York City. Families can enjoy four- to six-night cruises to Bermuda, complete with pink-sand beaches and culture-rich experiences. A special four-night cruise to Saint John in Canada adds even more variety to the lineup.
Mexican Riviera Cruises on the Disney Magic
Over on the West Coast, the Disney Magic sets sail from San Diego in mid-October 2023. Guests can choose from two- to seven-night cruises to Baja and the Mexican Riviera, including Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas, and Ensenada. Each itinerary features stunning views and access to incredible snorkeling and diving.
Port Canaveral Continues with Wish and Fantasy
While new ports debut, Port Canaveral remains the anchor for two beloved Disney ships. The Disney Wish will continue sailing three- and four-night Bahamas itineraries, including stops at Nassau and Castaway Cay. The Disney Fantasy will operate seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages, packed with family fun and Broadway-style shows.
