First Wish-Class Disney Ship Will Sail From New York in 2027

Key Aspects:

  • Disney Wish will be moving to New York City for seven sailings beginning September 29, 2027.
  • The sailings range from 4-7 nights and include Bermuda and Canada itineraries.
  • The last departure from New York is on October 31, 2027 and is a one-way voyage to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Wishes do come true for Disney Cruise Line fans hoping to set sail from New York City and San Juan, as the cruise line will be moving the 4,000-guest Disney Wish to the Big Apple in late September 2027 for a short season before offering two departures from Puerto Rico.

Bookings became listed as “Coming Soon” on the cruise line’s website on Tuesday, August 25, 2026 and show Disney Wish offering seven departures from New York from September 29 to October 31.

The ship’s first departure is a 4-night Bermuda cruise to King’s Wharf, setting sail from New York on Wednesday, September 29, 2027.

Four sailings are 5-night voyages. On October 3, 2027, the ship is offering a Canada and New England itinerary with visits to Saint John, New Brunswick, as well as Boston, Massachusetts.

Two other 5-night voyages visit Bermuda for an extended stay in King’s Wharf. Those cruises set sail on October 14 and October 19. The fourth 5-night cruise is when the ship will leave New York.

A single 6-night cruise combines Bermuda and Canada with visits to King’s Wharf and Halifax. The sailing departs New York on October 8.

Disney Wish will be offering just one 7-night cruise from New York, departing on October 24, 2027. That weeklong voyage is a Canada cruise scheduled to visit Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island as well as both Sydney and Halifax in Nova Scotia before returning to the Big Apple.

The 4,000-guest Disney Wish will depart New York on Halloween (October 31) 2027 for a sailing to San Juan. The 5-night cruise will visit Bermuda before turning her bow south on the one-way trip.

The ship has just two departures from Puerto Rico. The first is a 7-night Southern Caribbean itinerary to Oranjestad, Aruba; Kralendijk, Bonaire; Roseau, Dominica; and Philipsburg, St. Maarten that sets sail on Friday, November 5, 2027.

After that weeklong cruise, Disney Wish will depart San Juan on November 12 and sail through the Bahamas, visiting both Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point as well as Disney Castaway Cay before arriving back at her familiar homeport, Port Canaveral on Tuesday, November 16. That cruise is a 4-night sailing.

Once back in Florida, Disney Wish will resume offering 3- and 4-night Bahamas cruises.

Great Wishes in New York

Disney Cruise Line has offered sailings from New York in the past, but this is the first time a Wish-class ship will offer multiple sailings from the city.

Disney Treasure, sister ship to Disney Wish, was christened in New York on November 19, 2024 in a brief ceremony highlighted by a coordinated drone performance, but did not remain in the Big Apple for sailings.

Most recently, Disney Dream offered a short season from New York with sailings from late September to early November 2023. The cruises were similar in length and itinerary schedule to those that are now coming from Disney Wish.

Cruise Hive reported on the speculated return to New York with Disney Cruise Line’s teaser announcement just one day before the new bookings became visible. While the cruise line often spins out announcements and new details over weeks or months, such as new ship reveals, this is one time when eager guests did not have to wait long to learn that wishes can come true.

While reservations are not yet open to be booked, Disney Cruise Line commonly permits guests who are members of the Castaway Club to access new bookings sooner than new guests.

Silver members can book one day before the general public, Gold members get a two-day advance window, Platinum members have three days, and the highest loyalty tier, Pearl members, can book new itineraries four days before the general public.
