Disney Cruise Line's lineup of family-friendly cruises is already packed with exciting itineraries across the globe, but it's about to get even more exciting in 2026. On Thursday, Disney revealed its summer 2026 sailings, including the introduction of a second ship to one of TPG's favorite Disney cruise destinations.

Until now, Disney Wonder was the only ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet that sailed to Alaska. Beginning in May 2026, both Disney Wonder and Disney Magic will sail to the Last Frontier on seven-night voyages beginning and ending in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Itineraries and ports of call vary per sailing, but you can expect stops in naturally beautiful destinations like Juneau, Ketchikan and Skagway, as well as on-ship glacier viewing of the 600-foot-tall Dawes Glacier. Itineraries on Disney Magic will also include a stop at Icy Strait Point, home to the "world's largest ZipRider" and a well-known whale-watching destination.

By adding sailings on Disney Magic, Disney will now offer a total of 26 Alaska cruises next year. Prices start at around $2,500 for two passengers on a five-night sailing and go up to just over $3,300 for seven nights.

Disney Dream will offer a choice of itineraries throughout its European stay. It will start the summer with seven- to 12-night Mediterranean cruises from Barcelona or Civitavecchia (the port closest to Rome), taking guests to destinations in Italy and Greece. Then, the ship will reposition to Southampton (near London), U.K., and sail three- to seven-night cruises to Northern Europe and the Norwegian fjords.

Cruisers who wish to visit Disney's newest island destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, can do so on summer 2026 sailings on Disney Wish, Disney Fantasy and upcoming Disney Destiny (which launches in November 2025).

Disney Treasure, which debuted in 2024, will continue to sail alternating weeklong Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries. It will call on Disney's Castaway Cay in addition to various ports in the Caribbean and Mexico.

Finally, Disney Adventure, Disney's second new ship debuting this year, will set sail on three- and four-night itineraries out of Singapore beginning in December 2025. The ship will have seven distinctly themed areas highlighting popular characters from Disney, Pixar and Marvel films.

Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Club members get early access to these itineraries and can begin booking Feb. 10. Everyone else must wait until Feb. 17 to book their 2026 Disney cruise.
