If you love cruising and a bit of Disney magic, get ready to grab your ears (and wallets). Disney Cruise Line has just dropped some huge news for British cruisers. In summer 2027, the incredible Disney Wish will sail from Southampton for the first time ever. That’s right.
It’s the first time Disney Wish will be based in Europe, and starting from the UK makes it incredibly accessible for people in the UK and Ireland. Sailings will go from 3 nights right up to around 10 nights, meaning short escapes and longer adventures are both on the table.
Disney Wish Routes From Southampton, UK
The 2027 season will offer a mix of sailings from Southampton. There’s a good variety planned, from classic short breaks to longer explorations that could include:
- Stops along the British Isles and Northern Europe
- Fjord-style adventures in Norway
- Mediterranean options via Spain and Italy if you want even more sun and culture
Departing from Southampton means you get to start your cruise in a city with deep nautical history. It’s also a convenient port for UK travellers who don’t want the hassle of long flights before the vacation even begins.

When You Can Book Disney Wish
Bookings for the UK sailings were announced to open in February 2026, so savvy planners will want to keep an eye on Disney Cruise Line’s site or talk to a trusted agent early. Prices will vary by length and cabin type, but expect premium experiences given the ship’s size and offerings.
How Much Will It Cost?
Erm, alot. Disney is not a budget cruise line. Prices start from £2,802 based on a family of two adults and two children in one interior cabin.
