Disney Cruise Line Announces 2027 Southampton Sailings
Disney Cruise Line has confirmed plans to operate cruises from Southampton in 2027, marking a significant expansion of the company's UK departure options.
The Announcement
The 2027 deployment represents Disney's growing commitment to the UK cruise market. Travellers will be able to embark on Disney cruises directly from Southampton, eliminating the need for fly-cruise packages to Mediterranean or Caribbean departure ports.
What This Means for UK Families
Southampton has long been the UK's primary cruise departure point, with major operators including P&O Cruises, Cunard, and Royal Caribbean already well-established at the port. Disney's entry adds a premium family-focused option for British cruisers.
Expected Itineraries
While specific itineraries remain under wraps, Disney Cruise Line typically operates Mediterranean, Northern European, and British Isles routes from European departure ports. The Southampton base would likely include Norwegian fjords cruises, Baltic Sea itineraries, and Western Mediterranean voyages.
Booking Timeline
Disney Cruise Line typically opens bookings 12 to 18 months in advance. Travellers interested in 2027 departures should expect booking to open in late 2025 or early 2026.
