Disney Cruise Line Unveils 2017 Schedule

In early 2017, the Disney Magic will sail three-, four- and five-night Bahamian and Caribbean cruises from Miami, followed by four select seven-night Southern Caribbean sailings from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Disney Cruise Line will return to favourite destinations in the Caribbean and the Bahamas in 2017, offering a variety of itineraries, most from Florida ports.

Limited-time engagements in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Galveston, Texas, complete the line-up for the first part of the year. Most cruises feature a stop at Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island reserved exclusively for Disney guests.

With three Disney ships in port and cruise lengths spanning three, four and seven nights, travellers looking for a Disney Cruise Line getaway in early 2017 have a full menu of options from Port Canaveral. Bookings open on Oct. 8.

The Disney Fantasy continues to sail seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages, while the Disney Dream embarks on three- and four-night cruises to Nassau and Castaway Cay. Beginning Jan. 29, the Disney Wonder will alternate similar three- and four-night itineraries.

To kick off 2017, the Disney Magic continues sailing from Miami with three-, four- and five-night voyages to the Bahamas, plus select five-night Western Caribbean cruises, through March 31.

Castaway Cay awaits guests aboard every one of these Disney Magic sailings. Other Bahamian ports of call include Nassau and Key West, while a stop in Grand Cayman or Cozumel headlines the Western Caribbean itineraries.

From San Juan, the Disney Magic sets sail on four seven-night cruises to the Southern Caribbean. Departing April 9, 16, 23 and 30, this limited-time engagement includes calls on Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, Antigua and St. Kitts.

The Disney Wonder completes a season in Galveston with two seven-night Bahamian voyages to Key West, Castaway Cay and Nassau on Jan. 6 and 13. From there, the ship embarks on a six-night journey to San Juan on Jan. 20 with stops in Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Falmouth, Jamaica.

On Jan. 26, a three-night cruise aboard the Disney Wonder takes guests from San Juan to Port Canaveral.
