Disney Cruise Line Offers Even More Fun in the Sun in the Bahamas, Caribbean and Mexico in Early 2025

CELEBRATION, Fla. (Oct. 26, 2023) – In early 2025, Disney Cruise Line will feature new and fan-favorite itineraries, bringing guests more options for fun in the sun from four home ports in the United States. From voyages that stop at one or both of Disney Cruise Line’s island destinations in The Bahamas, to the Disney Treasure’s inaugural season of seven-night voyages to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, to a tropical sailing to Hawaii or the South Pacific aboard the Disney Wonder, early 2025 will provide a myriad of adventures aboard Disney Cruise Line’s six ships.

Bookings for early 2025 open to the public on Monday, November 6. For more details, visit the 2025 itineraries page of disneycruise.com.

Delight in Disney’s Island Destinations 

In early 2025, the Disney Fantasy, Disney Wish, Disney Dream and Disney Magic will all offer an assortment of three- to five-night getaways from Florida to Disney Cruise Line’s Bahamian destinations – the new Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and the beloved Disney Castaway Cay. The Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will set sail from Port Canaveral, Florida, while the Disney Dream and Disney Magic will voyage from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Aboard all four ships, guests will have the opportunity to experience one of the Disney island destinations, with each ship also offering at least one special itinerary that will sail to both Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point and Disney Castaway Cay.

Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, Disney’s celebration of The Bahamas and its newest, one-of-a-kind island retreat located on the island of Eleuthera, will welcome families with breathtaking natural beauty combined with the magic of Bahamian storytelling and artistry. Purposefully designed to be a unique fusion of Bahamian culture and Disney experiences, Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point will feature Bahamian art and music paired with signature Disney entertainment, sweeping architecture inspired by Bahamian natural wonders brought to life by Disney Imagineers and opportunities to explore Eleuthera through unique port adventures.

Meanwhile Disney Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island paradise in The Bahamas, will continue to provide guests of all ages with relaxation and adventure amidst its turquoise waters and lush landscapes. The whimsical tropical hideaway provides a hassle-free experience for a fun and relaxing beach day coupled with a picture-perfect setting with distinctly Disney touches.

The Disney Treasure’s Inaugural Season

Following its maiden voyage on Dec. 21, 2024, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Treasure, will embark on an inaugural season of seven-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral. Eastern Caribbean sailings will take families to the beautiful island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands, Disney Castaway Cay and either San Juan, Puerto Rico, or St. Thomas, while Western Caribbean sailings will bring families to destinations such as Falmouth in Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico. The week-long voyages will offer at least two days at sea, giving families more time to enjoy the unique spaces, immersive dining and world-class entertainment onboard the Disney Treasure.

Pacific Voyages Aboard the Disney Wonder

The Disney Wonder will conclude its second season in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025 with a special 15-night South Pacific cruise from Sydney, Australia, to Honolulu, Hawaii. Its return to North America will feature two more special sailings: a nine-night Hawaiian Island cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver, Canada in late February, followed by a five-night cruise from Vancouver to San Diego, California, in early March. From San Diego, the Disney Wonder will take guests on three- to seven-night adventures to the Mexican Riviera or the Baja Peninsula.

Adventures from Texas on the Disney Magic

Before homeporting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Disney Magic will also offer the opportunity to visit Mexico on a Disney Cruise Line vacation. For the first three months of 2025, the Disney Magic will sail to Progreso and Cozumel in Mexico and Grand Cayman from Galveston, Texas. In April, the ship will set sail on a special seven-night cruise from the Lone Star State to San Juan, Puerto Rico that will stop at both of Disney’s island destinations, before returning to the Sunshine State  for a series of three- to four-night sailings from Fort Lauderdale, followed by four- and five-night sailings from Port Canaveral to Nassau and at least one of Disney’s island destinations in The Bahamas.

    Definitely less interesting places, but lots of double dips. Too bad long cruises will only be on the new ship.

    I do like the variety of locations from which to sail on the Magic. I may have to grab one of those local sailings.

      Yes! Was shocked at lack of 7 night. We only cruise that or longer. Tried a 5 night thinking it was close to a 7 night…most chaotic cruise we have ever been on! Not interested in the Treasure at this time.

    This release is always very underwhelming to me every year. I’ll look forward to the release of Summer 2025, including hopefully the MV of the Adventure!

    I wonder why there are no sailings from New Orleans? I really wish the San Diego sailings would resume the 4 night to Cabo instead of Catalina and Ensenada.

    So which ship is going to Europe during the summer of 2025? The Fantasy? That’s the only one that looks to be available for the usual time of the eastbound transatlantic.

    Reply
    1. Ricky Ragazzo

      The Dream will most likely return in the summer. These are just early 2025 sailings. I do hope they’ll place the Fantasy somewhere new since the Treasure is absorbing her itinerary.

      Reply
    2. benjibritt

      I think you’re right. Since summer 2020 the transatlantic cruise has alway happened in early May (May 11th 2020, May 9th 2021, May 8th 2022, May 7th 2023, and the upcoming May 5th 2024) with european sailings beginning in mid to late May. For 2025, the Dream will be in the bahamas at least through the end of its May 30th 3-Night Bahamian Cruise from Fort Lauderdale, while the Fantasy doesn’t have anything scheduled past its May 1st 3-Night Bahamian Cruise. Assuming they’re keeping a similar schedule to previous years, it looks like they’re setting the Fantasy up for a early/mid may transatlantic cruise to start the summer 2025 season in Europe.

      Reply
    3. Suzanne Lindamood

      It looks like it has to be the Fantasy. The Dream has sailings posted through the end of May and the EBTA is always the first week of May. The Fantasy finishes a 3 day cruise early May and has no more scheduled. Its next cruise, yet to be announced, has to be the EBTA.

    We love the longer cruises too. The travel time and money invested to get to the port. Now forced to the newer more expensive ship. I can no longer afford Disney. The Vacation Club points are too high. $95.00 every time. They have finally priced us out. Not upset, just have to move to another cruise line after 24 cruises.

    I think DCL is making too many mistakes these days. Their bread and butter has been their repeaters. Most people choose other cruise lines for a variety of reasons; too numerous to list here.
    DCL is not going to attract many of these people. Their CC members loved the older ships with their classical nautical decor and enjoyed the layout of the ships. The Wish was a mistake and now they have repeated those mistakes on The Treasure. They have stuck with the old itineraries for the most part, have not increased their perks for CC members, chose to stick us with the newest most expensive, least desirable ship for 7 nights out of PC (remember a great deal of cruisers live near PC or within driving distance) not to mention those who visit the parks which are also now priced way out of line. My child who has been Platinum since very young is now old enough to be in the adult areas and these are pitiful on the two newer ships. She recently said that she wants to try another line. That’s fine with us!

    Crazy theory.
    Maybe nothing is going to Europe in 2025, certainly given the Dream’s schedule. Perhaps off to Asia instead to prep the market for the Disney Adventure?
