The Disney Wish will arrive in Southampton in 2027

For families, this is an exciting opportunity to enjoy a Disney cruise without needing to travel overseas, while still experiencing all the magic, fun, and adventure the brand is known for.

The Disney Wish is a ship designed with families in mind.  At around 144,000 tonnes and carrying about 4,000 guests, there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their own adventures, whether that’s racing down water slides, exploring themed play areas, or simply relaxing together on deck.

Fun for Kids of All Ages:

The ship offers a mix of activities for children and teens -

- AquaMouse, Disney’s first attraction at sea, blends storytelling with twists, turns, and splashy fun.

- Oceaneer Club and Lab, where younger kids can enjoy themed activities, games, and storytelling in safe, imaginative spaces.

- Hero Zone, perfect for tweens and teens to get active with games and challenges.

- Pools and splash zones, including Toy Story-themed areas, give kids the chance to play and cool off.

Entertainment That Brings Stories to Life:

Live shows and character experiences are woven throughout the cruise, so families can enjoy seeing favourite Disney stories unfold in front of them.  From parades of beloved characters to immersive stage shows, every day brings something new to explore together.

Dining Designed for Everyone:

Meals are more than just food, they are part of the adventure.  Family-friendly themed dining, from Frozen-inspired dinners to Marvel experiences, adds an extra layer of excitement to the day.  While the kids are absorbed in interactive meals, parents can take a moment to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Spaces for Adults to Recharge:

Even on a family-focused ship, adults have their own places to unwind. From the quiet adults-only pool to a spa and themed lounges, there’s space to relax while the children are happily entertained.

Sailing from Southampton, the Disney Wish opens up a world of adventure close to home, with European itineraries that allow families to explore new destinations while enjoying a magical floating resort.

For families looking for a holiday where both children and parents have their own kind of fun, the Disney Wish promises an experience that combines Disney magic with unforgettable moments together.
