Disney Wish comes to Southampton: Your family guide to summer 2027 sailings

Imaginative dining you won't find elsewhere

Disney's signature rotational dining means you can move between distinct restaurants across your sailing, while your dedicated serving team travels with you and learns your preferences. On Disney Wish, there are three venues that stand out:

Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure brings Elsa, Anna, and the gang to life in the world's first Frozen-themed theatrical dining experience, complete with Norwegian-inspired cuisine.
Worlds of Marvel turns dinner into a cinematic mission alongside Ant-Man, the Wasp, and a surprise appearance from Spider-Man.
1923 offers refined Californian cooking in an elegant tribute to the year Walt Disney founded his studio.

For grown-up evenings, Palo Steakhouse serves premium steaks and accomplished Italian dishes in an adults-only setting.

Enchanting entertainment

Expect West End-calibre productions, including Disney The Little Mermaid, created exclusively for the ship, alongside lively deck happenings and films from the archives. The headline thrill is AquaMouse, the first ever Disney attraction at sea, carrying riders through 760 feet of twisting tubes and animated show scenes before a gentle splashdown. There are few things that create lasting memories for your children like meeting a beloved Character, and Disney Wish facilitates moments like these throughout your voyage. From spontaneous greetings to organised meet-and-greets, your children will treasure every one.

Staterooms designed with families in mind

Every Disney Wish stateroom is designed with families in mind, balancing clever use of space with the kind of thoughtful storytelling that makes the ship so special. Subtle artwork celebrating classic Disney films adds character to each room, while practical touches keep daily life running smoothly when you're travelling as a group.

Families can choose from a range of categories to suit their needs and budget. Inside staterooms offer comfortable, well-appointed spaces, while Oceanview rooms add a real window onto the sea. For a little more room to breathe, Verandah staterooms come with a private balcony, perfect for quiet morning coffees as the coastline drifts by. Families wanting the very best can opt for Concierge staterooms and suites, which bring extra space, dedicated service and exclusive lounge access.

Key family sailings for summer 2027

Whether you have a long weekend to spare or fancy a slightly longer escape, there's a voyage to suit your diary, your children, and your sense of adventure next summer. If a longer voyage is tempting, the season opens beautifully with two five-night Spanish sailings. The first, departing 6th August, pairs La Coruña and Bilbao for a real taste of Spain's Atlantic coast, while the 11th August departure swaps in Vigo alongside La Coruña, with relaxed days at sea between ports.

For families juggling busy diaries, the shorter breaks are a joy. A three-night sailing on 20th August whisks you to Zeebrugge, just a short hop from the storybook canals of Bruges, while the 27th August getaway heads to Rotterdam for a quick dose of Dutch culture. And if a classic Spanish escape is calling, the four-night voyages on 23rd and 30th August both call at La Coruña, making them a lovely choice for first-time Disney cruisers and seasoned sailors alike.

Whichever you choose, the mix of three, four and five-night sailings means there's a perfect fit for every family, whatever your plans and however much time you can spare.

The Seychelles is one of the world's most breathtaking tropical island paradises, consisting of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Kenya.
