Destinations include Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada. One seven-night cruise will visit Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas.

Also in fall 2023, Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy will continue sailing from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and Caribbean.

Disney Wish will sail three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas, including Nassau and Castaway Cay, while Disney Fantasy will sail weeklong cruises in the eastern and western Caribbean.

Halloween

Halloween on the High Seas cruises will return from mid-September through October 2023. These sailings feature characters dressed in Halloween costumes, Mickey’s Mouse-querade party trick-or-treating at sea and more.

From early November through December, Disney Cruise Line's Very Merrytime Cruises have characters dressed in festive garb, a tree-lighting ceremony, holiday décor and visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
