We finally have the date! Disney Cruise Line has announced that bookings for the Disney Believe will open October 19, 2026, giving guests their first opportunity to reserve a sailing aboard the newest ship joining the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
The Disney Believe will set sail on its maiden voyage December 18, 2027, from Fort Lauderdale. Following the inaugural sailing, the ship will continue sailing from Fort Lauderdale on 4- and 5-night cruises to The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Today’s big Disney Believe reveal has also given us a much better idea of what guests will find onboard. Among the announcements are Oaken’s Table, a new Frozen-inspired restaurant; Cafe Kakamora, inspired by Moana; a Big Hero 6-themed cafe; The Wishing Well lounge; and the return of the Inside Out-inspired Joyful Sweets. Disney also revealed a new Encanto stage production and Gazelle’s, a two-story venue coming to the ship.
With bookings opening October 19, though, there’s no need to wait until that morning to start planning.
