Grab your Mickey ears, New Yorkers: Disney Cruise Line is officially making its grand return to Manhattan’s Manhattan Cruise Terminal in fall 2027.

Marking its first return to the city in four years, you’ll no longer have to wait until you touch down in Orlando to get your Disney fix—the magic starts right here in the New York Harbor!

What to expect onboard the Disney Wish

As Disney’s 144,000-ton, castle-themed flagship, the Disney Wish carries roughly 4,000 guests and features some of the fleet’s most ambitious entertainment and dining.

AquaMouse: Disney’s first-ever “attraction at sea”—a 760-foot water coaster complete with audio, lighting effects, and immersive animated shorts

Themed Dining Experiences: Rotational dining that takes you straight into story worlds, including Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure (featuring live musical performances) and Worlds of Marvel, an interactive cinematic dinner experience

Adults-Only Refuges: Upscale lounges like the Star Wars: Hyperspace Lounge, an elegant lounge designed like a space vessel traveling through the galaxy, plus fine dining at Palo Steakhouse and Enchanté

Broadway-Style Shows: Nightly performances inside the Walt Disney Theatre, featuring a stage adaptation of The Little Mermaid and original productions
