Disney Wish
Wish class · Caribbean & Bahamas, Mediterranean, Northern Europe & Fjords
The first Wish-class ship, launched in 2022 and the first Disney Cruise Line ship built with LNG fuel, establishing the standard for the current generation. Since launch, it has primarily operated 3- and 4-night Bahamas cruises from Port Canaveral, but in summer 2027 it will be deployed to Europe for the first time in its class, offering 3- to 10-night Mediterranean and Northern European itineraries from Barcelona, Civitavecchia (Rome), and Southampton. Features include the AquaMouse ride running from bow to stern, dining shows with character appearances, and Marvel- and Star Wars-themed lounges, creating a high-density experience even on short cruises. It is versatile enough for beginners trying a short itinerary and travelers targeting a longer European itinerary in 2027.
