Disney Fantasy to sail from Southampton in European debut season

Disney Cruise Line ship Disney Fantasy is to sail from Southampton as it makes its first appearance in Europe next summer.

The ship, which entered service in 2012, will sail from the UK port between late July and September as part of its debut deployment in Europe in 2025.

The cruises from the UK will be a mix of three, four and five-night sailings to destinations including Spain, Norway and around the British Isles.

The 2,500-passenger vessel, which is about 40% larger than the line’s first two ships Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, will initially operate five to 12-night cruises from Barcelona and Civitavecchia in Italy between May and July.

One 12-night sailing to the Greek Islands will feature three stops in Greece, two in Italy and Valetta in Malta.

New ship Disney Treasure will follow its inaugural season with seven-night itineraries from Port Canaveral in Florida to the eastern and western Caribbean. 

It will be one of four ships based in Florida in summer 2025, with three operating from Port Canaveral and one from Fort Lauderdale.

Disney Magic will homeport in Port Canaveral for the first time since summer 2016, running four- and five-night sailings to The Bahamas and both of Disney’s private islands. 

Disney Wish will also sail from Port Canaveral, offering three- and four- night sailings to Nassau and Disney’s Castaway Cay private island. 

Disney Dream will sail from Fort Lauderdale on three- to five-night sailings to one or both of Disney’s island destinations along with Nassau or Cozumel.

Disney Magic and Disney Dream will serve Disney Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the Bahamas island of Eleuthera.

Disney Wonder cover Alaska from Vancouver, with five-, seven-, eight- and nine-night sailings from May to September.
