The Disney Wish, Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, has arrived home! The Disney Wish arrived in Port Canaveral in Florida and is gearing up for its inaugural cruise in July.

From a Disney Cast Member;

I’m excited to share that our ship has come in! Just yesterday, the fifth and newest ship in our Disney Cruise Line fleet arrived at Port Canaveral in Florida after traveling nearly 4,768 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean from Bremerhaven, Germany.

This historic moment has been six years in the making, and included classic Disney-style fanfare, beloved characters and, of course, the iconic and fanciful “When You Wish Upon a Star” pouring from the ship’s horn as the Disney Wish sailed into port for the very first time.

Our incredible ship of wishes will immerse guests in Disney, Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar adventures in brand-new ways, and is filled with one-of-a-kind entertainment including AquaMouse — the first-ever Disney attraction at sea — all-new family dining experiences themed to “Frozen” and Marvel, and so much more.

I can’t believe that we’re getting so close to the debut of this enchanting new ship!

Be sure to tune in for the Disney Wish christening live at 11 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 29 on the Disney Parks Blog or on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and TikTok.

The Disney Wish will sail year-round from Port Canaveral, offering a series of three- and four-night Bahamas cruises to Nassau and Disney’s private island oasis, Castaway Cay, beginning July 14. For more information or to book a Disney vacation at sea, visit disneycruise.com.

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship is slated to arrive at Port Canaveral in only a few weeks, and details about the many events celebrating her arrival have just been released.

According to CruiseHive.com, the highly anticipated Disney Wish cruise ship is scheduled to arrive at Florida’s Port Canaveral on June 20. That day will mark the first of several events planned to celebrate the arrival of the new Disney cruise ship and to welcome her to the Disney Cruise Line fleet of ships.

Details related to the christening ceremony and maiden voyage of the new Disney Cruise Line ship have just been announced, as well as details about her arrival at her homeport in the Sunshine State.

The celebratory events taking place in honor of the new cruise ship will take place over several days–and all will take place before the Disney Wish makes her very first passenger voyage.

According to documents just approved this week by Port Canaveral commissioners, the Disney Wish will enjoy multiple celebrations as she finally, officially joins the Disney Cruise Line fleet–the first in the fleet to be in Disney’s Titan class of ships.

The Disney Wish, the first cruise ship to be added to the Disney Cruise Line fleet since the Disney Fantasy joined the fleet in 2012, is set to arrive in Port Canaveral on Monday, June 20. The ship’s arrival, along with the official welcome, will comprise an early morning event, scheduled for between 4:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m.

The event will take place at two locations at Port Canaveral–Terminal 8 and Terminal 10, both of which are located at the north end of Port Canaveral’s channel adjacent to the west turning basin. Media personnel will likely be located at these terminals as well, hoping for the perfect shot of the ship’s first entry into the port.

Disney Cruise Line ships usually dock at Terminal 8, but Terminal 10 has been used by Disney ships occasionally. Terminal 10 will likely be used more frequently by Disney once the Disney Wish joins the fleet.

Disney has planned a fitting welcome for the cruise line’s first new ship in 10 years, complete with fireboats, tugboats, a water salute, and “special effects,” for which no details were given.

Though she arrives at Port Canaveral on June 20, the Disney Wish won’t welcome any passengers aboard for more than 3 weeks.
