Disney Cruise Line returns to Australia and New Zealand in 2025/26
We are very pleased to report that Disney Cruise Lines have announced that they will return for a third season in Australia and New Zealand!
DCL unveiled their Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 seasons, which includes dates for Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
This is terrific news amidst a spate of cruise lines pulling out of the local market. Virgin Voyages announced earlier this year that they would not be returning for a second season, while P&O Australia will cease to operate as a separate entity to its parent company Carnival.
Curiously, some of the itineraries have changed. The 6-night NYE cruise to Noumea (that ran in 2023/24 and again in 2024/25) is now a 5-night from Sydney to the nearby Eden. There’s the addition of a 10-night cruise around New Zealand ending in Sydney over the Christmas period. Noumea now only appears in the repositioning cruises between Australia and Hawaii.
