Disney Cruise Line is returning to Atlantic Canada for the first time in nearly four years

Disney Cruise Line has unveiled its 2027/2028 itineraries, and it’s coming back to Canada’s Atlantic coast for the first time in almost four years.

The announcement comes a day after the iconic cruise line teased coordinates on its Instagram account, hyping fans up for what was to come.

Though a number of exciting tidbits were shared, such as its return to New York City, offering more cruises to several destinations, Disney Cruise Line revealed it would return to Canadian waters by next year.

“Disney Cruise Line is proud to be a leader in family cruising, helping our guests create lasting memories in even more destinations,” said Tracy Wilson, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Cruise Line Operations.
