Disney Returns to Prince Edward Island with Wish in 2027

Disney Cruise Line will sail the Disney Wish into Port Charlottetown on October 27, 2027, marking the first visit by a Disney ship to Prince Edward Island in almost 10 years. The last Disney vessel to call there was the Disney Magic in October 2017. This sailing will be part of a seven-night round-trip voyage departing New York City on October 24, also stopping in Sydney and Halifax before returning October 31.

The Wish's Canadian itinerary represents a significant expansion of Disney's fall New York City season. This will be the first Wish-class ship to operate from New York, and the seven-night sailing is the longest round-trip route Disney is offering from the city during its limited 2027 fall season. Disney has confirmed this will be the Wish's only seven-night Canadian itinerary from New York, making it an exclusive offering for passengers interested in exploring Atlantic Canada's ports.

Cruise passengers boarding in New York will experience a rare combination: the newer, sophisticated amenities of the Wish class paired with a slower, port-rich route through Canada's maritime provinces. The late-October timing positions the sailing during fall foliage season and takes advantage of cooler, scenic weather along the Atlantic coast. Port Charlottetown and regional tourism officials see the return as an opportunity to extend cruise season beyond traditional summer peaks and showcase the region's autumn appeal.

For cruise planners, this 2027 sailing offers something distinct within Disney's New York-based schedule: a longer immersion in Canadian ports rather than the quicker Caribbean or Bahamas getaways typically favored by the line. Passengers should expect this itinerary to book quickly given the novelty of the Wish in New York and the scarcity of Canadian sailings. Bookings are likely to open in fall 2026.
