D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is officially happening this weekend. We cannot wait to see all of the amazing entertainment and see what exciting announcements Disney is going to make.
And today we are bringing you all the Disney Cruise Line announcements we think (or hope!) will be announced during D23 so let’s dive in!
Disney Cruise Line currently has eight ships in their fleet that sail all across the world. The newest ship, The Disney Adventure, set sail in Singapore just a few months ago. However, there are already new ships on Disney’s horizon.
We currently know that the new Disney Believe is set to begin sailing sometime in 2027. We also know this ship will have spaces dedicated to Encanto, Frozen, Moana, and The Little Mermaid. But that’s really everything. Disney has not revealed much about this highly anticipated ship, but will that change over the weekend?
Without further ado, here are our four Disney Cruise Line announcement predictions for D23:
#1 — Disney Believe Stage Show
We are hoping to get details about the Stage Shows we can expect to find on the new Disney Believe. Shows are an incredible part of Disney Cruise Line, and the shows based on Disney movies, like Moana or Hercules, are so amazing! And we are already excited to see whatever show Disney cooks up for their newest ship.
# 2 — New Ship Names
We also think we might get updated names for ships that are coming in the future. We know that more Disney ships are on the horizon, and it would be very exciting to find out what they will be called.
#3 — Updated Itineraries
We hope we’ll also get some updated itineraries. Currently, we still don’t know the cruise itineraries for late 2027, and we want to start booking our trips!
#4 — New Character and More Special Sea Days
And finally, we are hoping for some new characters and more special Sea Days. Disney has brought Bluey and Bingo to select sailings, and they currently do several fun themed Days at Sea, including Marvel Day at Sea and Pixar Day at Sea. We would be thrilled if we got some new characters and even more special sailings!
The truth is Disney could announce ANYTHING at D23, but thankfully we will be keeping a close eye on all the panels and keeping you informed of any news all weekend long, so stay tuned with Disney Food Blog so you never miss any D23 news!

Something no one on YouTube talks about or explores on Disney Cruiseline is the 1820 Society. I think it would be helpful to share on the vlog that when children age out of the kids’ clubs, there is still a special place and group for them — when they are still too young to participate in everything in the adult areas — and maybe don’t want to be stuck with their parents all the time. My daughter had been going on DCL since she was three — she loved all the kids’ clubs — but when we took her on the Fantasy to celebrate her high school graduation, she was so sad that her kids’ club days were over. Fortunately, I mentioned this in passing to a cast member on the ship, and they told us about 1820 events. We’ve been on several DCL trips since then, and she has enjoyed 1820 every time. Your team should check it out and let other families know. It made all the difference for ours. (Whenever the group meets at Cove Cafe or the pay-for ice cream parlor — the specialty treats and coffees are free for 1820!)
