"As a home-based travel agent, I dedicate countless hours researching and crafting personalized travel experiences for my clients. I offer the same prices as the travel companies themselves, leveraging my access to a large consortium's exclusive perks and incentives. My compensation is solely based on completed bookings, often received after your trip concludes.

Therefore, I kindly request that you respect my time and expertise. If you're actively comparing options online or with other agents, please refrain from engaging my services until you're ready to commit. Ghosting or informing me of a booking made elsewhere after extensive planning is disheartening and unproductive.

I am genuinely passionate about creating unforgettable travel memories. If you value personalized service, access to exclusive deals, and a dedicated advocate, I'm here to help you plan your dream vacation (excluding standalone air travel for the time being, but I can assist with air as part of a package). Let's work together to make your travel aspirations a reality."

Disney Cruise Line shared more details on the expansion of its award-winning fleet, including the introduction of a new class of vessel and the addition of a fourth ship in the Wish class. These ships, which will debut between 2027 and 2031, will be constructed at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, and designed by Walt Disney Imagineering.

New Ship Class
The three vessels in Disney’s new ship class will feature industry-leading technology and design to expand Disney Cruise Line’s global reach and support its environmental goals. Able to carry 3,000 Guests and measuring approximately 100,000 gross tons, they will be 20 percent larger than the Disney Magic class and smaller than the Disney Dream and Disney Wish classes, ultimately allowing Disney Cruise Line to access more ports and destinations across the globe, bringing its world-class entertainment, incredible dining, Guest service, and uniquely Disney experiences to more families in more places. The three ships are planned for delivery in 2029, 2030 and 2031.

Among the lightest cruise ships of their size in the industry, the new vessels will save fuel with a streamlined hull, next-generation power and propulsion systems, and numerous other operations optimized for energy efficiency. In addition to an innovative design and the efficient use of building materials from bow to stern, the ships will be outfitted with energy-efficient systems and a battery system to support and supplement the main engines.

When in port, the new vessels can rely on shore power technology to turn off their engines and “plug in” to a port’s energy grid to run onboard systems. They will also have the capability and flexibility to operate on a variety of fuels, including hydrotreated vegetable oil and renewable methanol fuels, while remaining adaptable to additional fuel options that become available to the cruise industry. The new class will also continue Disney Cruise Line’s long-standing initiatives to minimize waste, conserve water and align with The Walt Disney Company’s 2030 environmental goals.

Fourth Wish Class Ship
In addition to this new class of vessel, Disney Cruise Line will introduce an additional sister ship to the Disney Wish, Disney Treasure, and Disney Destiny. The ship, set for delivery in 2027, will be approximately 144,000 gross tons, accommodate 4,000 Guests, and be powered by liquefied natural gas.

The four ship names, onboard experiences, itineraries and designs are still in development - stay tuned for updates!

Dear Guest,
We are currently conducting unplanned maintenance onboard Icon of the Seas.

We have outlined next steps and compensation details for you.

Additionally, we want you to come back and sail with us, so we're providing you with a Future Cruise Credit in the value of 100% of your cruise fare paid to be used towards another sailing.
You'll receive the Future Cruise Credit in approximately 14 business days.
Flights & Travel

An Epic Sea Change For All
We’re on a mission to create an Epic Sea Change for All with our crew, the partners we love, our Sailors who leave transformed for the better, and communities, oceans and environments that are truly cared for.

Set Sail The Virgin Way.

Adult-by-Design

This holiday is just for those 18 and over. No kidding. (See what we did there?) With elevated experiences curated with adults in mind, we’ve created a place where only your Sailors’ inner-child will be roaming free.

Relaxed Luxe

We’ve ditched buffets and pre-set dining times to bring your Sailors fresh flavors and unexpected pairings with made-to-order food from our 20+ unique eateries—all included. Dine on churrasco steak and lemon cheesecake at The Wake, mezze-style bites and glasses of rosé in the open air of The Dock, or get your crew together for a lively Korean BBQ free-for-all at Gunbae—all with views of the waves. No stuffiness, just premium service and endless options—all On Us.

Ordinary to Extraordinary
We didn’t just build a cruise, we set out to create a revolutionary way to explore the world. From longer stays and overnights at ports, to diverse entertainment and dining experiences, your Sailors will never want to sail any other way. Plus, all of our voyages always include over $600 in extras, like dining at 20+ unique eateries, WiFi, group fitness classes, tips, and essential drinks.

Boutique Glamour

Combining the luxury of a yacht with the diverse options of a larger ship, our Creative Collective designed an environment that inspires personal and experiential connection — spaces where the sea is always front and center. Whether you’re living large in a Tom Dixon-designed suite or taking in the views from a Sea Terrace, technology and sustainability are all around; tinted windows, LED lighting, eco-sensors, and thoughtfully-sourced materials are just a few of the design choices that help our ship use less energy, without sacrificing style.
