Disney Believe will homeport at Port Everglades in December 2027
The new ship's first sailing is scheduled for December 18, 2027, followed by four- and five-night itineraries.
Disney Cruise Line and Port Everglades announced that Disney Believe will be based in Fort Lauderdale beginning in December 2027. The ship's maiden voyage is scheduled for December 18, with four- and five-night sailings to the Bahamas and Caribbean. The port set October 19, 2026, for public bookings to begin. This is an advance deployment plan and does not add ship capacity to the current winter season.
Family cruise demand can support hotel packages that solve practical arrival problems. Work through room configurations, early meals, luggage storage and transfers before pricing an offer. Keep the 2027 opportunity in the forward sales plan so it does not inflate this season's staffing or revenue assumptions.
