Detailed answer
Disney Wish was built by Meyer Werft at Papenburg in Germany and made its maiden voyage in July 2022. It runs on liquefied natural gas, measures about 144,000 gross tons and 341 metres in length, and carries about 2,508 guests at double occupancy, or up to about 4,000, with a crew of about 1,555. Its facilities include Disney-themed dining such as Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure and Worlds of Marvel, a Mickey Mouse-themed water coaster, clubs for children and teenagers, and adults-only areas. The ship normally sails from Port Canaveral in Florida, and in 2027 it spends its first season in Europe, from late April to September. It is due in Gibraltar on Wednesday 5 May 2027, 07:15 to 17:15, on a 13-night crossing from Port Canaveral to Barcelona that also calls at Funchal in Madeira and Cartagena, and on Monday 19 July 2027, 06:45 to 14:15, on a six-night one-way cruise from Barcelona to Southampton that also calls at Lisbon and Vigo.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
Can you sail on it from nearby?
