Disney Fantasy Cancellations for October and November 2025

Sharing is caring!

Today, Disney Cruise Line notified guests booked on select Disney Fantasy sailings, starting with the October 20, 2025, 13-night Westbound Transatlantic cruise from Southampton to Port Canaveral, that the cruise is no longer available due to adjustments in the ship’s dry dock schedule.

As compensation, affected guests will receive a 20% discount on a future cruise.

For those wanting to rebook a revised 13-night Westbound Transatlantic cruise, this will be available to book beginning on February 6, 2025. 

The following cruises are affected:

  • 13-Night Westbound Transatlantic Cruise from Southhampton ending in Port Canaveral sailing on October 20, 205

  • 5-Night Bahamian Cruise from Port Canaveral sailing on November 7, 2025

With the cancellation of this sailing, the Disney Fantasy now has an itinerary gap from September 29, 2025, to November 16, 2025.

It isn’t yet known how long Disney Fantasy will be in dry dock – but we will publish the details of the new sailings here as soon as we know.

Here is the wording of the email that DCL sent out this morning.

We are writing with important information about your Disney Fantasy sailing on 10/20/25.

Our Disney Cruise Line ships undergo a dry dock every few years for needed maintenance and refurbishment. Due to an unplanned change in the scheduled dry dock dates for the Disney Fantasy, your sailing is no longer available. As a result, your reservation will be cancelled, and any funds applied to your reservation will be refunded back to the original form of payment.

We sincerely apologize for any disappointment this may cause and welcome the opportunity to assist you in rescheduling your sailing around the same timeframe. A revised 13-night Westbound Transatlantic cruise will be available to book beginning on February 6, 2025. Alternative sailings to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as well as sailings from Southampton, England, are currently available. In addition to the refund, we are offering each Guest on your sailing a 20% future cruise discount on their voyage fare*.

To redeem the 20% future cruise discount, please contact us (or have your travel agent contact us) on or after February 6, 2025, at 407-566-7797 or 1-866-325-6685 from the U.S.A. or when dialing from the United Kingdom, 0800 171 2317.

We truly appreciate your understanding regarding this necessary cancellation and hope that you will sail with us soon.

Sincerely,

Cast & Crew

Disney Cruise Line

* To redeem the 20% future cruise discount on your voyage fare, you will simply need to reference your current reservation number to receive the discount on your next cruise taken prior to February 6, 2027. We would also like to note that this offer is non-transferable, has no cash value, and is valid for only those Guests booked on the 10/20/25, voyage. The offer is valid only for cruises departing on or before February 6, 2027; not valid for maiden voyage sailings and blockout dates apply; limit one (1) future cruise discount per eligible Guest. Future cruise discount is only available to Guests sailing on published fares.

It will be interesting to see how the new pricing for the cruise will vary from the original opening day prices.
