Disney Returns to Prince Edward Island with Wish in 2027
If you're eyeing the Disney Wish's fall 2027 New York season, mark October 24, 2027 for departure and October 31 for return on the seven-night round-trip sailing to Charlottetown, Sydney and Halifax. This is Disney's only seven-night Canadian itinerary from New York that season, and the Wish's first-ever sailing from New York City. Check availability now since it's described as a limited fall season offering.
Disney picking Prince Edward Island for the Wish's New York debut is a calculated bet on off-peak demand ā Port Charlottetown's Mike Cochrane says as much, framing this as an effort to grow visitation beyond peak season. My read: Disney is using a Wish-class ship's first-ever New York sailing to test a longer, higher-yield Canadian itinerary rather than repeat short Bahamas runs. The nearly decade-long gap since the Disney Magic's 2017 Charlottetown call suggests Disney sees this as reopening the market, not maintaining it. Winners are Atlantic Canada's shoulder-season tourism operators; the ironic twist is that Disney needed a Wish-class ship's flagship New York debut to justify the trip. If I were booking, I'd watch how this seven-night itinerary sells before assuming it becomes a recurring fixture.
