— Caribbean Journal

Disney Cruise Line is significantly expanding its footprint in Puerto Rico by scheduling eight total visits to San Juan during fiscal year 2028. Confirmed by the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, this upcoming deployment features six homeport operations alongside two transit calls, utilizing vessels such as the Disney Destiny, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish. Marking a major milestone, the 2027-2028 winter season will serve as the first instance of Disney utilizing San Juan as a homeport during the peak period of the Caribbean cruise calendar. Local tourism authorities project that these eight targeted calls will inject approximately $7.2 million in economic activity, bolstered by homeport operations typically driving higher passenger spending than standard transit visits.

  • Disney Cruise Line has planned eight San Juan calls for fiscal year 2028.
  • The 2027-2028 winter season marks Disney's first use of San Juan as a homeport during the peak Caribbean cruise period.
  • Puerto Rico tourism officials estimate the operations will generate an economic impact of roughly $7.2 million.
