These thoughtful additions make the Member Cruise a truly memorable experience and an excellent way to create lasting memories with fellow DVC enthusiasts.
Members will also enjoy Disney Cruise Line’s signature features, such as fine dining, Broadway-style entertainment, and family-friendly onboard activities, all delivered with Disney’s signature attention to detail.
Booking Process & Pricing
Booking for the 2026 Member Cruise opens on Saturday, March 22, 2025, through DVC Member Services. To ensure a smooth reservation process, members should be prepared with the following information for all travelers in their party:
- Full names, addresses, and dates of birth
- Castaway Club numbers (if applicable)
- Details of any dietary restrictions or medical accommodations
Since cabin classes are expected to sell out quickly, it’s a good idea to have several preferences in mind when booking.
The cruise can be paid for using DVC points, cash, or a combination of both. However, each passenger’s fare must be paid in full using a single payment method—either points or cash. Full payment is required at the time of booking. A points chart and cash pricing details will be released ahead of the booking date, allowing members to plan their budgets accordingly.
