On first glance, cash rates for the 2023 DVC Member Cruise do not appear to be all that terrible as compared to previous Member Cruises, while point rates are almost double what the value of those points would be if you chose to rent them and pay cash for the cruise instead.


DVC Members looking to book the 2023 DVC Member Cruiser on the NEW Disney Wish should mark their calendars. Bookings begin for this member-exclusive sailing on Saturday – July 23rd, 2022 at 10:00am, EST!

The 2023 DVC Member Cruise will be aboard the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish. The newest member sailing will take place in September 2023. It will start at Port Canaveral on September 4, 2023, and return on September 8, 2023.
