  • Celebrate Fall and Winter Holidays on Disney Wonder Cruises from California and Texas

    Celebrate Fall and Winter Holidays on Disney Wonder Cruises from California and Texas

    The Disney Wonder is about to make it final Alaska sailing of the year next week, but there is still so much to look forward to in the months ahead! Beginning in September, the Disney Wonder is heading back to San Diego, California, and Galveston, Texas, for a limited time each, and guests sailing from these two ports will enjoy special holiday celebrations in addition to sun-soaked beaches, onboard relaxation and all the magic that makes a Disney cruise vacation so “Wonder”-ful!

    Fun in the Sun from San Diego
    In September and October, the Disney Wonder will sail to Baja and the Mexican Riviera from beautiful San Diego. Baja sailings visit Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico, while Mexican Riviera cruises feature stops at Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán and Cabo San Lucas. All of these destinations offer stunning beaches and exhilarating water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking.

    During this time, all Disney ships will undergo ghoulish makeovers for Halloween on the High Seas, and the Disney Wonder is no exception! If you’re planning to join one of these voyages, get ready for spooky parties, lively entertainment, elaborate décor and tons of tasty treats. Oh, and don’t forget your costumes!

    And for the ultimate Disney land-and-sea experience, guests can pair a cruise from San Diego with an Adventures by Disney Short Escape to Disneyland and Southern California. This guided group vacation provides a behind-the-scenes look at places where Disney magic is made, including private tours of The Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering, VIP experiences at Disneyland Resort and an exclusive visit to Walt Disney’s Disneyland apartment!

    Tropical Holiday Celebrations from Galveston
    In November and December, the Disney Wonder will return to Galveston for a variety of Caribbean and Bahamian itineraries. Caribbean cruises include stops at iconic tropical destinations like Cozumel, Mexico, and the islands of Jamaica and Grand Cayman. Bahamian sailings stop at Nassau, Bahamas, and Key West, Florida, and every one of these voyages includes a day at Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay!

    As part of our fleetwide Very Merrytime Cruises celebrations, most sailings from Galveston will feature fun-filled winter holiday events, themed parties, family activities, stem-to-stern decorations and more! Even Castaway Cay is all decked out for the holidays during these extra-special sailings. Here’s another tip: If you’re coming onboard during the winter holiday season, make sure to have your list for Santa ready… he’ll be here too!

    With incredible home ports, dazzling destinations and fun holiday festivities added to all signature Disney Cruise Line entertainment, dining and relaxation, guests are in for a real treat this fall and winter.

    Get A First Look at Disney’s New Cruise Ships With New Concept Art

    Disney Cruise Line has the most fleet beautiful ships at sea, and the three newest vessels setting sail in 2021, 2022 and 2023 will be no exception. A first rendering was revealed today by Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger at The Walt Disney Company’s annual shareholders meeting and the early look depicts the magnificent exterior of the new Disney ships, which will elevate family cruise vacations to a whole new level.

    In keeping with the distinct Disney Cruise Line style, the new ships will embody the elegance and romance of the golden age of ocean cruising with unique touches all their own. The three new vessels will offer more innovation, new technologies, spectacular entertainment and more Disney stories and characters than ever before. Ingenuity and innovation from stem to stern will amaze and delight Disney Cruise Line guests of all ages.

    On our new ships, we will bring Disney’s iconic stories and franchises to life in thrilling and surprising ways, building on the creativity we’ve introduced across our existing fleet. Just over the past several years we have added innovations such as Marvel and Star Wars themed spaces in our kids’ clubs…dazzling stage shows like “Beauty and the Beast” that are unrivaled in their originality and visual presentation…and an entirely new genre of dining experience combining live entertainment, storytelling and interactive moments at our Tiana’s Place and Rapunzel’s Royal Table restaurants.

    Each new ship will be approximately 140,000 gross tons – slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy – and each is currently planned to include about 1,250 guest staterooms. While design plans, ship names and itineraries are still in development, we are already dreaming up exciting new ways to create the world’s most magical oceangoing adventures.

    These new vessels will be powered by one of the cleanest-burning fuels available, liquefied natural gas, or LNG.

    You might say Disney Cruise Line is on the threshold of reimagining the cruise industry once again, just like we did in 1998 with our very first ship. I couldn’t be more excited about the expansion of our fleet, and I know our guests will be, too.
