We are so glad to bring something new to those who may have never experienced this type of Disney magic before.

Disney Magic at Sea cruises

In fact, the Disney Wonder is set to embark on Disney Magic at Sea cruises through February 2024. There will be a range to choose from with sails from two to six nights, and departing from four home ports: Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, Australia; and Auckland, New Zealand.

Each of these limited-time voyages is specially curated to immerse guests from Down Under in their favorite Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars, stories. Meanwhile, these characters will be enjoyed through great entertainment, dining and experiences on every cruise.

South Pacific itineraries

During the repositioning voyages between Honolulu, Hawaii, and Sydney, Australia in October 2023 and February 2024, new itineraries will be available. In fact, the Disney Wonder will be able to offer the cruise line’s first-ever South Pacific itineraries. On these new sailings, the ship’s guests will have the chance to experience beautiful destinations like Fiji and Samoa.

For those who can’t wait to get started, bookings open to the public on October 6, 2022, on disneycruise.com. Alternatively, give them a call on 888-325-2500 to book your spot.
