First Two-Ship Alaska Program for Disney Sails from Vancouver
Disney Cruise Line’s first two-ship season in Alaska is underway. Marking the company’s largest deployment in the region, the cruise program includes the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder.
The vessels arrived in the region in May, kicking off a series of cruises departing from Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada.
The Disney Magic started its first season in the region in late May following a drydock in Victoria.
The 1998-built ship is now offering weeklong cruises that sail roundtrip from the Canada Place Cruise Terminal and include visits to Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Skagway.
Following a winter deployment on the West Coast, the Disney Wonder also began its season in Alaska in May.
Offering similar itineraries, the 1,750-passenger vessel is sailing roundtrip from Vancouver for seven-night cruises to Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway.
Disney’s itineraries in the region are also highlighted by scenic cruising at Dawes Glacier and the Inside Passage.
The two ships are set to remain in Alaska through late September, each offering over 15 departures in the region.
Both ships are scheduled to offer fall cruises on the West Coast after the record-breaking season in the Pacific Northwest.
The Disney Magic will operate a series of itineraries to the Mexican Riviera and Baja California before embarking on a repositioning cruise to Texas.
The vessel’s season in the region runs through early November, when it is scheduled to offer a 14-night Panama Canal voyage that ends in Galveston.
Operating on the West Coast year-round, the Disney Wonder is set to offer cruises from San Diego through early 2027.
The vessel’s schedule includes both short cruises to Baja California and six- and seven-night itineraries to the Mexican Riviera.
In addition to Isla Catalina and Ensenada, the 1999-built ship is scheduled to make visits to Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlán.
