Disney also highlighted the return of Disney Cruise Line to Australia and New Zealand in the fall of 2024 for a second season of vacations
Disney Cruise Line, part of the entertainment behemoth Disney Group, has launched its inaugural sailing in the Australasia region with the departure of its cruiseliner Disney Wonder on October 28 for the inaugural ‘Disney Magic at Sea’ cruises for families in Australia and New Zealand.
According to a press statement, the two-to-six-night special sailings continue through February 2024, allowing guests to experience the magic of Disney right in their backyard on the Disney Wonder, with cruises departing from four different home ports, namely Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.
Disney Cruise Line says that guests will be immersed in their favorite Disney stories during these ‘Disney Magic at Sea’ cruises, with activities and spaces for everyone in the family to enjoy, including the imaginative dining and world-class entertainment that Disney Cruise Line is known for.
New versions of the “Heroes Unite” deck party and “Crush’s Totally Awesome Pool Party,” along with special character encounters, including Moana’s first appearance on the high seas, will allow guests to experience Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars stories and characters in new ways, it adds.
Disney also highlighted the return of Disney Cruise Line to Australia and New Zealand in the fall of 2024 for a second season of vacations, with departures running from October 2024 to February 2025.
The statement adds that on its return to Australia, the Disney Wonder will first embark on a set of bucket-list itineraries, sailing from Vancouver, Canada, to Honolulu, Hawaii, in late September 2024, with stops on the islands of Kauai, Maui, Hawaii and Oahu.
From Hawaii, families will set sail on a transpacific voyage to Sydney, Australia, that will visit once-in-a-lifetime destinations such as Fiji, American Samoa and New Caledonia.
The company says that the arrival of Disney Wonder in Australia is another part of Disney Cruise Line’s unprecedented expansion. With three new ships planned through 2025 and exciting new itineraries around the world, we are thrilled to bring ‘Disney Magic at Sea’ to families across the globe for the first time.
