In early 2021, Disney Cruise Line will return to New Orleans for a limited engagement with sailings to the Bahamas and Caribbean, including Castaway Cay. Cruises to tropical destinations from Texas, California and Florida will continue.

Back to the Big Easy

Disney Wonder will return to the bayou from late January through February 2021, following its first season there, to come in early 2020. A pair of four- and five-night cruises to the Western Caribbean kick off the season from New Orleans. The five-night voyage includes a visit to Progreso, a new port for Disney.

Three seven-night sailings to the Bahamas with a stop at Castaway Cay plus a 14-night Panama Canal cruise, round out the offerings.

Disney Wonder recently gained New Orleans touches including Tiana’s Place restaurant, with jazz and street party celebrations inspired by the Disney animated film ‘The Princess and the Frog.’

Galveston and San Diego

Disney Wonder will also return to Galveston and San Diego in early 2021. Western Caribbean cruises from the Texas port include a series of four- and six-night sailings to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. One seven-night departure will stop at Key West, Nassau and Castaway Cay.

Following the New Orleans sailings, Disney Wonder heads to California for a variety of cruises to Baja and the Mexican Riviera from San Diego.

Bahamas and Caribbean getaways from Florida

Three Disney ships will sail to the Bahamas and Caribbean from Florida in early 2021, and every one stops at Castaway Cay.

From Miami, Disney Magic will offer three-, four- and five-night Bahamas and Western Caribbean cruises.

From Port Canaveral, Disney Fantasy will sail seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries.

And from Port Canaveral, Disney Dream will sail three- and four-night Bahamas cruises.
