Disney’s Two Alaska Ships Have Already Swapped Glaciers for Baja

Disney Cruise Line’s two-ship Alaska season is over, and both vessels have already moved south. Disney Magic and Disney Wonder arrived in Vancouver in May and each completed 15 weeklong Alaska cruises before the season ended in late September. The itineraries called at Icy Strait Point, Ketchikan and Skagway, with scenic cruising at Dawes Glacier and the Inside Passage.

It was the Magic’s first season in the region. The Wonder, meanwhile, spent time in the Esquimalt Graving Dock in Victoria for a drydock during the summer, a rare mid-season break for a ship working Alaska.

Now both are sailing from San Diego. The Magic, which was built in 1998, runs three- to seven-night cruises to the Mexican Riviera and Baja California through early November, calling at Catalina Island, Ensenada, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. After that it heads out on a 14-night Panama Canal voyage that ends in Galveston.

The Wonder stays on the West Coast through late April 2027, mixing short Baja trips with six- and seven-night Mexican Riviera cruises that also stop in Mazatlán. Both ships return to Alaska next summer, with additional Vancouver departures planned between May and September.
