IN NEWS Disney fans have been awaiting a long time, Disney Wonder, Disney’s cruise line, will be coming Down Under. The magical cruise will be departing from four home ports: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia, as well as Auckland, New Zealand.

Since its inception in 1998, the Disney Cruise Line has never sailed to Australia or New Zealand, opting instead to only sail out of North America and Europe. But now, antipodean Disnerds young and old will have the opportunity to set sail with Captains Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and Goofy and Pluto, in addition to characters from the Star Wars and Marvel universes.

When is Disney Cruise coming to Australia?

The first of these cruises will set sail from Sydney Harbour on October 28, 2023, and Disney plans to run the cruises from Australia until February 2024.

Bookings will open to the general public from Thursday 29 September 2022 at 8am AEST / 11am NZDT.
