The dates of the unknown ship in Sydney are listed here. The crossing will take place sometime in October 2023 based on the dates.
So, a two-week dry dock.
The main itineraries will be Australia/New Zealand but we don’t know any specifics beyond what people have sussed out looking at port schedules which is how we knew about Aus in the first place.Is it just going to keep going back and forth from Sydney to Honolulu then? Or will the permanent itinaries stay closer to Australia?
It will have its home port in Sydney and sail Australia with approximately several weeks to New Zealand and back. DCL is entering the Australian market to appeal to Aussie guests. The itineraries are shorter generally speaking and won't appeal to the US cruiser. They want new guests to dip their toe in and introduce the product.Is it just going to keep going back and forth from Sydney to Honolulu then? Or will the permanent itinaries stay closer to Australia?
The Australian/NZ itineraries were not yet released. I imagine they're going to have to time this alongside an Australian release in Australian dollars as this is going to be the bulk of their trade. Advertising and awareness in Australia needs to gear up. I imagine that will occur over the next week locally.I see the itinerary for Hawaii and South Pacific, but not New Zealand. Did they post the itinerary for that?
Yes I wonder (no pun intended ) this too. I live in Vancouver and would NOT want to cruise from here in MarchIt’s weird that the Wonder gets back to Vancouver in mid March. That’s way too early for Alaska.
I wonder if they’ll have her go down to SD for a couple of months.
Ohhhhh maybe Vancouver to LA, San Diego and Mexico?Yes I wonder (no pun intended ) this too. I live in Vancouver and would NOT want to cruise from here in March
I’m jealous, I love Vancouver… but yeah I agree about March!Yes I wonder (no pun intended ) this too. I live in Vancouver and would NOT want to cruise from here in March
I am so excited by this and cruising out of Brisbane, my home town on the Wonder will be so exciting!
The Disney Wonder will embark on these “Disney Magic at Sea” cruises through February 2024, ranging from two to six nights and departing from four home ports: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia; and Auckland, New Zealand.“Disney Magic at Sea” bookings open September 29 for Australia and New Zealand and repositioning sailings open October 6 for the general public.
Disney won't have any issues getting us Aussies on the Wonder! Aussies love cruising and more importantly love Disney - so a match made in heaven even if it is only for a short time. The only issue will be the price for most people. Having already sailed 3 times with Disney (1 * Dream and 2 * Wonder), I know that it is expensive, but totally worth every cent!
Probably because they still have to fulfill the San Diego port contract. Magic will take care of it in the fall, but the spring sailings still need to be covered. I'm assuming there will be a Pacific coastal cruise in early March and then back in May.It’s weird that the Wonder gets back to Vancouver in mid March. That’s way too early for Alaska.

Any chance they would do a couple of back and forths to Hawaii before the Alaska season starts up? We’d love to do one but kids are always in school and we can’t pull them. Would be great if we could do a Hawaii sailing over March Break!!It’s weird that the Wonder gets back to Vancouver in mid March. That’s way too early for Alaska.

Was hoping there would be but the ‘Magic at Sea’ makes me think these are modelled on the U.K. covid re-start sailings which didn’t have any.Do you know if it will will be going to any other ports in Australia or NZ?
