Disney Cruise Line to Sail Out of New Orleans for First Time
by Daniel McCarthy
In early 2020, the Disney Wonder will embark on a variety of Caribbean and Bahamian cruises from New Orleans – the first time Disney Cruise Line will have a home port in Louisiana. In addition, the Disney Wonder will sail from San Diego, California, to exciting ports of call in Baja and the Mexican Riviera. (Todd Anderson, photographer)
The Disney Cruise Line will make its Big Easy debut in early 2020. The line is set to sail Wonder out of New Orleans, the first of its ships ever to depart from the city, in February 2020. The ship will sail six cruises during its time in New Orleans — three will be Western Caribbean itineraries (one four-nights, one six, and one seven); one will be a seven-night Bahamian sailing; and the last will be a 14-day Panama Canal cruise.
Disney is also making its return to Hawaii in 2020 when Wonder sails to Honolulu from Vancouver on a nine-night itinerary on Apr. 29; and then sails a reverse, 10-day itinerary of Honolulu to Vancouver on May 8.

The 2020 itineraries will open to booking next month, starting Oct. 1. Disney will first roll out the booking opportunities to its Castaway Club members: Platinum members on Oct. 1, Gold members on Oct. 3, Silver members on Oct. 3, and all guests on Oct. 4.
