West Coast Celebrates Disney Cruise Announcements

For years anyone hoping to experience a Disney Cruise would have to travel to Florida.  The only exception to this was during a trial run of Mexican Riviera Disney Cruises departing from Los Angeles during the summer of 2005.  But now, as announced at the D23 Expo in Anaheim last week, West Coast residents have reason to celebrate because Disney Cruise Line® is bringing the Disney Wonder to the West Coast beginning in 2011!  Disney Cruise Line® will be offering seven night Mexican Riviera cruises  beginning in January, and perhaps even more exciting to Disney enthusiast cruisers, is that for the first time ever, Disney Cruise Line® will sail to Alaska! 

Beginning May 3, 2011, the Disney Wonder will make 18 seven-night sailings to Alaska from Vancouver, B.C. with the last cruise departing Aug. 30, 2011.  These cruises will depart and return on Tuesdays.  This highly sought after cruise will sail through Southern Alaska and stop in Tracy Arm Fjord, Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan.  To accommodate the cooler weather of Alaska, an indoor cafe with floor-to-ceiling windows will be added to allow cruisers to enjoy the natural beauty and grandeur of Alaska.  Rates start at $939 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy and can be booked as early as September 28, 2009.

The Disney Wonder will arrive in Southern California in January to offer seven night Mexican Riviera cruises January 23 - April 17 and September 25 - December 18, 2011.  These Disney journeys will depart from the Port of Los Angeles and visit Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. Cruises will depart and return on Sundays.  Rates start at $639 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy and can also be booked beginning September 28, 2009.  For the ultimate Disney experience add on a few days at the Disneyland® Resort to the beginning or end of your cruise! 

In the meantime, there is still plenty of fun-in-the-sun to be had in the Caribbean.   And now, kids age 17 and under sail FREE on most 3- and 4-night cruises for travel January 7-April 15, 2010!   This promotion is based on two full-fare guests in the same stateroom and is subject to availability.

These offers are anticipated to sell out quickly, so book your cruise today!  Call our cruise specialist at 877.510.2929 to reserve your West or East Coast Disney Cruise.

Government taxes and fees are not included.  Additional guests after the first two guests in any stateroom sail for reduced rates.
