‘On these limited-time sailings, the ship is the destination and our amazing Disney Cruise Line crew can’t wait to welcome guests on board as they are immersed in their favourite stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars.’
The cruise will offer kids the chance to explore a multi-level model of Andy’s Room from ‘Toy Story’, see characters perform in Broadway-quality shows and learn how to be a superhero at the Marvel Super Hero Academy.
Some of Disney’s favourite characters including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Pluto will also be on the cruise for guests to meet.

It also offers a range of adult-only experiences including Quiet Cove pool, Palo restaurant and the Senses Spa & Salon.
The Disney Wonder also features several themed restaurants including Tiana’s Place where guests can meet Princess Tiana and try her New Orleans food and the Animator’s Palate which shows how characters come to life.
Cruises setting sail in Australia will last for two nights with prices starting at about AUD$810 per person in Melbourne, AUD$1070 per person in Sydney and AUD$1120 per person in Brisbane.
The Australian cruises will run for two nights while cruises from Auckland will run for three nights (pictured, characters performing for a Disney Cruise Line show)

It will be the first time Disney Cruises have visited Australia and NZ with the popular ships almost exclusively setting sail from North America and Europe.
