disney comes to town in 2011
For the first time ever, Disney Cruise Line will permanently base a ship on the West Coast beginning in 2011. The Disney Wonder, currently based in the Caribbean, will split its time between Mexico cruises out of Los Angeles and Alaska cruises out of Vancouver.
The Disney Wonder is a ship that is distinguished for its sophisticated design and modern innovation. The Disney Wonder was specially constructed with families in mind, combining sleek style with a splash of fun. Today, it is one of the most revered and recognizable ocean liners in the world, inspiring awe wherever it pulls into port.
The Disney Wonder has 10 massive decks, a total length of 964 feet, and a gross tonnage of 83,000. It has the capacity to comfortably accommodate 2,400 passengers, along with 945 Cast and Crew Members to cater to the needs of Guests on each and every voyage, from dawn until dusk.
The interior of the Disney Wonder reflects all the majesty and beauty of the seas, with its swirling wave patterns, marble accents and touches of Venetian glass adding brilliance to the Art Nouveau décor. A bronze statue of Ariel from the classic animated Disney film The Little Mermaid greets Guests in the lobby. The same sophistication and fun that mark this distinctive part of the ship is found throughout the vessel.
Subtle nods to the mouse that started it all are hidden throughout the ship, from the etched-in-pewter characters in the atrium railings to the hidden micro-mini Mickeys in Palo’s china pattern. Perhaps what this ship does best though is prove that “elegance” and “family friendly” don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Staterooms on board the Disney Wonder feature modern comforts, ample space (25 percent larger than the industry average) and elegant nautical decor. Most have split bathrooms—a feature perfect for families & and a cruise line industry first!
While many cruise lines offer excellent children’s programs, Disney offers all that plus plenty of options suitable for a family to enjoy together, from kite-making workshops to game shows and evening stage revues. In addition, the ship offers adults numerous places to call their own, including an adults-only pool, café, and restaurant and Route 66 – the ship’s “roadside” adults-only entertainment district, featuring the hottest bars and clubs.
So call me today to book a cruise on the Disney Wonder and discover for yourself the abundant comforts, exceptional service and timeless beauty of a ship that captures the heart of every Guest who steps on board.
