Disney Cruise Line is planning on resuming sailings for the Disney Wonder on October 1st, 2021. These include California sailings, and the Panama Canal Sailing on November 5th. Sailings out of Galveston, Texas will be announced later.

On California sailings, all guests 12 years and older must be fully vaccinated. Guests 11 years and younger are not required to be vaccinated but must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken between 3 days and 24 hours before sailing. In addition, ALL guests regardless of age will be required to take a PCR COVID-19 test at the cruise terminal.

Fully vaccinated Guests who wish to disembark the ship while in a port of call can do so without the need to purchase a Disney Cruise Line Port Adventure. Guests who are vaccinated and wish to disembark the ship with unvaccinated children will need to purchase a Disney Cruise Line Port Adventure.

For the Panama Canal sailing, all guests regardless of age must be fully vaccinated. Guests ages 11 years and younger will not be able to sail. All guests must also undergo a Disney Cruise Line-paid PCR COVID-19 test at the terminal before boarding.

For California cruises, all 4-night sailings call on Cabo San Lucas with two sea days. All 3-night sailings call on Ensenada with one sea day. For the 14-night Panama Canal sailing, there will be an additional day at sea instead of a stop at Grand Cayman.
