Disney Cruise Ship First Through Panama Canal’s New Locks
Disney Cruise Line made history over the weekend when Disney Wonder became the first passenger cruise ship to transit the Panama Canal’s new locks.
The 2,713 passenger Disney Wonder was transformed in late 2016, expanding the length of the Disney Wonder to 984 feet.
Headlining the ship’s enhancements are new imaginative spaces for children – including areas themed to the Marvel Universe and Disney’s “Frozen” – a jazzy restaurant inspired by Disney’s “Princess and the Frog,” and an authentic neighborhood English pub with subtle nods to classic Disney films.
The Disney Wonder Panama Canal crossing is part of a 14-night voyage from Port Canaveral, Fla., to San Diego, where the ship will sail cruises to Baja, Mexico, before a summer season from Vancouver to Alaska.
