Although there is no official word from Disney Cruise Lines just yet, it seems that the Disney Wonder is set on course to sail to the West Coast via the Panama Canal.
This is hopeful news for those who have been wondering if the Disney Wonder will return to San Diego for her scheduled sailings for what remains of 2021.
The Disney Panama Canal Cruise is usually a journey of approximately 14 nights. This longer cruise is very popular with Disney Cruisers.
However, the Disney Wonder is just sailing this Panama Canal transit with only a Crew onboard.
It is very expensive to sail through the Panama Canal and the Disney Wonder will only be spending a relatively short time in San Diego before having to sail back through the Panama Canal.
The journey back via the Panama Canal is due to start for the Disney Wonder on Sails on 11/5/21. It is unclear whether or not at this time whether this sailing would sail with guests.
It is perhaps surprising that Disney is sending the Disney Wonder back to the West Coast for such a short period of time, particularly as this involves two Panama Canal transits.
However, it does seem to be good news for those of us desperate to see the Disney Wonder back in San Diego again!
Nothing has yet been confirmed by Disney Cruise Lines, but here is the current schedule for cruises from San Diego in 2021.
