Disney Cruise Line just announced it will pull out of Australia following its upcoming winter season.
“A fond farewell for now. Join us this last season in Australia and New Zealand. We will be repositioning the Disney Wonder to another part of the world following its 2025-26 season in Australia and New Zealand. The response from guests during our local seasons has been overwhelmingly positive,” the cruise line said.
The Disney Wonder sails from Sydney and Melbourne from October through February 2026.
Although the ship won’t return, Disney says Australia and New Zealand ‘remain on our list of future considerations.’
A factor in the move is the upcoming Singapore homeporting of its newest and largest ship Disney Adventure.
It launches in the Lion City in December this year with a series of short sailings.
This will initially be three- and four-night cruises with no port calls.
“The Disney Adventure’s maiden sailing from Singapore in December will launch a magical expansion in Asia Pacific,” Disney said.
With a 6,000-guest capacity, Disney Adventure is by far its largest vessel.
