Disney Cruise Line has quickly become a favourite among Australian and New Zealand cruisers thanks to the magical experiences onboard the Disney Wonder. With news that the Wonder will leave our shores after the 2025/26 season, many fans are asking the big question: Will Disney Cruise Line return in 2027?
The Disney Wonder will complete its 2025/26 Australian and New Zealand cruise season before moving to another part of the world.
This is part of Disney Cruise Line’s expansion in the Asia-Pacific region, which will see the Disney Adventure launch from Singapore in December 2025.
There are no confirmed Australian or New Zealand sailings for the 2026/27 season. However, Disney Cruise Line has confirmed that local cruises remain a strong consideration for future itineraries.
The positive response from Australian and Kiwi guests has shown Disney that this is a valuable market, so a return is very possible.
The final scheduled season begins on 19 October 2025 and will run through early 2026. This will be the last opportunity for now to sail on the Wonder from local ports.

Disney has not yet announced the exact location. The repositioning is connected to the launch of the Disney Adventure from Singapore, which will bring Disney Cruise Line experiences to new destinations in Southeast Asia.
Even without the Disney Wonder sailing locally, Australians can still enjoy Disney cruises by:
Booking the Disney Adventure from Singapore starting in December 2025
Joining overseas Disney cruises in Europe, the Caribbean, Alaska, and the Pacific
Arranging fly-cruise packages for international sailings through travel advisers
From Broadway-style shows and themed dining to character meet-and-greets and immersive entertainment, Disney Wonder has brought the magic of Disney to sea for thousands of local travellers. This has left many hoping for a quick return.
Disney Cruise Line will release more itineraries for 2026 and 2027 in the coming months. These will include a mix of brand new destinations and returning favourites, with the possibility of Australian sailings in the future.
In Summary:
Last Australian season: October 2025 to early 2026
2026/27: No local cruises confirmed but a future return is possible
New focus: Disney Adventure from Singapore, starting December 2025
