The story

What makes it different

Disney Wonder is the smallest ship in the Disney fleet and the second the line ever ordered, delivered by Fincantieri a year after Disney Magic and effectively identical to her.

The differences are decorative and easy to miss: Art Nouveau interiors against Magic's Art Deco, and Donald Duck rather than Goofy suspended over the stern. Externally the pair are twins — same 294-metre hull, same twin-funnel liner profile, same eleven passenger decks.

Her size is now her advantage. At around 83,000 gross tons she can work Alaska out of Vancouver and reach ports the Wish-class ships cannot, and two substantial refits have kept her interiors current — which matters for a ship approaching thirty years old in a fleet where the newest vessel is two and a half times her size.

The class

The Disney Wonder line

Magic class

Second of two. Refitted extensively in 2016 and again in 2019 under the line's modernisation programme.

The stern figure

Where Disney Magic carries Goofy over the stern, Wonder carries Donald Duck with Huey — the ships are otherwise near-identical externally.
