Disney Cruise Line has extended its homeport partnership with the Port of San Diego through at least 2031, according to a statement.
This is expected to double the number of Disney cruises out of the city each year, with more than one million Disney passengers expected to pass through the Port in this timeframe.
“San Diego has been an important part of our West Coast operations for more than a decade, and a place our guests love sailing from,” said Jose Fernandez, vice president of port strategy, development & operations, Disney Cruise Line.
“This new agreement supports our long-term growth and helps us continue contributing to the region’s economy.”
The deal secures a non-exclusive priority access to the Port’s North and South berths at the B Street cruise terminal for Disney.
The Port of San Diego added that this is the first time in more than 20 years that a cruise line has offered a minimum annual guarantee.
“This agreement not only enhances business operations between the Port, Disney and all our cruise line partners – it also supports a thriving cruise industry that injects millions into the region’s economy and welcomes thousands of visitors to our waterfront each year,” added Chair Ann Moore, Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners.
The port will welcome two Disney ships for the 2026-27 season.
The first one, the Disney Magic, is schedule to arrive in October, offering three- to seven-night voyages through November, followed by a 14-night Panama Canal transit to Galveston.
The second, the Disney Wonder, will homeport in San Diego from October 2026 through April 2027, sailing three- to seven-night itineraries to destinations including Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada and Puerto Vallarta.
The ship recently returned to the West Coast after a winter deployment in Australia and New Zealand.
