Disney Wonder - Overview

Disney Cruise Line has four ships, the Magic, the Wonder, the Dream, and the Fantasy. The Dream and Fantasy are the two newest and two biggest ships, and they mainly sail in the Bahamas and Caribbean. The Magic and the Wonder may be smaller and older than the other two ships, but they do the bulk of the work and travel all over the world.

The Disney Wonder was our home for seven nights as we sailed through the majestic Inner Passage of Alaska. While the Wonder may be the second oldest ship in the Disney fleet, it is a beautiful ship with lots (11 decks) to explore.

Today we're going to give you an overview of all that the ship has to offer by deck.
