Disney Cruises will soon begin sailing from New Orleans

The Disney Cruise Line is coming to The Big Easy! The company just announced its upcoming travel itineraries and New Orleans is the newest departure port added to the growing list of Disney destinations.

The anticipated announcement came on Thursday, Sept. 27 via social media and a live press conference outlining the plans for the 2020 travel season.

With Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen from “The Princess and the Frog” on hand live from Walt Disney World’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort, the Disney Cruise Line outlined the details for the exciting new voyages setting sail from New Orleans, Lousiana. Interested travelers can start booking their Mardi Gras voyages starting Oct. 4 by visiting the Disney Cruise Line official website.

For the first time ever, the Disney Wonder will sail from New Orleans to the Caribbean and the Bahamas starting in February 2020. The Disney Wonder will have six cruises during its stay in New Orleans, including four-, six- and seven-night Western Caribbean sailings; a seven-night Bahamian cruise; and a 14-night Panama Canal voyage. The departures will occur Feb. 7 through March 6.

A number of these new sailings take advantage of New Orleans peak celebration time: Mardi Gras! Passengers looking to enjoy some of the Mardi Gras festivities can book a stay either before or after their sailing to get the entire New Orleans experience.
