Disney Cruise Line and the Port of San Diego have extended their partnership through at least 2031, which will roughly double the number of Disney cruises sailing out of the Southern California city each year.

“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,” says Jose Fernandez, vice president of port strategy, development and operations for Disney Cruise Line. “This new agreement supports our long-term growth and helps us continue contributing to the region’s economy.”

The agreement gives Disney non-exclusive priority access to the north and south berths at the B Street cruise terminal.

Disney estimates more than a million passengers will pass through the port, representing the first time in more than 20 years that a cruise line has offered a minimum annual guarantee at the Port of San Diego. 

San Diego will welcome two Disney Cruise Line ships for the 2026-2027 season. Disney Magic arrives in October, offering three- to seven-night voyages through November followed by a 14-night Panama Canal transit to Galveston.

Disney Wonder will homeport in San Diego from October 2026 through April 2027, sailing three- to seven-night itineraries to destinations like Catalina Island, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada and Puerto Vallarta.

“We are grateful to continue our long-standing relationship with Disney Cruise Line,” says Ann Moore, chair of the port’s board of commissioners. “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.”
