For fans of the West Coast itineraries, this news is a game-changer. The agreement ensures Disney priority access to the B Street cruise terminal, allowing for more frequent departures and a broader range of seasonal trips to Baja and the Mexican Riviera.

Jose Fernandez, Vice President of Port Strategy for Disney Cruise Line, noted that San Diego has been a favorite for guests for over a decade. This commitment supports Disney’s “long-term growth” while continuing to be a major player in the local economy.

This partnership is making waves in more ways than one:

• 1 Million Passengers: Disney expects to bring over a million guests through the port over the course of the agreement.
• A First in 20 Years: This is the first time in over two decades that a cruise line has offered a minimum annual guarantee at the Port of San Diego.
• Economic Boost: The deal is set to inject millions into the region, supporting local businesses and jobs tied to tourism and port activity.

The excitement is already building for the upcoming 2026-2027 season, which will see two beloved ships calling San Diego home:

Disney Cruise Line isn’t just visiting; they are part of the community. From career development programs with Junior Achievement of San Diego to environmental conservation efforts with San Diego Coastkeepers, Disney continues to focus on youth empowerment and protecting the beautiful California coastline.

As Disney Cruise Line enters a period of “unprecedented global growth,” San Diego remains a primary gateway for that signature Disney storytelling at sea.
