All Aboard! Disney Magic’s Alaskan Adventure Begins in 2026
The wonders of Alaska are calling! Disney Cruise Line is heading back in summer 2026, and the Disney Magic will be making its Alaskan debut, ready to explore the stunning glaciers, wildlife, and natural beauty of this incredible frontier.

Joining the Disney Wonder, which has explored Alaska each summer since 2011, the Magic will expand Disney Cruise Line’s presence in the region. The Wonder’s Alaskan itineraries will continue through the summer of 2025.
Prior to the Magic’s arrival, the Disney Wonder has been Disney Cruise Line’s only ship to explore Alaska. A 2016 refurbishment, including a reinforced hull, prepared the Wonder for navigating icy waters. Reflecting the cruise industry’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the Wonder, in line with CLIA guidelines, utilizes advanced wastewater and air emissions technology and has banned single-use plastics.
The Disney Wonder’s long-standing presence in Alaska may explain why it’s the only Disney Cruise Line ship without a major water slide like the AquaDunk found on the Disney Magic. As the Magic prepares for its Alaskan debut, it’s expected to follow the Wonder’s lead in prioritizing environmental protection. While the Magic underwent a brief refurbishment in 2023, Disney hasn’t publicly announced any Alaska-specific upgrades, such as a reinforced hull. However, such modifications may have already been made or could be implemented before its inaugural Alaskan voyage.
