Disney Wonder Enhancements 2019

The wonderful world of Princess Tiana comes to life in new ways on the Disney Wonder with the addition of an exciting New Orleans-themed lounge that transports guests deeper into the heart of the city’s iconic French Quarter. The perfect complement to Tiana’s Place Restaurant, this jazzy new lounge comes alive throughout the day with live music and themed activities for everyone in the family.

The Disney Wonder debuted stem-to-stern enhancements for guests of all ages, including a redesigned Cove Café for adults. This exclusive retreat was redesigned as a coffee shop for world travelers, complete with warm, comfortable and trendy décor. With ample, seating and ocean views, Cove Café is the perfect place to sip a specialty coffee or tea throughout the day, and indulge in wine or a cocktail and light bites during the evening hours.

  • Disney Wonder ended her Alaskan sailing in September and entered a local dry dock in Vancouver area for 2 weeks

  • French Quarter Lounge replaced the Promenade Lounge located between the Atrium and Tiana’s Place Restaurant

  • The jazzy atmosphere of the French Quarter Lounge, also inspired by the Disney animated feature “The Princess and the Frog,” will evoke an airy outdoor space in New Orleans, surrounded by touches of iconic architecture such as wrought-iron balconies, classic brick walls and shutter-framed windows. Decorative details including a life-size trolley car and nods to the film in the form of signs and facades on the walls add to the ambiance of the space.

  • Redesigned Retreats for Teens and Adults

    • Meanwhile, teens and adults will also discover redesigned spaces on the Disney Wonder meant just for them. Vibe, a club reserved for teens ages 14-17, will transform into a contemporary place to hang out with friends while at sea. The space will be given a timeless feel with an open, bright redesign, a light color palette and industrial metal work, while a new coffee bar and updated virtual reality technology add to the list of activities for teens to enjoy during their family vacation.
