Disney Cruise Line announced today that its Disney Wonder cruise ship will embark on two special 10- and 11-night cruises to the Southern Caribbean in September 2006. This marks the first time Disney has offered cruises longer than three- or four-nights aboard the Disney Wonder.

The Southern Caribbean itinerary includes exotic ports such as St. Thomas, St. Lucia, Barbados, Antigua and St. Kitts. Barbados and St. Kitts are new ports of call for Disney Cruise Line. The 10-night cruise will depart on Sept. 7, and the 11-night cruise departs on Sept. 17, 2006.

"We have found that once our guests experience a Disney cruise, they are eager to return again for a new adventure to different ports of call," said Disney Cruise Line President Tom McAlpin. "These special, longer cruises were designed with our repeat guests in mind."

The itineraries for the Disney Cruise Line 2006 Southern Caribbean Cruises are as follows:

10 Night Cruise (Departing Sept. 7, 2006)

Voyages to the Southern Caribbean add to an already diverse 2006 schedule of sailings. Starting May 27 and departing every fourth week through Dec. 9, 2006, Disney Cruise Line will offer alternate Western Caribbean cruises aboard the Disney Magic® that includes two stops at Disney's private island, Castaway Cay, coupled with a new port of call, Costa Maya, and Cozumel.

I imagine these will sell out quickly?

That is a good question. It is still September, the slowest month in the cruise industry. If you are thinking of going, hurry and do it today, prices will go up quickly. Any deposit you make is refundable, so it might be worth your time.

We would love to go on a crusie but the only time we seem to get time from work to go it's either to cold (winter) or in the middle of the hurrianc (sp) season!
