Disney Cruise Line Expands Agreement With Port of San Diego
Disney Cruise Line and the Port of San Diego have reached a new agreement that will double the number of Disney cruises departing from the Southern California port each year.
The deal, which runs through 2031, will give Disney non-exclusive priority access to both the North and South berths at the B Street Cruise Ship Terminal. The expanded access is expected to improve the overall guest experience and streamline operations.

“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,” said Jose Fernandez, Vice President of Port Strategy, Development & Operations (via 2 Urban Girls). “This new agreement supports our long-term growth and helps us continue contributing to the region’s economy.”
1 Million Disney Passengers Will Pass Through San Diego
Under the terms of the agreement, more than 1 million Disney Cruise Line passengers are expected to travel through the Port of San Diego over the life of the deal. Notably, this marks the first time the port has received a passenger guarantee.

“We are grateful to continue our long-standing relationship with Disney Cruise Line,” said Ann Moore, Chair of the Board of Port Commissioners. “This agreement not only enhances business operations between the Port, Disney, and our cruise 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.”
Expansion Is Coming
As of now, both the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder sail out of San Diego at select times throughout the year.

By the time the agreement concludes, however, Disney is expected to have expanded its fleet to 13 ships. That should further increase the cruise line’s presence on the West Coast.
