Disney Cruise Line Shares a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Disney Wonder’s in Dry Dock
Last month, we brought you the news that the Disney Wonder had entered dry dock at the Esquimalt Graving Dock in Victoria for a two-week refurbishment.
While there, the ship underwent general maintenance, technical upkeep, and class inspections.

As the name would suggest, ships in dry dock are not on the water.
Instead, the vessel is docked on land, giving teams the chance to refresh spaces and enhance experiences.

When the Disney Wonder came to dry dock, teams installed twelve miles of new carpet, refurbished interior spaces, and cleaned up the ship’s exterior figures.

To keep the process as efficient as possible, teams worked around the clock! In total, nearly 1,000 Cast Members contributed to the project.

While some renovations took place in guest areas, much of the work focused on the ship’s structure.

For example, crew members installed new hull coating to reduce the fuel the vessel needs.
