Disney Wonder is First Cruise Ship to Cross the Panama Canal Using New Locks

This weekend, the Disney Wonder became the first cruise ship to pass through the Panama Canal using a new set of locks. The new path has doubled the capacity and allowed for larger ships to travel the canal.

The Wonder is on a 14-night voyage from the Port Canaveral, Florida to San Diego, California, for a few Baja Mexico sailings before heading to to Vancouver, British Columbia and a summer full of Alaska sailings.
