Beginning May 3, 2011, Disney Cruise Lines will be offering cruises to Alaska for the first time.

Departing from its home port in Vancouver. B.C., it will make its way through Tracy Arm in Southeast Alaska and back while visiting the ports in Skagway, Ketchikan and Juneau. The vessel, Disney Wonder will offer activities while it makes its way to Alaska for 18 seven-night cruises to Alaska with its last cruise scheduled in August 30, 2011.

The vessel will be offering rates whose ranges will play in the nine hundreds of American dollar excluding activities for the excursions and other on shore activities that is offered by the cruise line or the locals at the ports that the vessel will be visiting.

This is a good news for the state as the tourism industry for it is not looking that good as some cruise lines are not visiting them anymore. Because of this redirection of other cruise lines, an the state expects more than 150, 000 passenger loss for 2010.

Before the 2011 season for the cruise industry, the vessel Disney Wonder will be outfitted with a 2500 square foot cafe with floor to ceiling curved glass windows. This is where the passengers can watch the scenery and that the outbacks of Alaska offers. The vessel will also be offering cruises from the port of Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta for a seven-night cruise that will be given for the rate of 640$ per person for a standard inside stateroom based on double occupancy before the cruising season begins for the Alaskan Summer.
