Disney Cruise Line rounded off its 2026 Alaska season by organizing three events that support local groups in Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan.

Crew members from the Disney Wonder participated in events discussing career opportunities and honoring military families during events taking place Sept. 24 to 26.

Alongside the Wonder, Alaskan itineraries from Vancouver were operated by the Magic, marking the first time two ships were deployed to Alaska for the cruise line.

“Alaska is an important and growing part of the Disney Cruise Line story,” said Beth Thibadoux, director of external affairs for Disney Cruise Line.

“The communities we visit are one of the many reasons a Disney Cruise Line experience is so special, and we remain committed to deepening the relationships and supporting local priorities of the communities that welcome us every season.”

In Juneau, the cruise line joined Armed Services YMCA of Alaska on Sept. 25 to recognize Coast Guard members and families serving Alaska and the U.S. Arctic.

Attendees got a chance to participate in themed activities and spend time with Captain Mickey Mouse.

The cruise line also announced its investment in the U.S. Coast Guard Foundation in support of its Coastie Campers summer enrichment program, helping expand opportunities for Coast Guard families in Alaska.

To commemorate the occasion, Coast Guard Capt. Michele Schallip was presented with an American flag that flew onboard the Disney Wonder as it sailed Alaskan waters.

Additionally, two events exploring maritime careers were held in Skagway and Ketchikan.

In Skagway, Disney Wonder crew members joined local students from Junior Achievement of Alaska on Sept. 24, who learned more about career opportunities on a cruise ship.

Two days later in Ketchikan, more local students with Junior Achievement Alaska and the Magsayawan Filipino Dance Group boarded the Disney Wonder for a discussion on maritime careers and a ship tour.

The events capped the cruise line’s initiatives across Southeast Alaska in 2026, which included:

• support to the Southeast Alaska Food Bank, including work to provide weekend meals through Harborview Elementary School
• donations of boot and glove warmers for Harborview classrooms
• contribution of Disney books and participation in intergenerational programming at the Ketchikan Pioneer Home
• welcoming Skagway Summer Camp participants aboard the Disney Wonder for the fourth year.

Earlier this year, Disney Cruise Line announced a 15-year agreement with Huna Totem Corporation, securing preferential access at Icy Strait Point through at least 2041.
