In brief
Disney Wonder is a cruise ship owned and operated by Disney Cruise Line, a subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company. She is the second ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet and the second vessel of the Magic class, following Disney Magic (1998).
The Magic class was ordered on April 27, 1995, and built by Fincantieri at its shipyard in Marghera, Italy. Construction of the vessel began with the keel laying on May 15, 1997, and the ship was launched on February 23, 1998. She was completed on June 17, 1999, and entered service with her maiden voyage on August 15, 1999. She was officially christened on October 1, 1999. The ship reportedly cost approximately US$400 million (equivalent to $773 million in 2025).
Disney Wonder contains 11 public decks, can accommodate 2,700 passengers in 875 staterooms, and has a crew of approximately 950. The ship features an Art Nouveau design, incorporating stylistic references to ocean liners of the early 20th-century, including a long, low profile and a black hull with red accents, which also reflect the colors associated with Mickey Mouse.

Measurements
In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 84,130 gross tons, Disney Wonder is the 5,275th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 14 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 665 cruise ships held here, it ranks 154th by tonnage — larger than 70% of that group. Their median tonnage is 43,009 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 143,289 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is The Bahamas (133 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Fincantieri, with 112 hulls on record.
The Bahamas is the country of registry for 1,614 vessels in this directory, of which Disney Wonder is the 238th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (940 ships), and the median vessel measures 30,020 GT. Browse every ship flagged The Bahamas.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 133 cruise ships flying the The Bahamas flag, of which 47 are larger by tonnage.
Disney Wonder was built in 1999, making it 27 years old. It is one of 1,252 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,594 GT; within it this ship is the 63rd largest. Across the whole of the 1990s the registry holds 12,006 vessels, median 4,956 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 226 vessels to Fincantieri, with a median tonnage of 54,655 GT, delivered between 1935 and 2026. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 294.0 m overall, Disney Wonder is 95.9 m longer than the 198.1 m median for cruise ships on record, with a beam of 32.2 m and a draft of 8.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9126819 this registry holds 63 other vessels, whose median build year is 1996 and which range from 1995 to 2001. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1999.
Its IMO number, 9126819, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 2×5 + 6×4 + 8×3 + 1×2 = 129 — and the last digit of that total, 9, must equal the seventh digit, 9. It does, so this number is well formed.

Events recorded against this vessel in the source, with the dates the source gives. An event with no date is listed last rather than assigned one.
Same yard, same years
No ship class is recorded for this vessel, so these are not asserted to be sister ships — they are contemporaries from the same builder, shown because that is what the data supports.
