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.
