Feature Disney Wonder sailings as part of the Thomas Cook & SOTC Premium Australian Extravaganza group tours, and customised holidays, for Winter 2025–26
Thomas Cook (India) Limited, and SOTC Travel, have expanded their collaboration with Disney Cruise Line to bring magical Disney holidays at sea in Australia and New Zealand, for Winter 2025–26.
Cruise holidays continue to witness strong growth among Indian travellers. The E&Y & Economic Times Great Indian Traveller Report revealed that 52% of respondents included cruising in their bucket list of desired experiences—a trend echoed in the Thomas Cook & SOTC India Holiday Report 2025, which recorded 45% showing strong interest in exploring new formats like cruises.
Building on this demand, Thomas Cook and SOTC have launched innovative itineraries featuring the Disney Wonder sailings, offering world-class experiences as part of their 16-day Australian Extravaganza group tours and bespoke holiday packages. Departures from India are scheduled for November 2025 and January 2026.
The Disney Wonder blends Disney’s signature storytelling and entertainment with exceptional dining and family-friendly amenities, including Broadway-style shows, themed restaurants, fireworks at sea, and dedicated spaces for every age group—creating unforgettable experiences for families, couples, and groups alike.
The collaboration will be supported by a joint marketing campaign across key media platforms, highlighting this premium sailing experience at special launch pricing. Leveraging their strategic “phygital” model, Thomas Cook India and SOTC combine the convenience of digital platforms with the reach of their pan-India retail network to deliver seamless service to customers nationwide.
Rajeev Kale, President & Country Head – Holidays, MICE, Visa, Thomas Cook (India) Limited, said, “Our pioneering legacy drives us to design innovative and exciting travel experiences. We are delighted to introduce Disney Cruise Line experiences within our group and customised tours this winter.
