Although Disney Cruise Line has delayed sailings on all of its ships — the Disney Dream, the Disney Fantasy, the Disney Magic, and the Disney Wonder — into December 2020, the Wonder is currently making moves on the high seas.

According to Cruise Industry News, the Wonder‘s current journey will take it to a dry-dock location in France:
Taking advantage of the downtime in operations, Disney Cruise Line is performing routine regulatory class work and upgrades on its fleet, according to sources familiar with the work.
The Disney Wonder, built in 1999, is on her way to a drydock in Brest, France and was in Ponta Delgada in the Azores for a technical stop last week where she took on fuel having sailed from Port Canaveral.
The official Disney Cruise Line website confirms that the Disney Wonder currently has five sailings available from January to March 2021. All of these are Baja Mexico cruises that set sail from the Port of San Diego.
