American Samoa Kicks Off the 2024 Cruise Ship Season with Disney Wonder

On October 10th, 2024, American Samoa marked the beginning of the 2024 cruise ship season with the arrival of the Disney Wonder. The wharf buzzed with activity as local vendors offered crafts and cuisine to welcome tourists. The day included traditional performances that showcased the culture of the islands.

This season will be busy, with more cruise ships set to dock. Following the Disney Wonder, American Samoa will welcome the Royal Princess on October 16th and the Zaandam on October 18th. Each visit provides an opportunity to experience the beauty of our islands.

Local tour operators were on hand to share activities for visitors, including guided tours and cultural experiences.

The arrival of cruise ships boosts the local economy and reinforces our position as a travel destination. We extend our thanks to the American Samoa Port Administration, the Department of Public Safety, Swire Shipping, and all private sector partners vendors for their efforts in ensuring a successful cruise ship season. We look forward to welcoming more visitors to American Samoa!
