Disney Cruise Line Cancels All Sailings Through May 2021

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

We previously reported that all Disney Cruise Line sailings have been suspended through April, with select Disney Magic and Disney Wonder sailings suspended through May 2021. This morning, Disney Cruise Line released an updated travel alert stating that all Disney Cruise Line sailings will be further suspended through May 2021, and Disney Magic sailings are now suspended through August 10, 2021.

The Canadian government announced recently that they will not allow ships with more than 100 passengers to dock in any Canadian port until February 28, 2022. This heavily affects the Disney Wonder’s Alaskan season which often ports out of Vancouver, British Columbia.

According to the conditional sail order provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Disney Cruise Line must cancel sailings longer than 7 nights, which also heavily impacts both the Alaskan and European season for the Disney Wonder and the Disney Magic.

Below is the updated list of impacted sailings:

  • Disney Magic: Feb. 20-25. Feb. 25-March , March 1-6, March 6-11, March 11-15, March 15-20, March 20-25, March 25-29, March 29-April 3, April 3-8, April 8-12, April 12-17, April 17-22, April 22-26, April 26-May 1, May 1-6, May 6-9, May 9-22, May 22-29, May 29-June 4, June 4-11, June 11-19, June 19-27, June 27-July 6, July 6-17, July 17-23, July 23-30, July 30-Aug. 10, Aug. 10-18

We recently shared the news that the Disney Cruise Line extended the suspension of all departures through April and select cruises in May. While we’re hopeful we’ll get back to cruising soon enough, we’re also learning of a new update from Disney Cruise Line regarding the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions latest update. Check out Disney Cruise Line’s response below.

Disney Cruise Line Releases Never-Before-Seen Video of Next Ship: Disney Wish

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

Disney Cruise Line’s next ship, the Disney Wish, has been highly anticipated with it’s sail debut in Summer 2022. Now, Disney has released a never-before-seen video of the stunning ship! Check out the video and details as shared below by DisneyParksBlog.

Earlier today, the “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Celebration” unpacked a sleigh-full of Disney magic, including a brand-new video of the Disney Wish, which sets sail in summer 2022. 

This never-before-seen digital clip showcases new details of the dazzling Grand Hall and a first look at the stunning character statue at the base of the grand staircase, an iconic Disney princess whose faith in her dreams has inspired generations to believe in the power of their own. Who is she? You don’t have to wait until the clock strikes midnight to find out…

Inspired by the beauty of a fairytale castle, the Grand Hall makes a bold welcoming statement, setting the tone for an enchanted family vacation from the moment guests step onboard the Disney Wish. It is an idyllic setting for Cinderella, whose timeless story is the perfect example of magic transforming wishes into dreams and dreams into reality – very fitting for a vessel named the Disney Wish, don’t you think?

The Disney Wish is the first of three new ships joining the Disney Cruise Line fleet through 2025. All three ships will be powered by liquefied natural gas and, at approximately 144,000 gross tons and 1,250 guest staterooms, will be slightly larger than the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy. 

Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for more updates about the Disney Wish, and check out disneycruise.disney.go.com/why-cruise-disney/wish/ for more ways to stay in-the-know.
