Disney Cruise Line Cancels Select 2021 Sailings Longer Than 7-nights Due to CDC Restrictions
Disney Cruise Line continues to work through the conditional sail order framework issued by the CDC. Today, Disney addressed the flying elephant in the room, cancelling and modifying select sailings over 7-nights with a US embarkation/debarkation port.
The CDC’s conditional sail order included a clause preventing cruise lines from offering or sailing an itinerary longer than 7-nights through October 2021.
Previously, Disney pulled their longer sailings from further booking, and now, they are cancelling the the following cruises.
- Disney Magic | Sunday May 9, 2021 – 13-Night Eastbound Transatlantic Cruise from Miami to Barcelona
- Disney Wonder | Monday June 28, 2021 – 9-Night Alaskan Cruise from Vancouver
- Disney Fantasy | Thursday July 22, 2021 – 9-Night Southern Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral
Each sailing is unique. The Alaskan will be replaced by a 7-night Alaskan Cruise, and the Southern Caribbean will be split into a 6- and 3-night cruise. The Transatlantic does not have a replacement, and at this time it seems to look more and more like the Disney Magic may just stay in Europe until we get closer to the resumption of cruise operations.
Disney Fantasy | Thursday July 22, 2021 – 9-Night Southern Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral
For guests booked on the Disney Fantasy’s Thursday July 22, 2021 – 9-Night Southern Caribbean Cruise from Port Canaveral, Disney is offering a 10% discount on the following two cruises that are replacing their cancelled sailing:
