Disney Cruise Line Cancels February 2021 Cruises

Today, Disney Cruise Line announced the extension of their cruise suspension for sailings through February 2021 in line with other CLIA member cruise lines as the industry continues to work through the conditional sail order framework issued by the CDC. Select sailings over 7-nights with a US embarkation/debarkation port through October 2021 which were pulled from further booking last month are still safe, for now. While the CDC didn’t get to extend the No Sail Order into February 2021, they basically found an alternative way to stall the gradual resumption with a laundry list of hurdles the cruise ships much conquer before welcoming guests back onboard.

Sailings are cancelled onboard the Disney Magic through February 25; the Disney Wonder and Disney Dream through February 26; and the Disney Fantasy through February 27.

Our team at Disney Cruise Line remains focused on the health and well-being of our Guests and team members. We are carefully reviewing the guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and working toward resuming operations. As we continue to refine our protocols for our eventual return to service, we have decided to cancel all sailings departing through February 2021.

In light of this cancellation, we are offering affected Guests who have paid their reservation in full the choice of a 125% future cruise credit to be used for a future sailing prior to May 31, 2022, or a full refund. The credit has automatically been added to your clients’ account, and can be applied as a payment option when booking a new reservation online at DisneyTravelAgents.com. Guests that have not paid their reservations in full will automatically receive a refund of what they have paid so far.

Disney Cruise Line email to Travel Agents regarding February 2021 Cruises

Since we did not have a February cruise booked, we did not get the guest email. However, Tammy from Storybook Destinations was kind enough to share the following email from Disney Cruise Line.

By The Numbers | Coronavirus Cancelled Cruises

Today, with this phase of cancellations of 23 cruises spanning 123 nights, Disney Cruise Line ecliped the 1 year mark for lost nights on the Disney Wonder and close to doing the same with the Fantasy. To date, Disney has been forced to cancel 267 sailings losing total 1401 nights across the fleet. The Disney Dream will lose 89 sailings losing 323-nights, Disney Fantasy 60 sailings losing 357-nights, Disney Magic 59 sailings losing 338-nights, and the Disney Wonder 59 sailings losing 283-nights due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Please note, the Disney Magic and Disney Dream stats have been adjusted to show just lost revenue of passenger sailings. The actual number of nights is higher due to previously scheduled dry dock periods and a repositioning cruise where there were no passenger sailings.

I set up sailings for each ship for those interested in keeping track of the fleet during the temporary shutdown. The sailings will be updated daily with “at sea” set as the default for each day until we learn otherwise.

This latest announcement comes about two weeks after Disney Cruise Line cancelled all remaining December 2020 sailings on November 3rd.
