Today, Disney Cruise Line announced the further extension of their cruise suspension, cancelling all Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy sailings through July 2021. Disney Wonder sailings have been cancelled through July 12, 2021 which seems to offer some hope the recent Senate passing of Alaska Tourism Restoration Act may offer Disney a potential Alaskan sailings via Seattle if the bill can quickly move through the House and the CDC give the Disney Wonder the green light to resume operations – it is premature to speculate, but to only cancel Alaskan cruises until mid-July makes one look for a logical reason and at this point it is all I can come up with. The Disney Magic sailings UK Staycations are NOT part of today’s cancellations as these are specific to the Bahamian, Caribbean, and Alaskan sailings. Disney Cruise Line removed these July sailings from further booking on May 14th ahead of today’s official cancellation.

By The Numbers | Coronavirus Cancelled Cruises
Today, with this phase of cancellations of 18 cruises spanning 80 nights. To date, Disney has been forced to cancel 398 sailings spanning a total 2083 nights across the fleet. The Disney Dream will lose 133 sailings losing 477-nights, Disney Fantasy 86 sailings losing 520-nights, Disney Magic, excluding the addition of the UK Staycations, 94 sailings losing 565-nights, and the Disney Wonder 85 sailings losing 521-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.

US Departures Through July 2021 Are Suspended
We continue to work closely with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to carefully review and implement their recently released guidance and refine our protocols for a responsible and gradual return to service in U.S. waters. Given the ongoing nature of these discussions and the time needed to staff and prepare our ships, we are cancelling all Disney Wonder sailings through July 12, 2021, as well as Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy sailings through July 31, 2021.
Disney Magic Sailings
The Disney Magic will set sail in the United Kingdom for a limited time this summer on short voyages limited to UK residents, pending the issuance of UK Government guidelines and authorizations. Learn More
Canada Departures
In light of the Canadian government’s announcement that they will not allow ships with more than 100 passengers to dock in any Canadian port until February 28, 2022, we continue to evaluate various options for the Disney Wonder’s remaining season in Alaska. Once a decision is made, we will reach out to Guests booked on these sailings.
Additionally, as previously shared, based on the conditional sail order provided by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Disney Cruise Line has canceled sailings longer than 7 nights.
Guests booked on affected sailings, who have paid their reservation in full, will be offered the choice of a cruise credit to be used for a future sailing or a full refund. Guests, who have not paid their reservations in full, will automatically receive a refund of what they have paid so far. Affected Guests and travel agents will receive an email from Disney Cruise Line outlining details and next steps.
Guests who’ve booked their reservation through a travel agent should contact them directly with any questions. Those who have booked directly with Disney Cruise Line, and have questions after receiving their email, should call (866) 325-6685 or (407) 566-7797.

Notice to Passengers Regarding Travel Recommendation from U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on COVID-19 and Cruise Ship Travel
The CDC has issued a Level 4 Travel Notice recommending that all people avoid travel on cruise ships. The complete notice is available at https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/covid-4/coronavirus-cruise-ship and is subject to change by the CDC without notice. If a threshold of COVID-19 is detected on board the cruise ship during a voyage, the voyage will be ended immediately and the ship will return to the U.S. port of embarkation, and your subsequent travel, including your return home, may be restricted or delayed.
COVID-19 Warning
While we are still evaluating the timing, when we return to sailing we will inform you of enhanced health and safety measures—for you, our other Guests, Cast and Crew Members. You will be required to follow all posted instructions while sailing with Disney Cruise Line.
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, senior citizens and Guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable.
By sailing with Disney Cruise Line you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
Help keep each other healthy.
Do you all think they will move back the must sail by Sept 2022? We booked March 2020, Aug 2020 and now Oct 2021. I am nervous as more get cancelled there will be a lot of people trying to book before the expiration date.
