Today, Disney Cruise Line notified travel agents with clients as well as guests directly booked on the Disney Magic’s April 19, 2026 4-Night Pacific Coast Cruise that the cruise has been cancelled due to an unexpected change in the ship’s dry dock schedule.
Guests booked on this sailing will be refunded back any money paid to date to the original forms of payment and will receive a 20% discount on voyage fare for a future cruise or applied to an existing booking. This discount is valid on all stateroom categories including those with restrictions and concierge level. This exclusive discount can be redeemed starting today, but will expire on June 26, 2027.
Originally, the Disney Magic was schedule to sail a 4-night repositioning cruise from San Diego on April 19th following the arrival in San Diego on April 19th at the end of a 14-night Panama Canal voyage from Galveston. A rescheduled Pacific Coast Cruise from San Diego to Vancouver will now depart on April 26th and will be available to book beginning on Wednesday July 9, 2025.
Since the Summer 2026 sail dates were announced, there has been an itinerary gap following the repositioning to Vancouver until mid-May for a scheduled dry dock. Today’s changes are simply refining the dry dock period.
I wonder where the ship will be in dry dock?? Regardless, this proves that DCL intends to keep the oldest ship in service for more years ahead. I do hope the WONDER get to stay in service for a long time to come as well.
The drydock for the Magic is the bi-annual “out of water” inspection and refreshing that is done all the time. Yes it will keep the ship sailing for the forseeable future but don’t expect it or the Wonder to stay in service much beyond 2028-2030 once the 3 new (class unknown) ships are put into revenue service to replace the current Classics. At least that’s my opinion.
