Disney Cruise Line cancels sailings through May

Upgrading Disney Cruise Terminal

Disney Cruise Line has just canceled all sailing through May 17th, 2020 and Vancouver sailings till the end of June.

This is after the CDC issued a No Sail order for the next 100 days.

Here is the statement issued on the Disney Cruise Line website:


Disney Cruise Line is aware that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has extended its suspension of cruise departures from the United States. In line with this direction, and with the well-being of our Guests and team members our top priority, Disney Cruise Line has suspended all new departures of the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy and Disney Magic through Sunday, May 17, 2020. Additionally, as previously shared, all departures on the Disney Wonder have been suspended through June given that neither the Port of Vancouver nor an alternate homeport is available.

Guests currently booked on affected sailings will be offered the choice of a cruise credit to be used for a future sailing within 15 months of their original sail date or a full refund. These Guests and travel agents will receive an email from us outlining details and next steps.

Guests who booked their reservation through a travel agent should contact them directly with any questions. Those who booked directly with Disney Cruise Line and have questions after receiving their email from us should call us at (866) 325-6685 or (407) 566-7797.
