For the Panama Canal sailing, please note that all Guests, regardless of age, must be fully vaccinated. Guests 11 years of age and younger will be unable to sail. All Guests must undergo a Disney Cruise Line-paid PCR COVID-19 test administered by Inspire Diagnostics at the terminal before boarding.

For California cruises, all 4-night sailings call on Cabo San Lucas with two sea days. All 3-night sailings call on Ensenada with one sea day. For the 14-night Panama Canal sailing, there will be an additional day at sea instead of a stop at Grand Cayman.
