Disney cruises canceled through July.
Disney Cruise Line won’t sail again until at least July 31 after announcing another round of cruise cancellations amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement on its website, the cruise line said it was suspending departures through Monday, July 27. That means the earliest any of its four ships would sail would be Disney Dream from Port Canaveral on July 31 and Disney Fantasy also from the port on August 1.
Disney Magic, which would be sailing in Europe, would not have its first sailing until August 5 and Disney Wonder, which would be sailing Alaska would not sail until August 3.
The line is offering either a full refund or the option to rebook the sailing with a cruise credit incentive for any sailing within 15 months of the canceled departure.
All four ships ceased sailing in mid-March and are currently subject to a “no sail order” from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that prohibit sailing from U.S. ports into late July, although that order could be lifted early.
The cruise line already canceled voyages through June 18 for Disney Dream and Fantasy and into early July for Disney Wonder and Magic.
The line said affected guests and travel agents should get an email detailing the next steps, and to call either (866) 325-6685 or (407) 566-7797 with questions after receiving the email.
Last week during the company’s second-quarter earnings call, Walt Disney
CEO Bob Chapek said cruising would most likely be the last of its businesses it brings back online.
Dream and Fantasy remain near Port Canaveral with no destination while Disney Wonder is near San Diego and Disney Magic left Florida over the weekend on its way to Europe.
A fifth ship, Disney Wish, is the first of three new vessels on order, originally expected to be delivered at the end of 2021 and to begin sailing from Port Canaveral in January 2022. But the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission last week that there may be some delays in construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unnamed second and third ships were due for delivery in 2022 and 2023.
