Earlier this year the CDC instated a “No Sail Order” that expired on Oct 30th, 2020, and since, has issued a conditional sailing order for cruise ships that details the guidelines for cruise ships. These new guidelines will be active until Nov 1st, 2021, but Disney has announced the cancellation of all Disney Cruise departures through December 31st, 2020. We have copied the official statement below:
As we continue to refine our protocols for our eventual return to service, we have decided to cancel all sailings through December 2020. Sailings are cancelled on board the Disney Fantasy through December 26; Disney Wonder and Disney Magic through December 30; and the Disney Dream through December 31.
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 professionals will receive an email from Disney Cruise Line outlining details and next steps.
Guests who booked their reservation through a third party should contact them directly with any questions.
Below is a list of impacted sailings:
