Disney Cruise Line has revealed a series of ‘staycation’ sailings from UK ports this summer.

Disney Magic will sail two and three-night voyages, as well as limited four-night sailings, roundtrip from London Tilbury, Newcastle, Liverpool and Southampton. The ship will not call at ports once it has departed.

The line said that itineraries are expected to go on sale in April. It has not confirmed details of a vaccine policy or departure dates.

Disney said in a statement: “Disney Cruise Line is implementing multiple layers of health and safety measures considering guidance from the UK government, health authorities and medical experts.

“This includes Covid-19 testing, health screenings, face coverings, reduced guest capacity, physical distancing and enhanced cleaning.

“Children and adults alike will delight in spaces created just for them, including family pools and waterslides, whimsical kids clubs, and adult-only retreats such as a secluded pool and spa, a lively entertainment district and a fine-dining restaurant.”

Disney Cruise Line president Thomas Mazloum added: “Our teams are bringing tremendous ingenuity and fun to these new cruises, tailoring them with care to the times we are living in, yet filling them with everything you’d expect from Disney, from great service and entertainment to immersive dining experiences and magic for the whole family.”
