The year 2020 was disastrous for the cruise line industry. Disney Cruise Line was no exception.
Since the COVID-19 shut down in March of 2020, Disney Cruise Line has not set sail. As a glimmer of hope, Disney has released a number of destinations and itineraries for 2022.
DCL Announcement
Disney Cruise Line had the following announcement on their website:
“Today we revealed our exciting line-up of itineraries and destinations for summer 2022! Highlights include new ports in Greece, Portugal, Latvia, Norway, Sweden and Dominica, plus first-ever summer sailings from Miami to the Bahamas.
“While we prepare for a return to sea just as soon as the time is right, we continue to look to the future and develop more cruising options for families,” said Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Cruise Line. “Offering this diverse new line-up of itineraries for the summer of 2022 shows our commitment to taking more guests to more destinations around the world as we plan for additional ships in the years ahead.”
Bookings open to the public March 25, 2021. More details can be found on the Summer 2022 Itineraries page of disneycruise.com.”
Explorations in the Greek Isles, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and Beyond
In summer 2022, the Disney Magic’s grand tour of Europe begins with sailings through the Greek Isles and Mediterranean before heading to northern Europe for cruises to the Baltic, the British Isles, Iceland, and the Norwegian fjords. Five new ports of call in Europe include Chania, Greece; Porto, Portugal; Riga, Latvia; Maloy, Norway; and Nynashamn, Sweden, near Stockholm.
Adventures in Alaska
The Disney Wonder will return to Alaska for the 2022 summer season to explore the region’s breathtaking natural vistas, glaciers, and wildlife. Departing from Vancouver, Canada, most of these seven-night cruises will visit Dawes Glacier, Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. Two of the cruises will call on Icy Strait Point in place of Skagway.
First-Ever Summer Cruises from Miami
For the first time ever, you can sail out of Miami during the summer season, enjoying even more opportunities to visit Castaway Cay. Every cruise from Miami in the summer of 2022 features a stop at our private island paradise.
Tropical Vacations from Port Canaveral
Tropical vacations to the Caribbean and Bahamas continue aboard the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral near the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The ship will embark on an assortment of itineraries, including seven-night voyages, a special five-night sailing and an extended nine-night cruise. Each Disney Fantasy voyage features a visit to Castaway Cay.
Disney Cruise Line also gave an update on one of their ships, the Wish:
“As previously announced, the Disney Wish is scheduled to sail its maiden voyage in summer 2022. Information on itineraries and bookings for this ship will be released at a later date.”
