Taking the Magic to Europe

(DCL Release) – On the morning of March 21 at the Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Cruise Line Presi-dent Tom McAlpin announced the newest itinerary for the Disney Magic – 10-night and 11-night Mediter-ranean cruises. First launched in July 1998, the Disney Magic sails mostly throughout the Caribbean from its home port in Port Canaveral, Fla., and also traveled west for several Mexican Riviera cruises in sum-mer 2005. Based on Disney Cruise Line Guest suggestions, Tom said Europe was an obvious choice for a new itinerary. “Our Guests have told us they would love to take a European vacation, but all of the planning and logistics can be daunting,” he said. “These special sailings will offer a hassle-free way to experience the beauty and culture of Europe combined with the fun of a Disney cruise.” The Mediterra-nean voyages will begin in May 2007, based out of the Port of Barcelona in Spain, and will include eight ports of call providing gateways to such famous cities as Florence, Rome, Pisa and Cannes. Additionally, two 14-night trans-Atlantic sailings will be available as the ship repositions itself to Spain in May and back to Florida in August. Bookings for the new itineraries are scheduled to open April 4, 2006.
