Over the past year, it has been nothing short of magical to see the excitement build as each new detail about the Disney Wish is revealed. Our cast and crew, as well as our partners at the Meyer Werft shipyard, have poured their hearts into bringing this magnificent new ship to life.

While we are all eagerly awaiting the ship’s debut, today we must share that our anticipation will unfortunately have to extend a bit longer than initially planned. The shipyard has notified us that despite their very best efforts, they will need more time to finish our ship due in part to the pandemic and particularly the arrival of the Omicron variant in Germany at a critical point in the process.

As a result, we are left with no other choice than to delay our maiden voyage until July 14, 2022, which will regrettably affect your sailing. We apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience we know this will cause. And we assure you we will do all we can to help you adjust your family’s vacation plans.

Since you were originally booked on one of the affected sailings, we would like to extend a 50 percent discount on a future cruise departing by December 31, 2023. To provide this, any funds currently applied to your reservation must be held as a future cruise credit. This credit will be automatically applied to your account in the coming days and can be used as a payment option when your travel advisor books your new reservation. Alternatively, you can request a full refund.* Please contact your travel advisor to assist with any changes. Disney Wish itineraries will be available for booking beginning February 8.

In the meantime, we encourage you to review a special message from Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Cruise Line.

We have never been more optimistic about the future and cannot wait to welcome guests aboard the Disney Wish. The enchanting new ship will be a celebration of Disney’s rich legacy of storytelling, bringing to life the fantastical worlds and beloved characters at the heart of Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars adventures like never before.

Thank you for choosing Disney Cruise Line – and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to complete construction of the Disney Wish and ultimately deliver a uniquely magical cruise experience for you and your family.

Sincerely,

The Cast and Crew
Disney Cruise Line

*The 50 percent discount is non-transferable, non-refundable, has no cash value, and is applied per person to be used on a sailing departing on or before December 31, 2023. Guests are responsible for any balance due after the discount has been applied.

**The Future Cruise Credit (FCC) is equal to 100% of the guest funds applied to your reservation at the time of cancellation. The FCC is only valid for sailings departing on or before December 31, 2023. Standard prevailing rates apply and Guests are responsible for any balance due after the FCC has been applied. If you end up not being able to use your FCC, you will be eligible for a refund. Prior to the start of your earliest sailing where your Future Cruise Credit has been applied, any unused Future Cruise Credit will be automatically converted to an Onboard Credit. Standard cancellation policies and terms and conditions apply to both future cruise credits and discounts on all future sailings. Alternatively, if you request a refund prior to your next sailing, you forfeit your 50% Future Cruise Discount.
