Disney Cruise Line has been awaiting word on when they can return to sailing, and we are now closer than ever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has given clearance to DCL to hold a simulation sailing from Port Canaveral later this month.
On June 29, 2021, the Disney Dream will set sail on a two-night sailing from Port Canaveral with volunteers on board. Disney Cruise Line will use this sailing to test out its new health and safety protocols with DCL Cast Members as its passengers.
Disney Cruise Line has already canceled all sailings through July 2021, but this simulation sailing could lead the way for guests to get back on board before too long.
Thomas Mazloum, President of Disney Signature Experiences, made an official announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
“I have some great news to share, team.
We received word that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has approved our application to conduct a simulation cruise in advance of resuming normal operations.
This is a critically important milestone for Disney Cruise Line – and I want to thank everyone who has been supporting our return-to-service plans with such dedication and hard work.
We now have the green light to conduct our two-night simulation cruise aboard the Disney Dream from June 29 to July 1, sailing from Port Canaveral. The ship will sail with volunteer passengers and test our newly developed health and safety protocols, which have been meticulously tailored to the current public health environment. All of these protocols are essential to cruising responsibly, and Disney Cruise Line couldn’t be more committed to making vacation dreams come true as it prioritizes the wellbeing of all who step aboard our ships.
Today, as we move closer to restarting our U.S. cruises, I want to spotlight the tremendous resilience and positivity of the team. Your collaboration and continued enthusiasm throughout the pandemic have been nothing short of amazing, as we’ve researched, drafted, revised and refined our comprehensive roadmap for cruising again. It has been no small feat – and I’m extremely proud of everyone.
We will continue to evaluate our health and safety protocols, working closely with the CDC, and make adjustments as we work toward a full resumption of cruising. In the meantime, we can all take pride in the approval of our application with the CDC – a milestone that reflects the incredible talents of our entire team.”
