Read our privacy policy Disney Cruise Line is the latest operator to announce it will be offering “staycation” sailings in the UK this summer. Sailings will be onboard the Disney Magic liner, which has pools, waterslides and seven separate dining options to choose from, including Rapunzel’s Royal Table, a “dining adventure” inspired by the film Tangled. Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Cruise Line, said: “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.” The cruise line is implementing a number of measures to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections spreading onboard, including Covid testing, face coverings, reduced capacity, social distancing and enhanced cleaning.
