UPDATE: See new information on Bahamas below.


Disney Cruise Line has cancelled sailings through at least October 31st, but even then it’s unclear what countries and ports will actually allow ships to dock when Disney returns to the high seas.

We’ve researched the destinations that DCL has scheduled for November and December, just to see what information we could find. Keep in mind that things change quickly, so we will try to keep this list as up-to-date and accurate as possible.
