You knew it was only a matter of time until there was a Disney Cruise Lines ship here.

The Disney Magic and Disney Wonder are the two ships of the Disney Cruise Lines fleet. Disney actually started doing cruises on an older ship from the Premier Cruises fleet. It was a huge success and Disney commissioned 2 new ships. That’s a pretty incredible investment!

The two ships are very similar, but I will focus on the Magic here.

The Disney Magic’s maiden voyage was in July 1998, from Port Canaveral Florida. It was built in Italy, and the bow and stern were built 100 miles from each other. The two sections were (obviously) welded together later.

It’s 83,000 gross tonnes and 964 feet in length. It has a capacity of 2,400 passengers and 945 crew.

While the Disney Cruises appeal to all ages, obviously it is a bit more geared to the younger set. If you are someone that doesn’t like kids, the Magic is not for you. Another thing to note is that there is no casino on-board. Most people don’t miss it because there is so much to do, but its something to be aware of for sure.

In 2008 and 2009 the Disney Magic sails out of Port Canaveral and does Western and Eastern Caribbean itineraries. If you want to do the Caribbean on the Magic though you’d better act fast. In 2010 it is heading back to Europe and doing the Mediterranean and Northern Europe. So if you want to go to Rome, Florence, Nice, Malta, Tunis, Oslo, Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, or others the Disney way, now’s your chance.

Here are some pics and a cool video at the end.

Here is a cool video. In 2007 the Disney Magic was based out of Barcelona doing the Mediterranean. Let’s just say it arrived in style!
