Disney Cruise Line has announced that the maiden voyage of Disney Wish will be delayed by six weeks due to setbacks at the Meyer Werft shipyard.
The setback is due in part to the pandemic and particularly the arrival of the Omicron variant in Germany at a critical point in the production process, said the cruise line in its official blog.
“As a result, Disney Cruise Line is regrettably left with no other choice than to delay the ship’s maiden voyage until July 14, 2022, and is reaching out to affected guests to help them adjust their vacation plans. Among the options all impacted guests will have to choose from is a 50 percent discount on a future cruise departing by December 31, 2023.”
Guests booked on the June 9th Maiden Voyage and the June 14th DVC cruise are being moved to the new sail dates of July 14th and July 19th respectively.
Thomas Mazloum, President of Disney Cruise Line said, “We know how much our guests are looking forward to sailing on the Disney Wish, and we understand the disappointment and inconvenience this will cause. We treasure the relationship we have with those who sail and make memories with us, and we will work closely with those affected to welcome them aboard in the future,”
“Despite this unavoidable adjustment to our plans, our team at Disney Cruise Line has never been more optimistic about the future and cannot wait to welcome families aboard the magnificent Disney Wish.”
