Disney’s magnificent ship returns to Dover

17 June 2016

Britain’s second most popular cruise destination welcomed back the luxury Disney Magic cruise ship early this morning. The world renowned White Cliffs of Dover provided a stunning vista for her passengers as she swept into view at sunrise.

The magnificent ship pays homage to the grand era of the luxury ocean liner with its art deco style interior. Boasting 11 decks and accommodating 2,700 passengers in her 875 staterooms, the ship has twenty bright yellow lifeboats which, along with the black, red, and white colours of the ship itself, match the colours of Mickey Mouse.

On arrival at Dover Cruise Port, passengers were able to take advantage of state-of-the-art terminals and award winning facilities and customer services for a smooth and swift disembark. Being perfectly positioned for turnaround or port of call visits for the British Isles, Northern Europe, the Baltic, Eastern Mediterranean and USA, passengers can enjoy a variety of itineraries and excellent pre and post cruise accommodation. On leaving the Port, there are the fantastic and historic attractions that Dover has to offer as well as the many beautiful and diverse attractions in the wider county of Kent, The Garden of England.

Sonia Limbrick, Head of Business Development (Cruise), Port of Dover, said:

“I would like to thank Disney Magic for visiting us again at Dover Cruise Port. Dover is one of the most progressive cruise Ports in the country and is already a Port of choice for over 20 individual cruise lines and around 200,000 discerning cruise passengers. With the significant investment received and ongoing progression of the Dover Western Docks Revival project we anticipate great things for our future and look forward to continuing to welcome Disney Cruise Line ships to our Port.”
