At this time, Disney Cruis Line has not commented on the fact that the Bahamas has been added to the CDC’s Level 4 travel warning list. The cruise operator is not currently requiring passengers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to board the Disney Dream, the Disney Fantasy, and the Disney Wonder when they sail out of U.S. ports.

The Disney Magic, however, is currently requiring Guests to be vaccinated for its Magic at Sea staycation cruises that are only available to U.K. residents.

Inside the Magic will continue to provide updates regarding the status of Disney Cruise itineraries as this situation develops. Currently, the Disney Cruise Line fleet makes port at two Bahamian locations — Nassau and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

Intriguingly, the Bahamas recently banned all cruise liners with unvaccinated passengers onboard from making port due to the Delta variant surge in the country. Again, Disney has not commented publicly on this matter at the time of publication.
