While travel to Disney World has almost fully resumed to “normal” levels, drawing crowds to the parks, the Disney Cruise Line still has yet to resume since closing in March 2020.
Disney has been working to set sail on their test cruise (which is required by the CDC) this summer and now there’s been an update from the Canadian government that may mean that sailings can resume to Alaska in 2022.
Back in February, Canadian officials shared that they would be extending their cruise ban through February 28, 2022, which meant that the Disney Alaskan Cruises would not be able to sail again until at least that date (because a stop in Canada is required). But, Canada is now moving that date up.
According to the Official Website of the Canadian Government, the Minister of Transport, Omar Alghabra, has announced that the cruise ship ban will end three months early on November 1st, 2021. This is due to the continuing decrease in the spread of COVID-19 in Canada and the compliance with safety measures from Canadians.
Cruise ships sailing through (and from) Canada will still have to comply with public health requirements, though they have not released more information on what that will involve.
The Disney Cruise Line has yet to comment on when the Disney Wonder could set sail again, but the removal of the travel ban is one step in that direction. Of course, we’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates, so be sure to stay tuned to AllEars for the latest!

It is doubtful that Disneys ALASKAN cruises would resume at the end of the year since NO cruises operate there after early October due to winter weather.
