Disney Cruise Line fans will have two new ports to try in 2018, when the line has itineraries scheduled to call in Bermuda and Quebec City.

The Disney Magic will sail from New York in the fall of 2018 on five-day sailings that include two full days in Bermuda and six-day sailings that include three days in Bermuda.

Seven-day itineraries will depart both New York and Quebec City, with visits scheduled at Saguenay and Baie-Comeau.

From New York, the Disney Magic will also make seven-day round trips to Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas, and Port Canaveral, where a one-day Walt Disney World Park Hopper ticket plus complimentary round-trip transportation between the ship and the theme parks is included.

HAL cancels 3rd Canada/New England cruise

Holland America Line has canceled a third consecutive Canada/New England voyage due to a technical problem with a propeller.

The seven-day sailing of the Veendam was scheduled to depart Quebec for Boston on Oct. 11; an Oct. 2 cruise from Boston was canceled last week.

Since canceling a Sept. 28 departure from Quebec, HAL had been doing repair work on the Veendam in Quebec. However, on Friday HAL said it had been determined that a complete repair can only be made in a drydock.

HAL said the ship would sail under its own power without guests from Quebec to Philadelphia, where the drydock work will take place.

“We are profoundly sorry for the disappointment of our guests who have been impacted by these required repairs,” HAL said.

Guests booked on the seven-day Oct. 11 sailing will receive a full refund of their cruise fare plus a future cruise credit of 100% of their cruise fare paid. In addition, HAL said it will reimburse nonrefundable expenses such as missed tours and excursions that were purchased through Holland America Line.
