If you love reading about the history of the Disney Cruise Line, here are some details to catch you up to speed or to refresh your memory. On July 30, 1988 (and the summer vacation for my freshman year in high school. Wow.), Disney Cruise Line put magic into the high seas with Disney Magic, its first ship.
High hopes and profits entailed and the cruise line signed a 10-year contract with Port Canaveral – still its top cruising port. And if you like some cool trivia to impress your friends and family, each of Disney Cruise Line’s ships are registered in Nassau, Bahamas.
Fast forward to present day where the fleet now offers sailing on five ships:
Disney Magic
Disney Wonder
Disney Dream
