If you’re planning to sail on the Disney Magic, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Wonder, and the soon-to-be newest Disney Cruise ship, the Disney Wish, you’ll want to take note of the different COVID testing and vaccine regulations.

As noted on the Disney Cruise Line website:

Guests Recently Recovered from COVID-19: In some cases, people who have recently recovered from COVID-19 may still test positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. If Guests have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 within 11 to 90 days of their sail date, they may qualify to be considered as “90-Day-Recovered.” With the appropriate documentation and subsequent approval, Guests considered “90-Day-Recovered” are not required to participate in COVID-19 testing during the Pre-Sail, Embarkation or Disembarkation phases of their voyage. For details on what documentation is required, please visit Before Leaving Home: Know Before You Go.
