Disney Cruise Lines to offer maiden call to Belfast in 2019

Disney Cruise Lines has confirmed it will dock at Belfast Harbour for the first time next year.

Disney Magic, painted in Mickey Mouse-inspired colours, will visit the Northern Irish city as part of a seven-night British Isles cruise in September 2019.

Tony McAuley, commercial officer at Belfast Harbour, said the decision to bring Disney Magic to the city had taken “more than a year’s work”.

He said: “We continue to be committed to bringing cruise ships and tourists to Northern Ireland, adding Disney Cruise Lines to the global brands which already call in Belfast is a testament to the tourism offer and the facilities we have in Belfast Harbour.”

Belfast Harbour and Visit Belfast have announced that 2018 is expected to be a record cruise season with more than 200,000 passengers visiting the city.
