The Disney Magic, the line's first ship to
sail in Europe, arrived in Barcelona, Spain, May 24.
The Port of
Barcelona will serve as the 2,700-passenger ship's homeport this
summer while it operates 10- and 11-day Mediterranean itineraries,
visiting France, Italy and Spain.
"This is a
special way to launch our unique Mediterranean cruises," said
Disney Cruise Line President Tom McAlpin in a statement. "Our
guests have told us they want to explore different parts of the
world with Disney Cruise Line, and we're delighted to provide them
with an authentic European experience combined with a fun,
family-friendly cruise only Disney can deliver."
Passengers on the
ship were treated to a debut of the new Disney film release,
"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End." The movie debuted
earlier in the week across Europe and debuts May 25 in the
U.S.
In summer 2008,
the Magic will reposition to the U.S. West Coast to sail seven-day
cruises from Los Angeles to the Mexican Riviera.
