A MAGICAL cruise ship has returned to Portland Harbour once again.

The Disney Magic is an award-winning cruise liner that promises guests an 'immersive Disney experience' - including world premier movies, Broadway-style shows in the 1000-seat Walt Disney Theatre and an after-hours grown-up’s deck.

The vessel arrived at the port this morning, on September 12, flying under the flag of Bahamas.

She has 11 public decks, can accommodate 2,700 passengers in 875 staterooms,[1] and has a crew of approximately 950. The interior of Disney Magic is decorated in the Art Deco style.

Among the elaborate dining experiences on offer when carrying guests is the Animator's Palate restaurant in which diners can watch the restaurant, and its waiters, transform from black and white to colour throughout courses.

Disney Magic was built in 1998 and is owned by the Walt Disney Company and operated by Disney Cruise Line.
