The Disney Magic will make multiple stops in Scotland in 2016 during its first British Isles cruise.

Disney in 2016 will offer its first cruise to the British Isles and will return to Norway and Iceland for a second year, the line announced today.

Disney says the 1,754-passenger Disney Magic will sail a 12-night voyage departing from Dover, England on June 5, 2016 that will feature stops in Invergordon, Kirkwall and Greenock (for Glasgow), Scotland; Newcastle and Liverpool, England; Dublin, Ireland; Le Havre, France; and Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. All of the stops, except Kirkwall, are first-time ports of call for Disney.

The Magic then will offer two new 12-night sailings to Iceland that will include two days in Reykjavik, Iceland and a stop in Akureyri, Iceland; Bergen, Norway; and Kirkwall. Departing from Dover and concluding in Copenhagen, Denmark, the first of the Iceland sailings will kick off on June 17, 2016 and also include stops in Stavanger, Norway and Newcastle. The second of the Iceland sailings will start on July 13, 2016 in Copenhagen, conclude in Dover, and also include visits to Oslo, Norway; Kristiansand, Norway; and Invergordon.

Disney today also announced that the Disney Magic will operate a seven-night cruise to the Norwegian fjords from Dover in 2016 -- another new-for-the-line itinerary. It'll kick off on May 29, 2016 and include stops in Stavanger, Alesund, Geiranger and Bergen, Norway.

Disney is offering its first cruises to Norway this year with trips that begin and end in Copenhagen.

Disney today said the Disney Magic also will spend part of the summer of 2016 sailing to the Baltic, the Greek Isles and the Mediterranean with a variety of seven-night and longer sailings.

The Disney Wonder will return to Alaska for the summer of 2016 while the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy continue to sail to the Bahamas and Caribbean from Port Canaveral, Fla., the line added.

Bookings for the newly announced itineraries open on March 26.

Christened in 1998, the Disney Magic emerged from a massive, six-week makeover in late 2013 that included the addition of new deck-top fun zones, children's areas, eateries and more. Click through the carousel below to see what's new.
