The Madagasikara Republic (Madagascar) issued in 2018 a miniature sheet with cruise vessels, the left top stamp shows us a Disney cruise vessel at anchor, comparing this with photos it must be the DISNEY MAGIC, she has a sister the DISNEY WONDER but I can’t find a photo of her at anchor. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6737&p=6733&hilit=disney+magic#p6733

Update:
In May 2007, DISNEY MAGIC started her inaugural Mediterranean cruises out of Barcelona, Spain. At the end of the summer, she returned to her home port of Port Canaveral. DISNEY MAGIC returned to Barcelona in 2010 for another summer of Mediterranean cruises, as well as several northern European cruises before again returning to Port Canaveral in September.
In 2010, DISNEY MAGIC sailed Disney Cruise Lines' inaugural Northern Europe itineraries, homeported in the port of Dover, 77 miles from London, England. She sailed to Norway, the British Isles, and the Baltic Sea during her three-month season.
In May 2012, DISNEY MAGIC was relocated to New York City, where she sailed 8-night cruises to the Bahamas, New England, and Canada. In September, she was relocated to Galveston, Texas, for the remainder of the year and offered 4 Night Caribbean Cruises, 6, 7, and 8 Night Western Caribbean Cruises, and 8 Night Bahamian Cruises. In June 2013, DISNEY MAGIC was re-positioned to Barcelona, Spain for the summer.
DISNEY MAGIC was put in for an overhaul at Navantia shipyard, Cadiz, Spain. In October 2013, Disney Cruise Line completed renovations to DISNEY MAGIC including updates to the ship's cabins, lounges, restaurants and spa and introduced new features including; "Marvel's Avengers Academy", a play area based on Marvel's Avengers characters, the AquaDunk, and the AquaLab, consisting of a pool and waterslide
