Are you considering a Disney Cruise in Europe, but looking for a new Disney experience? Maybe you love the magic and level of service you receive from Disney Cruise Line, but are looking to really get to know your destinations. Then it’s time to learn about Adventures by Disney River Cruises, on the best ways to explore Europe with Disney! If you think river cruising is just for grandparents then we cannot wait to share with you how Disney European river cruises are one of the best ways to see and experience Europe as a child, adult, couple, or family. Adventures by Disney has created the most family friendly river cruise experience available, and we are excited to bring you along.
Your entire family can experience Europe in an in-depth and interactive way with local guides on your Disney River Cruise.
Adventures by Disney has partnered with AmaWaterways, a leader in luxury river cruising, to provide a unique way to experience Europe on the Danube, Rhine, and Seine Rivers in Europe. These itineraries offer a truly all-inclusive experience along with concierge service that will spoil you and your family.
River cruising is now for kids too with activities the whole family can enjoy. Connecting staterooms, triples, and configurations for families of 5 are available on most sailings. Junior Adventures ages 4 and older are welcome aboard (although these itineraries are best for those 8 and older), and the team of Adventure Guides ensures that adults and children alike have an unforgettable vacation with dedicated activities and adventures throughout your sailing.
With less than 150 passengers on each Europe River Cruise, all guests on the Adventure by Disney River Cruises receive the same level of service whether you are in a suite, a balcony cabin, or a cabin with windows (there are no “inside” cabins on the river boats).
Your trip includes the following:
Deluxe cruise accommodations (outside, balcony and suites available)
Your choice of multiple excursions dailyServices of Adventure Guides, Cruise Director, onboard staff, and many local experts
All Gratuities
Fine dining with all meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) onboard the ship (child friendly options always available as are options for all diets and allergies)
Unlimited local wine, beer, and soft drinks with every lunch and dinner onboard
Coffee, tea and specialty coffees, such as espresso and café latte are available free of charge throughout the day and during meals (Yes! There is an espresso machine!)
Select meals off the ship for added experiences with regional cuisine
Daily Cocktail receptions, special welcome dinner, and Captain’s Gala Dinner
All entertainment onboard the ship such as a nightly piano lounge, baking class for kids, karaoke nights and more
Bottled water in all state rooms replenished daily
Unlimited WiFi
Yes, Adventure by Disney River Cruises includes unlimited free internet and all excursions. On top of that, Adventure by Disney River Cruises offer choices of full and half-day activities in every port. These activities are the authentic, immersive, VIP experiences that Adventures by Disney is known for. You will be accompanied by your amazing Adventure Guides and have the services of local experts in each port to show you the sites and bring your entire party into the culture of the city you’re visiting. The Adventure Guides travel onboard with you, so you will have their service throughout as they become like family throughout your sailing. And unlike other Adventures by Disney vacations, the ABD river cruises include ALL gratuities, even for the Adventure Guides, so this is truly an all-inclusive vacation. The only additions would be airfare, any pre or post-vacation nights, travel insurance (highly recommended), adult beverages consumed outside of meals and daily cocktail hour times, and souvenirs.
In addition to these family friendly river cruises, Adventures by Disney offers adult only sailings in Spring on the Seine, in the Autumn to experience Oktoberfest on the Danube and an amazing Food and Wine cruise on the Rhine. Disney also offers a special Holiday river cruise sailing on the Danube to experience the Christmas Markets. You can also combine your Seine River Cruise with an ABD Short Escape in Paris. If you’re sailing onboard a Disney Cruise to Europe, Adventures by Disney might be the perfect experience to add onto the front or back of your trip to really get to know and experience the places you’re visiting.
But what about cost? How much do Disney River Cruise cost, especially compared to all that’s included in my Disney Cruise?
