A New Experience from Adventures by Disney

By Eric Cohen - Macaroni Dad April 14, 2015
You know those ads for river cruising that you see right before Downton Abbey on PBS? Where low ships cruise through Europe and you think..."that would be great for Grandma and Grandpa." Thanks to Disney, beginning in 2016, European river cruising will be great for you and your family.

Adventures by Disney just announced that they will be offering river cruising in Europe for families in 2016. Adventures by Disney offers grand trips with all the planning and logistics taken care of in advance. Each trip is led by an adventure guide who is an expert in the area and in ensuring family fun for all.

Adventures by Disney river cruises will offer a new way for families to experience the heart of Europe in a way that is active, engaging and easy. Four sailings along the Danube River in the summer of 2016, as well as one holiday themed sailing in December 2016, will give adventurous families the chance to experience classic and historic locations as well as hidden gems in eight destinations across four countries – Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary.

Highlights will include: a tour through a salt mine in Austria, a nighttime Illuminations Cruise in Hungary, Medieval activities at Devin Castle in Slovakia, strudel making, a Falconry show and a walk in the tree tops of Germany.

Even though the cruises are by Disney, don't expect "breakfast with Mickey" cruises. Instead, you can anticipate an authentic European experience with every detail meticulously planned for you and your family. If you plans for next year call for a trip of a lifetime, add this to your shortlist. For more info, visit the Adventures by Disney website.
