Adventures by Disney Expands River Cruise Options

Adventures by Disney is adding new cruise options for 2019, including an all-new sailing down France’s Seine River.

Sailing with AmaWaterways, the 10-day cruise will spend two days on land in Paris, with eight days sailing to French destinations such as Conflans and Vernon. The destination lends itself to a host of offerings. Culinary experiences like cheese sampling, hands-on macaroon-making demonstration, and regional wine tastings will be offered, as well as guided tours of Paris landmarks, including Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.

For active families, excursions such as biking, canoeing, horseback riding, and hiking will be available. Other local excursions range from a visit to Monet’s House and Gardens in Giverny, to Calvados tastings at an apple orchard, and castle tours.

Travel advisors booking the Siene river cruise can add on an extension package at Disneyland Paris Resort.

The new itinerary will include two summer 2019 departures and two adults-only epicurean sailings in the fall, which will offer a wide range of special food and wine-themed experiences.

There will be 21 river cruise departures in 2019, including sailings on the Danube and the Rhine, the most Disney has offered since it began offering river cruises in 2016.

Adventures by Disney will sail eight summer departures from the Rhine in 2019, as well as two adult-only epicurean sailings in the fall; and seven departures of their Danube river cruise, including five family departures during the summer, a family holiday-themed sailing in December, and an adult-exclusive Oktoberfest-themed sailing in September.

Adventures by Disney also launched a new four-day, three-night Southern California land tour that can be booked as a stand-alone vacation or as a pre-cruise option for Disney Cruise Line sailings departing from the port of San Diego. The package includes private tours of The Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering, VIP experiences at Disneyland Resort, an exclusive visit to Walt Disney’s Disneyland apartment, and more.

The new Southern California Short Escape package is available on select dates in the spring and fall of 2018.

Bookings for all of these new vacations open on Jan. 25, 2018.
