British Isles ​

This new itinerary for 2023 combines the greatest experiences (and some new surprises) from the Adventures by Disney tours of England, Ireland, and Scotland. It’s also the first Adventures by Disney trip to Northern Ireland. During this adventure, you’ll explore Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, the Antrim Coast, Glasgow, and London by bus, boat, and train. Learn how Irish whiskey is made in a local Dublin distillery, then sample an authentic meal at a local Irish pub. Explore the Antrim Coast and view the spectacular “Giant’s Causeway” in Northern Ireland. Tour Edinburgh Castle in Scotland, then take a train ride through the English countryside to explore London in all its glory. There, you’ll get a private viewing of the crown jewels, tour Westminster Abbey, and have photo ops in front of Buckingham Palace. You’ll even enjoy a speedboat ride along the Thames. This 10-day, 9-night vacation has departure dates from May through October. There are also adult-only tours on select dates in May, September, and October. 

European River Cruises

Transverse the most famous European rivers with Adventures by Disney for the first time since the pandemic! Adventures by Disney offers tours on three European rivers in 2023: 

Rhine 
This cruise travels through Switzerland, France, Germany, and the Netherlands on a 7-night journey. From toboggan rides to hikes through the Rhine Valley (and the opportunity to see 30 real-life fairytale castles), it’s an unforgettable experience! 

Danube 
Explore Medieval ruins, beautiful cathedrals, and the Austrian Alps during this 8-day, 7-night cruise through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. There are two tour options: East, which starts in Vilshofen, Germany, and West, which begins in Budapest, Hungary. 

Seine  
Start your tour in Paris, then discover the provincial towns of France, along with the beaches of Normandy and the Cliffs of Etretat. Get some extra time to explore Paris by adding a 3-day, 2-night “Paris Escape” itinerary to your river cruise, which includes a culinary tour and entrance to the Louvre.

Themed River Cruises 
On select dates, experience adult-only Oktoberfest cruises along the Danube or Food and Wine tours along the Rhine River. In addition, explore the famous Christmas markets across Germany, Austria, and Europe during holiday excursions on the Danube and Rhine. 

Sicily ​

Another new itinerary for 2023, this 8-day, 7-night tour allows you to explore the majesty and wonder of Italy’s southern island while visiting Palmero, Monreale, Piazza Armerina, and much more! Tour historic villages throughout the island, including towns that have lasted 2,000 years. Visit awe-inspiring destinations that were a part of ancient Greek and Roman culture, including the Valley of Temples and Neapolis Archaeological Park. Then, visit Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano. Top it all off with snorkeling in the Ionian Sea around Isola Bella while exploring the Blue Caves surrounding it. 

Arctic Expedition Cruise

Cool down this summer with expeditions to the arctic in June and July. This 10-day, 9-night exploration cruise includes a tour of Longyearbyen, Norway, the planet’s northernmost town with a permanent population of more than 1,000. You’ll also have ample time to explore Oslo, the capital of Norway. Take in the views of stunning fjords like Kongsfjorden, or take a dip in a heated pool aboard your ship as glaciers slide by. You’ll get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see arctic wildlife like polar bears, reindeer, arctic foxes, walruses, and puffins. Specific activities change daily on this expedition due to weather conditions, but other attractions may include visiting the Nordvest-Spitsbergen National Park or whale watching at Ice Floe Edge. 

Enjoy a traditional Nordic celebration of the Summer Solstice during the June itinerary, or join former Disney Imagineer Joe Rhode for special presentations on the July cruise.
