Guided group excursion packages for select Europe cruises
Families can also enhance select European sailings with an Adventures by Disney package during the cruise.

In addition, guests will enjoy exclusive receptions onboard and have access to concierge service from these dedicated guides throughout the voyage.
These Adventures by Disney offerings open for booking beginning March 8, 2018, with the exception of the Vancouver Short Escape, which will open for booking later this year.
