Disney sails into river cruise market

Adventures by Disney will enter the river cruising market in partnership with AmaWaterways, with five sailings along the Danube River set for 2016.

The company’s first eight-day/seven-night river cruises will take place in July 2016 aboard the new 170-passenger AmaViola, departing July 7, July 14, July 21 and July 28. The cruise will take guests through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, with visits to iconic sites and destinations in each country.

A special holiday-themed sailing, departing Dec. 22, 2016, will also include visits to the renowned Christmas markets in Budapest and Vienna, as well as a Vienna Boys Choir Christmas performance in the Hofburg Palace Chapel.

Ship-board activities will also be offered with families in mind – adults can take part in wine tasting, music, dancing and an onboard fitness center, while younger travellers can enjoy activity nights, movies, video games and more.
