Disney launches Europe summer cruise for first time – and you can sail from the UK

DISNEY has announced its first ever summer cruise season to take place in Europe.

In 2023, the Disney Dream ship will sail around a number of destinations in Spain, France and Greece – and it will even depart from the UK.

The Disney Dream summer trips will range from four to 11 nights, departing from Barcelona and stopping off at places including Rome, Santorini and Mykonos.

And from late summer and early autumn, sailings will take place from Southampton in the UK, with destinations including Spain, France, Norway and Iceland.

Bookings for the 2023 itineraries go on sale from May 9, but are expected to be popular so you will have to be quick.

Prices for the from Southampton to Spain start at £2,024 for two adults sharing an interior cabin.

The Disney Dream is one of the newer Disney cruise ships, often sailing from Florida to the Bahamas.

Passengers can experience the one-of-a-kind AquaDuck ‘water coaster’, which takes adrenaline junkies whizzing through 765 feet of snaking tubes, offering unbeatable views of the ship and ocean waters.

Guests can also watch a Broadway musical production of the Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast, on-stage, one of the best in the world.

Children will be enchanted by the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique where young princesses and pirates can get a Disney style makeover to become their favourite character.

Meanwhile, adults can enjoy enjoy the no-kid zones which includes onboard nightclubs, adult-only swimming pools and dining venues.

A Disney cruise experience includes meals, unlimited soft drinks, kids clubs, live entertainment and character experiences.
