Step Into a Fairytale with Adventures by Disney’s Reimagined Rhine River Cruise and New Munich Escape

If you’ve ever dreamed of drifting through storybook villages or standing before the very inspiration for the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, 2027 is your year.

I’m thrilled to share that Adventures by Disney is unveiling some exciting enhancements to its beloved Rhine River Cruise itinerary and, for those looking to add even more enchantment to their vacation, an all-new Munich Escape.

We’re elevating the guest-favorite Rhine River Cruise itinerary with enhanced experiences, new adventures, and Disney magic.

Along with exploring the picturesque town of Colmar and its charming marketplaces, colorful canals, and classic French treats, you’ll have the chance to stroll through Eguisheim, France – a village so enchanting it helped inspire Beauty and the Beast. I dare you not to hum “Bonjour!” as you wander the cobblestone streets.

If you fancy a fairytale rooted in nature, you can opt for a full-day excursion to discover the wonders of Lucerne, Switzerland, from the stunning streets of its Old Town to its natural wonders at Glacier Garden, or take a leisurely and scenic bike ride to the fortified town of Neuf-Brisach, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a unique star-shaped design and triple moat.

No matter which activity you choose, more real-world magic awaits in the evening with a Beauty and the Beast-inspired dinner menu served on board. Be our guest, and bon appétit.

Your enchanted river cruise journey ends in Amsterdam, and we’ve provided even more flexibility and free time to explore this wonderful city after the adventures of your choice.

Choose between gliding along picturesque canals on a scenic cruise with local treats or a visit to Zaanse Schans, a preserved Dutch village where Junior Adventurers can decorate their own wooden clogs – a keepsake straight out of a storybook. These activities are offered both in the morning and afternoon, giving you more flexibility to choose when the magic happens.

Adventures by Disney river cruises are offered in collaboration with AmaWaterways, where every ship feels like your own floating castle. With elegant staterooms designed with families in mind, gourmet cuisine inspired by the regions you visit, onboard activities for all ages and sweeping views of vibrant cities and the picturesque countryside, the magic sails with you.

And who could forget our incredible Adventure Guides? Four or more lead each river cruise, taking care of every detail so your vacation worries float away.

Want to make your European adventure even more unforgettable? The new three-day/two-night Munich Escape is the perfect way to see the region’s picturesque settings in a short time or add a dreamy extension to your Danube River Cruise.

You’ll explore the heart of Bavaria and stay steps from Munich’s charming city center, create your own traditional German treats in a hands-on workshop, and raise a glass at a centuries-old brewery.

But the real showstopper? A journey to Neuschwanstein Castle, the very creation that inspired Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland. Standing before its dreamy towers and alpine backdrop, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into your own Disney fairytale.

What makes Adventures by Disney trips truly special is how they bring Disney inspirations and stories to life. Every moment is thoughtfully designed to create memories you’ll always treasure.

And with our Adventure Guides leading the way, you can relax and enjoy a hassle-free vacation – complete with special access to immersive experiences, and delightful surprises for every member of the family.
