“We are thrilled to have five ships at sea in summer 2023 with a wide array of destinations for families to enjoy,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president & general manager of Disney Cruise Line, in a press statement. “These Disney Cruise Line sailings will take families on summer adventures in ways that only Disney can do, delighting guests of all ages with dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, unique character encounters, the ease and indulgence of carefree days at sea and the uncompromising guest service that defines a Disney vacation.”
Disney Dream Marks Inaugural Season in Europe
For its first-ever summer season in Europe, the Disney Dream will call on a wide variety of destinations among the most treasured in the world. With sailings anywhere from four to 11 nights, the Disney Dream will sail from Barcelona and Rome to ports of call throughout the Mediterranean, including a first-ever 7-night sailing to the Greek Isles with stops in Santorini and Mykonos.
Late summer/early fall departures of the Disney Dream from Southampton will feature cruises to destinations including Spain, France, the British Isles, Norway and Iceland.
