In what is certainly exciting news for families wanting to experience a river cruise, Adventures in Disney, a part of the Walt Disney company which offers exciting family holidays to a wide choice of destinations around the globe, has just announced its first-ever river cruise itineraries.

Adventures in Disney has partnered with award-winning AmaWaterways to offer a choice of four Danube river cruise itineraries throughout summer 2016, along with a Christmas-themed sailing taking place in December 2016. Cruisers will have the chance to explore eight different destinations in Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary, with the ship arriving in each port early in the morning and departing late at night, offering families more time in port and the maximum opportunity for fun and discovery.

On every sailing and in each port, eight specially trained Disney Adventure Guides will complement the knowledge and expertise of the existing AmaWaterways staff and crew, leading a wide choice of immersive and original excursions, from a Sound of Music experience in Salzburg to a traditional folk dancing lesson in Melk.

AmaWaterways’ stylish AmaViola , set to make her debut in 2016, will be the ship on which 170 lucky guests will enjoy the Adventures in Disney itineraries and she is being custom-built specifically with families in mind. To this end, AmaViloa will feature connecting staterooms, specially-configured rooms and specially-designed activities for all the family. Adults can enjoy all the refinement that they’ve come to expect from river cruising with fine cuisine and wine-tasting opportunities, while children can have fun with activity nights, movies, karaoke and video games. The ships’ life-size chess set is sure to be a hit with all ages, too.

At RiverVoyages.com we have an excellent selection of AmaWaterways itineraries available on the Danube and a host of other celebrated rivers around the world. Take a look at what’s on offer then call our dedicated Cruise Concierge team to book your place on-board today.
