Adventures by Disney Announces New Holland and Belgium River Cruise with Two Tour Options Beginning in 2025

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

Adventures by Disney continues its commitment to family travel with two new itineraries to Holland and Belgium. Beginning in 2025, families can embark on an enchanting river cruise and become immersed in Dutch culture, history and old-world charm, or join an exclusive spring departure to experience the legendary tulip season. 

Each Holland and Belgium River Cruise itinerary will delight guests with its historic landmarks and through hands-on activities for the entire family. Both the traditional tour and the tulip tour include iconic 18th century windmills, canal cruises through time-honored neighborhoods, art, architecture, and classic food and drink tastings, as well as city excursions, a pottery activity, visits to castles, biking through the countryside and more — all designed to take guests into the heart of the area’s storied history and modern-day influence.

The spring tulip sailing will also highlight Holland and Belgium’s world-renowned floral beauty and industry, including stops at breathtaking gardens and a tulip farm.

Each eight-day, seven-night voyage, in collaboration with AmaWaterways, will be led by Disney-trained Adventure Guides who take care of every detail and bring the destinations to life through masterful storytelling. Families will enjoy the convenience of unpacking once as the river cruise ship serves as the hotel for the entire trip. Meals and activities are provided and the selection — or on-your-own time — provides guests a customized adventure. Young travelers, or Junior Adventurers, can even choose to spend an evening together on an Adventure Guide-led activity.

Booking Information for 2025 Small Ship Adventures

Additional Small Ship Adventures returning in 2025 include the Danube, Seine and Rhine River Cruises and the Galapagos and Adriatic Expedition Cruises. Bookings open to the public on Friday, Jan. 19, 2024, with early booking available for the following travelers: 

  • Jan. 16, 2024 – Adventure Insiders with 3+ previous Adventures

  • Save $750 per person on select Galápagos Islands & Adriatic Expedition Cruise departures
  • Save $500 per person on select Galápagos Islands Expedition Cruise, Holland and Belgium, Danube, Rhine, or Seine River Cruise departures

 Click here for more details on the early booking offer.

Holland and Belgium: Two Countries Founded on Innovation, Art and Culinary Delights

Much of Holland and Belgium sit at or below sea-level, and for more than 700 years of necessity and innovation as a result of flooding, the landscapes have been sculpted and defined by windmills, canals, dikes and water stations to accommodate farming, commerce and residential life. Dutch artists have also influenced the visual arts for centuries.

Both itineraries begin and conclude in Amsterdam and include visiting sites and enjoying activities, such as:

  • Visiting the windmills at Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to marvel at the 18th century structures which elegantly represent the origins of water management, industry and trade.
  • Touring charming cities and castles and biking along picturesque pathways. Bicycles are provided for the bike tour options.
  • Delighting in the past and present of Royal Delft and learning about the pottery and craftsmanship created since 1653. A hand-painted tile activity will give guests their own unique memento to take home.
  • Improving photography skills through a smart phone workshop.
  • Taking a canal cruise through picturesque neighborhoods and learning the stories behind the historic buildings.
  • Discovering the original residence and workshop of Plantin and Moretus publishing, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the technique for how words and images were shared dating back to the 1500s. This visit will include a printing press demonstration and a hands-on activity.
  • Admiring the art of Peter Paul Rubens, breathtaking stained glass windows, sculptures and more at Antwerp’s Cathedral of Our Lady, whose Gothic-architecture construction was first started in 1352 and whose belfry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
  • Enjoying chocolate, cheese, waffles and beer tastings.

The Discovering Holland and Belgium Tour

On the traditional Holland and Belgium itinerary, guests will visit Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp, Kinderdijk, Gouda and Bruges. Highlighted activities specific to this tour include:

  • Embarking on a Pilgrim walking tour in Rotterdam and learning the city’s connection and history to the “New World.”
  • Celebrating the magic of music at the Utrecht Museum Speelklok.
  • Admiring and strolling through the Castle de Haar, the largest castle in the Netherlands.
  • Learning about Brussels’ influence on comic books or their expertise in chocolate through a chocolate-making workshop.

For adult travelers, Adventures by Disney will offer this tour for one adult-exclusive departure.

Embark on the Tulip Tour

Holland’s lowlands and climate give this region the ideal conditions for tulips. The tulip sailing will be offered once in April, to capture the splendor of the blooming season. Tulips are not only a flower to behold, they have also served as inspiration for Dutch master artists, and during tulip-mania in the 1600s, the bulb was used as an economic exchange.

On this itinerary, guests will visit Amsterdam, Hoorn, Middelburg, Ghent, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Kinderdijk and Schoonhoven. Highlighted activities specific to this tour include:

  • Marveling at Keukenhof’s brilliant display of 7 million spring-flowering bulbs and garden art throughout its 79 acres.
  • Visiting Hoorn and its expansive rows of tulips in every color, as well as touring a tulip farm to learn about how they are grown and bulbs are harvested.
  • Exploring the Floralia Flower Show and its more than 1 million tulip bulbs at the Castle of Grand Bigard, including a bonus hands-on Belgian chocolate-making activity.
  • Painting an ornamental clog in a traditional design to take home.

Discover Eastern Canada’s Maritimes with Adventures by Disney

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

In our recent announcement of new Adventures by Disney destinations beginning in 2024, the stunning Eastern Maritimes of Canada are sure to be a guest favorite! This new departure to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, which is available to book now, is full of natural beauty and outdoor activities for the entire family.

In our recent announcement of new Adventures by Disney destinations beginning in 2024, the stunning Eastern Maritimes of Canada are sure to be a guest favorite! This new departure to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, which is available to book now, is full of natural beauty and outdoor activities for the entire family.

Let’s take a closer look into what guests will experience.

Adventure Begins in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia, located on the east coast and almost completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, is home to three national parks and is known for its historical appeal. Upon arriving in Halifax, just one look out the airplane window and guests will immediately transported to vacation mode. The magnificent ocean and the lush landscape give a peek into what guests will experience over the next eight days.

This land adventure begins at the Sugar Moon Farm and tasting authentic maple syrup tapped on site. Guests will learn the process that takes this deliciousness from tree to table. 

 The Charm of Prince Edward Island

The adventure next features a picturesque ferry ride to Prince Edward Island, located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence – meaning endless beaches and fresh sea air. The stunning white shingled tower and red iron lantern of the Wood Islands Lighthouse, built in 1876, are striking contrasts against the beautiful blue skies. Local guides will lead a tour and share the history of the lighthouse, plus guests will learn about the area’s sea life and sea glass which support the area’s aquatic ecosystem.

Junior Adventures will have their own kite making and flying activity on the shore, and it will be a beautiful site to watch the sea breeze carry the kites high in the sky.

Fans of the “Anne of Green Gables” stories will recognize Avonlea Village, the fictitious name author Lucy Maud Montgomery gave to Cavendish. Here, guests will explore the historic buildings and visit the museum dedicated to the noted author and the schoolhouse where she taught. Avonlea Village is dotted with replications of houses and shops from the time of the novels. Guests can even opt to roll up their sleeves to plant and dig potatoes, take a carriage ride, and have tea with a descendant of her family.

The Confederation Bridge, an Engineering Marvel

En route to the mainland, guests will stop at the Confederation Bridge, a magnificent display of Canadian engineering, before embarking on a relaxing boat cruise on the calm waters of Shediac Bay. An expert in lobstering will share about sustainable and responsible fishing practices, followed by lunch onboard.

More fun awaits at the Funday Bay (pun intended!). During low tide, guests will embark on a privately guided tour of the open ocean floor and hear stories about the origin of Hopewell Rocks Park. At Hopewell Rocks, select from a variety of activities, such as kayaking, horseback riding, or bike riding followed by canoeing. Not to be missed is watching high tide come in that evening. And be sure to look up after sunset to see a beautiful star-filled sky.

Our next stop is the Millbrook Cultural Center to learn about the Mi’kmaq people, their traditions and ceremonies, and the significance of the Talking Stick. Historically and culturally, the Talking Stick is a tool to keep order and teach respect for others. Guests will even select their own stick to take home and personalize it with accessories such as beads, paint and feathers.

The final day of this inspiring trip will include exploring the Trans-Canada Trail and hiking along the renovated railway trail. Adventures by Disney itineraries also have built-in on-your-own time for guests to dine, shop or explore the region like locals. 

Following the morning and early afternoon activities, everyone will gather for a sailing on a 130-foot schooner called the M/S Silva. The tall ship, constructed in the 1930s, will sail through Halifax Harbour with views of historical landmarks and beautiful scenery. The farewell dinner is in a restored 1800s warehouse converted into a nautical-themed pub. Celtic entertainment and a hearty, authentic Nova Scotia meal will leave everyone with memories to last a lifetime.

As with every Adventures by Disney trip, our Disney-trained Adventures Guides lead every step of the way and take care of all the details, ensuring a fun-filled, hassle-free vacation. They even plan activities for the Junior Adventures (younger guests)!

Departures begin in June 2024 and run through the summer months. For a complete itinerary and list of activities, visit Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island Land Adventure. 

Let’s take a closer look into what guests will experience.

Adventure Begins in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia, located on the east coast and almost completely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, is home to three national parks and is known for its historical appeal. Upon arriving in Halifax, just one look out the airplane window and guests will immediately transported to vacation mode. The magnificent ocean and the lush landscape give a peek into what guests will experience over the next eight days.

This land adventure begins at the Sugar Moon Farm and tasting authentic maple syrup tapped on site. Guests will learn the process that takes this deliciousness from tree to table. 

 The Charm of Prince Edward Island

The adventure next features a picturesque ferry ride to Prince Edward Island, located in the Gulf of St. Lawrence – meaning endless beaches and fresh sea air. The stunning white shingled tower and red iron lantern of the Wood Islands Lighthouse, built in 1876, are striking contrasts against the beautiful blue skies. Local guides will lead a tour and share the history of the lighthouse, plus guests will learn about the area’s sea life and sea glass which support the area’s aquatic ecosystem.

Junior Adventures will have their own kite making and flying activity on the shore, and it will be a beautiful site to watch the sea breeze carry the kites high in the sky.

Fans of the “Anne of Green Gables” stories will recognize Avonlea Village, the fictitious name author Lucy Maud Montgomery gave to Cavendish. Here, guests will explore the historic buildings and visit the museum dedicated to the noted author and the schoolhouse where she taught. Avonlea Village is dotted with replications of houses and shops from the time of the novels. Guests can even opt to roll up their sleeves to plant and dig potatoes, take a carriage ride, and have tea with a descendant of her family.
