8 Destinations, 4 Countries

With so many destinations along the way in legendary countries like Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia, each stop along the Danube River is a new adventure for your family. This vacation is specifically designed for families to enjoy off the beaten path adventures to culinary delights and iconic gems. With the ship sailing each night you will literally wake-up in a new city each morning, ready to enjoy all that the Danube River has to offer!

Amazing Adventures in Every City

These vacations are specifically designed with families in mind– providing wonderful adventures for everyone at every single stop. From the moment you step on board your entire family will be exposed to thrilling activities, history brought to life, and amazing cultures! Exciting options include exploring a salt mine, hiking among the treetops, trying your hand at archery in a private lesson, and making your own Austrian strudel! No matter the adventure your family chooses, everyone will have an amazing time enjoying these truly magical destinations and creating lasting memories along the way.

World Class Adventure Guides

Ever since I took an Adventures by Disney trip to Peru last year I have been absolutely RAVING about the amazing Adventure Guides that come along on every trip. The Adventure Guides really help you see each and every destination through the eyes of a storyteller—and become part of the story. When you travel on an Adventures by Disney River Cruise, you’ll have Adventure Guides to make sure that every detail is taken care of. Along the way you will meet up with local experts that help ensure you feel a connection to the people, culture and traditions of the places you visit.

I have to tell you when you’re done you will want to take your Adventure Guides home with you! I continue to stay in touch with my amazing guide Michael.

Perfect for the Family

While river cruising is an amazing experience, it is often tailored to serve older couples looking a slower paced vacation. Adventures by Disney and AmaWaterways have specifically designed these Danube River Cruises with families in mind. From active, daily excursions, unique onboard activities like special nights just for kids, to wine tasting for adults—there is an experience available for everyone!
