Adventures by Disney has announced its 2024 expedition cruise schedule, which includes a brand-new voyage along the Adriatic Sea.
2024 Adventures by Disney Cruise Highlights
Adriatic Sea
Families will experience expedition cruising on Ponant’s luxury ship Le Bougainville, a small, purpose-built ship designed to access remote locations. The seven-night roundtrip voyage will sail from Venice, visiting seven ports in Croatia and Montenegro. Highlights include:
- Discovering the islands of the Adriatic Coast with stops at Korcula to taste the famed Mali Ston oysters or Hvar to kayak along the Pakleni Islands
- Enjoying food, Croatian wine, architecture, and culture unique to the region
- Biking through vineyards and lavender fields of the UNESCO Stari Grad Plain
- Tasting local delicacies such as Dalmatian Prosciutto, aged by the bura, a northerly-blowing wind common in the winter months
- Exploring picturesque Boka Bay in Montenegro by catamaran or strolling the cobbled streets of Old Town Kotor
- Wandering medieval Croatian port-towns awash in warm limestone and red-tiled roofs, and visiting the world-famous Predjama Castle in Slovenia
- Delving into the underground labyrinth at Slovenia’s Postojna Cave and discovering the “dragons” that call it home
- Stepping back in time to learn about time-honored Croatian traditions, including methods of pressing olive oil
On board, guests will be able to take part in themed karaoke nights, game/trivia nights, a talent show, and watching Disney movies. Adults-only activities include cocktail workshops and fitness classes. Kids 12 and under have their own special set of programming led by the Adventure Guides, such as a “Pirates of the Adriatic” swim party, a pizza party, a Dalmatian Dash scavenger hunt, and navigation lessons.
