After announcing last
month that it is launching river cruises through a partnership
with AmaWaterways, Adventures by Disney has already added two more departures "due to popularity and mass interest in the program."
Originally, Disney’s
tour operator arm said it would offer four sailings along the Danube River
during summer 2016, and one holiday-themed sailing in December 2016.
There will now be five sailings in the summer, as well as two sailings in
December of 2016. The itineraries will travel through Germany, Austria,
Slovakia and Hungary.
Adventures by Disney
will charter the 170-passenger AmaViola, a ship that is launching in 2016 and
is being custom-built to cater to families. Family-friendly features on the
AmaViola will be six sets of connecting staterooms, as well as some rooms and
suites that can accommodate families of three or four people.
There will be wine tastings, fine dining, music, dancing and an
onboard fitness center geared toward adults, and movies, karaoke, relay games,
chess lessons on an oversized board, video games and themed nights for young children
and teens.
There will be
eight Adventures by Disney guides on each sailing in addition to the AmaWaterways
crew.
The Adventures by
Disney sailings will take place July 7, 14, 21, 28, Aug. 4, Dec. 15 and 22.
Adventures by Disney,
which launched in 2005, offers 30 guided vacations on six continents.
