Disney Cruise Line will offer families a variety of vacations in summer 2023, including cruises to new and favorite ports of call around the world. From the glaciers of Alaska to the Greek isles, pink sand beaches of Bermuda and fjords of Norway, these summer destinations will provide great cruise options for guests. For the first time ever, families also will have the opportunity to sail around the Mediterranean and British Isles on the Disney Dream during its first season in Europe.
“We are thrilled to have five ships at sea in summer 2023 with a wide array of destinations for families to enjoy,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager of Disney Cruise Line. “These Disney Cruise Line sailings will take families on summer adventures in ways that only Disney can do, delighting guests of all ages with dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, unique character encounters, the ease and indulgence of carefree days at sea and the uncompromising guest service that defines a Disney vacation.”

With sailings from four to 11 nights, the ship will sail from Barcelona and Rome to ports of call throughout the Mediterranean, including a first-ever seven-night sailing to the Greek Isles with stops at Santorini and Mykonos.
Late summer and early fall departures of the Disney Dream from Southampton will feature such destinations as Spain, France, the British Isles, Norway and Iceland. New ports of call include La Rochelle, France, and two new ports in Norway—Skjolden, home to a wealth of natural attractions, and Sandnes, a small city just outside the metropolis of Stavanger known for its outdoor activities.
