Port Excursions in Sicily with Disney Cruise Line

sicily

With the release of the 2015 Disney Cruise Line itineraries, there are many exciting new destinations that Disney Cruise Line will be sailing to! Along with these new destinations comes unique new port excursions as well. Check out the new port excursions in Sicily, available exclusively with Disney Cruise Line!

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and happens to be home to Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe. Beginning this year, Disney Cruise Line will stop in Catania, Sicily. This will be the gateway for guests to explore the island’s ancient churches, beautiful palazzos, lush gardens, magnificent beaches and Mount Etna.

Here is a little more information on the port excursions in Sicily, available with Disney Cruise Line:

  • Mount Etna Summit – Adventurous and active families will love the chance to summit to the top of Mount Etna. The excursion will start with a drive through the beautiful countryside and villages built along the slopes and then followed by a cable car ride further up the volcano. From there you’ll be taken by alpine guides in special motor vehicles, designed to navigate the “lunar“ landscape of black dunes, to the highest point available for visitation, just below the summit. At more than 8,800 feet above sea level, you can walk around, observe possible steam/gases, and learn about the volcanic system apparatus and lava flows.
  • Cooking Lesson at a Sicilian Home – One of the best ways to understand and immerse yourself in a culture is to learn from the locals! On this excursion, you will actually get to go into the home of a local for a hands-on cooking demonstration where you will learn how to prepare delicious Sicilian dishes and then enjoy your creations! This adventure, which takes place in one of the picturesque villages on the slopes of Mount Etna, is great for adults and older teens who love cooking (and eating!). There is also another adventure called “Sicilian Cooking for Families” for families with younger children.
  • Sicilian Puppets for Families – After a visit to a Puppet Lab to see how the famous Sicilian puppets are built, your family will learn the history of this folkloric art and then enjoy part of a show at the Puppet Museum. Adding to the cultural experience, you will hear the beautifully articulated, theater-style presentation in Italian while your English-speaking guide gives a synopsis of the intricate moves of the onstage scene.

Disney Cruise Line is sailing to brand-new destinations in the Mediterranean today, including Greece. Two of the ports that Disney Cruise Line’s 9-night Mediterranean cruise will stop at are Olympia, Greece and Rhodes, Greece. Here is more information about the port excursions in Olympia and Rhodes available with Disney Cruise Line.

Ancient Olympia was the birthplace of the Olympic Games. You can still visit the original Olympic stadium and gymnasium here. Olympia also happens to be home to the Temple of Zeus. On the Historic Olympia And Archaeological Museum tour, your family can get up close to ancient artifacts and artwork, including the Hermes of Praxiteles statue. There is also the Historic Olympia And Greek Folk Dances excursion that includes a visit to a charming, hillside estate for traditional Greek food and folk dancing! If you’re looking for relaxation, guests ages 21 and up can join the Historic Olympia, Archaeological Museum And Wine Tasting Port Adventure, which gives you the chance to sip local wine and tour the Mercouri vineyards and winery, a beautiful estate established in 1864.

One of the Greek Isles you can visit on this cruise is Rhodes, full of storied architecture, a mountainous countryside and sun-kissed beaches on the Aegean Sea. One of the most popular destinations in Rhodes is the charming seaside town of Lindos, characterized by its whitewash buildings and ancient Acropolis. The Lindos Acropolis And Ceramic Factory For Families tour gives you the chance to explore the town, climb to the base of the Acropolis, and even learn the art of Greek pottery by painting your own at a local ceramic factory.

The Filerimos, Kallithea And Taste Of Rhodes Port Adventure combines the beauty, cuisine and history of Greece with a visit to Filerimos and Kallithea. Historic Filerimos is one of Rhodes’ most beautiful areas, and on its ancient road to the Acropolis, you’ll see the foundations of the temple of Zeus and Athena. After exploring a domed monastery at the top, you will head to the town of Kallithea for sightseeing and a taste of delicious local Rhodean food and wine for a dining experience you’ll never forget!

Then, together as families, they create memories that last a lifetime. The moment you are welcomed aboard any of the Disney ships, you embark on a journey full of legendary Disney service and attention to detail, incomparable entertainment and unforgettable dining. When you plan a Disney Cruise Line vacation, you will have a vacation experience that feels like it was created just for you!

Entertainment for Everyone

On Disney Cruise Line, there is fun for all ages, happening both day and night, including original theatrical productions, adventurous deck parties, fireworks at sea, movies on the deck’s giant screen, first-run films (including some in digital 3-D for the first time at sea), exclusive Disney character experiences, and much more!

Broadway-style musicals are offered every evening at the spectacular Walt Disney Theatre, a 1,340-seat performing art palace on the Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream, 977-seats on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. There are original productions distinctive to each ship as well as guest-favorite shows that can be enjoyed on more than one ship.

  • Disney Wishes” (Disney Fantasy) is a 45-minute musical journey about three best friends who discover the secret to being a grown-up is staying connected to their inner child, and “Disney’s Aladdin – A Musical Spectacular” (Disney Fantasy) is a fast-paced musical comedy during which Aladdin is back as the “street rat” of Agrabah.

In addition to stage shows, Disney Cruise Line offers a host of special parties, including the adventurously themed deck party, Pirates IN the Caribbean. With stunt performers rappelling from atop the funnel, an epic battle at sea ensues as the good guys take on the villains. Disney characters such as Captain Hook, Mr. Smee, Captain Mickey, Minnie and Goofy join guests for a raucous good time, complete with music and dancing. Plus, as part of the nighttime fun: a spectacular pyrotechnics performance—fireworks at sea like only Disney can do!

Atop each ship’s forward funnel, Funnel Vision is a state-of-the-art, jumbo LED screen. Classic Disney animated features, movies, major sporting events and more are shown, as well as video presentations to enhance outdoor entertainment and deck parties by the family pool.

Guests can also enjoy daily character greetings, variety acts and live entertainment throughout each cruise.

Fun for Children, Tweens and Teens

Aboard Disney Cruise Line ships, it’s great to be a kid. Children can let their imagination sail free in nearly an entire deck customized just for them, tweens and teens have places to kick back and the smallest seafarers are cared for in a colorful space with an under-the-sea theme. Dedicated, age-specific areas and customized, interactive programs inspire, entertain and spark the imagination of children ages 3 months to 17 years.

While children are enjoying the most extensive youth activity areas at sea, parents can enjoy the ship “worry-free,” thanks to complimentary use of wave phones that allow crew or kids to contact parents anytime and anywhere on the ship. Plus, all Disney Cruise Line youth activities are supervised by specially trained, dedicated counselors and feature some of the longest operating hours at sea, providing greater flexibility for parents and even more fun for kids.

  • Infants and toddlers (ages 12 weeks to 3 years) are cared for and entertained with toys, books, crafts and games at Flounder’s Reef Nursery (Disney Wonder) and at It’s a Small World Nursery (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic). Disney Cruise Line’s babysitting services offer the longest operating hours of any cruise company. As an added convenience, all baby products needed for a Disney cruise can be pre-arranged and delivered directly to a guest’s stateroom upon arrival.
  • Children can customize their vacation by choosing from a variety of activities. Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab (ages 3-12) transport children to magical realms of adventure and exploration
  • Tweens (ages 11-14) enjoy video games, a multitude of hi-tech entertainment arts and movies in Edge.
  • For the teens, Vibe (ages 14-17) provides an ultra-cool teen-only hangout. Vibe is the perfect chill-out spot with music, Internet access, plasma-screen TVs, MP3 players, games, karaoke and snacks. On the Disney Fantasy and Disney Dream, teens have their own private deck for fun outside in the sun.

Adults Relax, Dine and Play

Disney Cruise Line offers adult cruise passengers upscale and sophisticated experiences designed just for them. From elegant dinners … to backstage tours … to the exclusive Quiet Cove pool, adults will find endless ways to relax and enjoy themselves in areas set aside just for them.

Relaxation and rejuvenation take control at Vista Spa and Salon (Disney Wonder) and at Senses Spa & Salon (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic), where the only thing more indulgent than massage, body wrap and pedicure is enjoying a treatment in a “spa villa” complete with an indoor suite connected to a private outdoor verandah with personal hot tub and open-air shower.

Palo, located high atop each ship, is a romantic fine-dining restaurant exclusively for adults. Remy (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) is Disney Cruise Line’s first premier adult-dining option. Meanwhile, Cove Café provides the perfect place to sit back and sip a gourmet coffee on all ships.

After Hours (Disney Magic), Route 66 (Disney Wonder), The District (Disney Dream) and Europa (Disney Fantasy) are nighttime entertainment neighborhoods offering adults an array of entertainment in clubs and pubs each night.

On Disney Cruise Line’s private island, Castaway Cay, adults have a beach all their own. At Serenity Bay, sparkling turquoise waters meet pristine white sand and two-person hammocks provide a peaceful place to relax. Private ocean-side cabanas are the ultimate venue for luxurious spa treatments.

Exceptional Dining Experiences

Uniquely themed restaurants are as delightful as they are delicious. While guests “rotate” through different restaurants each night, the same servers accompany them. This rotational dining takes guests through a variety of dining experiences and menus while providing friendly, familiar, personalized service each night.

  • At Animator’s Palate, Pacific Rim flavors combine with California freshness and a host of other cultural and culinary influences. As an added treat, passengers enjoy dinner and a show. On the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder, animation scenes from Disney films magically come alive with color. On the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy, the restaurant transforms into a shimmering undersea world where Crush, the sea turtle from the Disney•Pixar film “Finding Nemo,” swims around the room, conversing with and entertaining guests. On special evenings aboard the Disney Fantasy and Disney Magic, guests’ own drawings become animated.
  • Carioca’s (Disney Magic) is inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of Rio de Janeiro. Parrot Cay (Disney Wonder) features flavors from the Caribbean. Enchanted Garden (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy) is a casual restaurant inspired by the gardens of Versailles, featuring a seasonal menu of market-fresh ingredients.
  • Elegant Lumiere’s (Disney Magic), Triton’s (Disney Wonder), Royal Palace (Disney Dream) and Royal Court (Disney Fantasy) combine the best of continental cuisine with casual elegance for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
  • Adults may opt to dine at Palo, a premier restaurant featuring sweeping ocean views and modern Italian cuisine, and Remy (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy), an exquisite, French-inspired gourmet restaurant.
  • There are casual dining alternatives at Beach Blanket Buffet (Disney Wonder) and Cabanas (Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic).

Disney Difference

Most Disney Caribbean and Bahamian cruises lead to the magical shores of Castaway Cay, a private island paradise exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests, with activities and areas for families, teens and adults.

On a Disney cruise, staterooms are family-size, immaculately appointed with a nautical Disney flair and smartly designed to let guests stretch out in style and comfort. As an added convenience, most staterooms feature a “split bath-and-a-half” with a sink and tub/shower in one room and a sink and toilet in a separate room.
