This summer, treat yourself to an unforgettable experience as you explore millennia-old cities, immerse yourself in vibrant cultures, or soak up the Mediterranean sun on a Disney cruise to the Greek islands!
With itineraries of seven to eleven nights departing from Civitavecchia (Rome) aboard the Disney Dream, it’s the perfect time to discover the ancient cultures and breathtaking landscapes of some of the Mediterranean’s most iconic destinations.
Relax on the picturesque beaches of Mykonos or visit local attractions to learn more about this legendary island paradise.
Mykonos, an essential Disney Cruise Line stopover in the Mediterranean, is famous for its idyllic beaches and unique island ambience. This Greek island, often nicknamed “the island of the winds”, is a veritable paradise for lovers of sun, sea and sand.
The beaches of Mykonos are renowned for their natural beauty and crystal-clear waters. Among the most famous, Psarou beach attracts visitors with its fine sand and turquoise waters. It’s the ideal place to relax, swim or even practice water sports.
Apart from its beaches, Mykonos is rich in culture and history. The town’s old port, with its whitewashed houses and narrow streets, offers a charming glimpse of traditional Cycladic life. The windmills of Kato Mili, dating back to the 16th century, are an emblematic symbol of the island and offer a breathtaking view of the Aegean Sea.
Little Venice, another Mykonos must-see, is a picturesque district with houses built directly on the sea. Here, visitors can enjoy a spectacular sunset while sipping a drink in one of the many cafés and bars.
Immerse yourself in history during a stopover in Naples and explore the ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii.
On your Disney Mediterranean cruise, a visit to Naples and the ruins of Pompeii is a fascinating step back in time. Naples, with its rich cultural and historical heritage, and Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, offer a unique and educational experience.
Naples, one of Europe’s oldest cities, is a treasure trove of art and architecture. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is packed with palaces, churches and impressive monuments. A visit to Naples Cathedral, the Duomo, is a must, as is the Castel Nuovo, an emblematic medieval castle.
The city is also famous for its cuisine, in particular for being the birthplace of pizza. A taste of genuine Neapolitan pizza is an experience not to be missed.
A short distance from Naples, the ruins of Pompeii offer a striking insight into life in antiquity. The city, buried under volcanic ash, has been remarkably preserved. Walking through the streets of Pompeii, visitors can see houses, temples, frescoes and even everyday objects, offering a unique perspective on Roman life two millennia ago.
Highlights include the Forum, the thermal baths, the Lupanar (brothel) and richly decorated villas such as the Villa of the Mysteries. A visit to Pompeii is not only fascinating, but also moving, bearing witness to the destructive power of Vesuvius.
Enjoy panoramic ocean views on Santorini, or stroll through the region’s shopping districts, museums and vineyards.
Santorini, jewel of the Cyclades, is an unforgettable stopover on your Disney Mediterranean cruise. Known for its breathtaking panoramas, white clifftop villages and rich cultural heritage, Santorini promises an experience both visual and emotional.
The first thing that strikes you on arriving in Santorini is the spectacular beauty of the landscape. The villages of Fira and Oia, with their whitewashed houses and blue domes, offer breathtaking views of the caldera. Strolling through these narrow streets is like getting lost in a living postcard, with the Aegean Sea as your backdrop.
In Piraeus, take a short trip to Athens and experience the archaeological wonders of one of Greece’s most incredible port cities.
Athens, the historic capital of Greece, is a captivating stopover for travelers on a Disney Mediterranean cruise. This city, the cradle of Western civilization, offers a deep immersion in Greek history and culture, with its ancient monuments and rich museums.
Athens’ most emblematic site is undoubtedly the Acropolis, a group of ancient ruins dominating the city. The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, is particularly impressive. To walk around the Acropolis is to follow in the footsteps of the philosophers, artists and politicians who shaped history.
Down from the Acropolis, the Plaka district, with its cobbled streets and traditional houses, offers a charming atmosphere and a glimpse of Athenian life.
