Disney Dream Mediterranean, Greek Isles & Europe Cruise 2023
The Silver Anniversary at Sea Disney Cruise, where we embarked on an unforgettable adventure through the Mediterranean with the stunning Greek Isles as our backdrop. This 8-night cruise from Civitavecchia (Rome) offers a magical journey filled with captivating destinations and extraordinary experiences.
Our voyage began in Civitavecchia, the gateway to Rome, where you can explore the timeless beauty and rich history of the Eternal City before setting sail. As the Disney Magic cruise ship set course, we got ready to immerse ourselves in the splendour of the Mediterranean. Our first stop was Naples, Italy, where we uncovered the fascinating history of Pompeii. Walk through the ancient ruins of this once-thriving Roman city that was buried under ash and pumice after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. It's a remarkable opportunity to step back in time and witness the preserved remains of an ancient civilisation.
Continuing your voyage, you'll arrive at the vibrant island of Mykonos, known for its stunning beaches, charming windmills, and bustling nightlife.
We were mesmerised as we sailed into the breathtaking Santorini, famous for its dramatic cliffs, white-washed buildings, and panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Explore the charming villages, marvel at the iconic, blue-domed churches, and witness unforgettable sunsets that will leave you in awe. Next, the cruise takes you to Piraeus, the gateway to Athens, Greece's capital city. Step back in time as you explore the birthplace of democracy, visit the ancient Acropolis, and admire the architectural wonders of the Parthenon and the Temple of Zeus.
Finally, the cruise concludes with a visit to Chania, Greece, a picturesque port town on the island of Crete. Here, we wandered through narrow streets lined with colourful Venetian buildings, discovered ancient ruins, and indulged in the tantalising flavours of traditional Greek cuisine.
Next, the cruise took us back to Civitavecchia, allowing us the opportunity to revisit Rome or explore its iconic landmarks, such as the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Trevi Fountain. We could immerse ourselves in the grandeur of this ancient city and create lasting memories. Throughout out Silver Anniversary at Sea Disney Cruise, we enjoyed world-class entertainment, exquisite dining experiences, and the legendary Disney service that made our journey even more memorable. Whether you're a family seeking adventure or a couple celebrating a special occasion, this Mediterranean cruise stops at Chania, Civitavecchia, Mykonos, Santorini, Piraeus, and Naples, promises extraordinary enchantment and wonder.
