Ship enthusiasts were in for a treat this morning (12 September) as Northern Ireland greeted its biggest ship for 2023 into its harbour. Disney Dream, the third ship within the Disney Cruise Line Fleet, docked in Belfast Harbour for the first time after departing Southampton on 10 September.

The stop is part of a 7 day trip around the British Isles for the ships Sliver Anniversary at Sea.

The ship will depart Belfast tonight at 7pm, sailing to Greenock, Scotland.

What’s onboard it’s 14 decks?

FOR THE ADULTS

While the kids are off having the times of their lives, adults can retreat to exclusive onboard locales created just for them. Experience calm at sea inside  Senses Spa & Salon  before heading over to the adults-only part of the ship known as The District, home to mixed drinks at  Skyline  and  Pink , live televised sporting events at  687 Pub  and dancing at  Evolution .

Children will find something to love at fantastically themed youth clubs.  Disney’s Oceaneer Club  invites kids to play in larger-than-life spaces fuelled by Disney storytelling, while tweens can kick it at  Edge , where video games, music and movies are all the rage. And inside Vibe, teens are free to mingle in a parents-free, loft-style lounge where karaoke and dance parties rule.

Splash it up on the high seas! Kids and families are invited to cool off at  Mickey’s Pool  and  Donald’s Pool , while adults looking for a more relaxing sojourn can spend the afternoon at  Quiet Cove Pool . Thrill seekers will not want to skip  AquaDuck , the exhilarating, twisting water coaster that extends over the side of the ship.

SPORTS AND FITNESS

Keep shipshape at the full-service fitness centre—home to state-of-the-art weight machines, exercise classes and breathtaking ocean views.

Hungry for something different? Feast on gourmet delights and casual fare at magically themed restaurants. And with Disney’s one-of-a kind Rotational Dining, you’ll “rotate” to one of 3 different restaurants with a unique menu each day of your cruise, accompanied by servers who cater to your every taste.

MAIN DINING

Be drawn into a “state-of-the-art” dinner show at  Animator’s Palate , dine like a king or a queen in a classic Disney fairytale at  Royal Palace , and savour an arboretum of appetising delights in a serene conservatory setting at  Enchanted Garden .

CASUAL DINING

You can even grab a quick between-meal snack or satisfy a late-night craving in the comfort of your room with complimentary, 24-hour in-room dining.

ADULT-EXCLUSIVE DINING

Looking for a romantic, adults-only evening out?

Disney Cruise Line to offer first voyage to Northern Ireland

Add Northern Ireland to the list of destinations you can reach on a Disney cruise. 

Disney on Thursday revealed it would offer its first sailing to the region in September of 2019. 

The seven-night voyage out of Dover, England will feature a day visit to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, as well as stops at other ports in the British Isles. It'll take place on the 1,754-passenger Disney Magic .

Disney has offered British Isles cruises since 2016 but until now the trips haven't included stops in Northern Ireland.

Belfast is just one of seven new European ports on the schedule for Disney in 2019. The line on Thursday also revealed plans for its first calls at Gothenburg and Nynashamn, Sweden; Toulon and Brest, France; Cartagena, Spain; and Fredericia, Denmark.

Disney also said it would offer a round-trip sailing from Civitavecchia, Italy (near Rome) in 2019 — a first for the line. The eight-night Disney Magic voyage will kick off on June 14, 2019 and feature calls at Salerno and La Spezia, Italy; Villefranche and Marseilles, France; and Barcelona, Spain. Salerno is a jumping off point for tours to the Amalfi Coast. La Spezia is a gateway to Pisa and Florence. 

The new voyages will open for bookings on Thursday.

Disney British Isles Cruise 2022 [Updated]

Sharing is caring!

Do you want to know more about a Disney British Isles Cruise? The Disney Magic sails from Dover, England on an exciting British Isles cruise with port stops in England, Ireland, and Scotland.

Here we discover more about the itinerary and the British Isles port adventures and excursions available on your Disney Cruise.

Disney British Isles Cruise Itinerary

Disney cruise dover, disney british isles cruise excursions and activities, edinburgh castle and holyrood palace, glasgow city and kelvingrove gallery, panoramic scottish lochs, dublin city highlights, becoming a guinness connoisseur , jameson shakers experience, river cruise and dublin sights, in the steps of the beatles, a taste of chester, lake district explorer with lake steamer, north wales and conwy castle, a leisurely drive through belfast, spectacular antrim coast and giant’s causeway, visit to blarney castle, behind the scenes of midleton distillery , titanic story walking tour, cork harbour sea safari , a lord’s private manor and english cream tea, history and mystery at salisbury & stonehenge, jurassic rib ride to lulworth cove, disney 12 night british isles cruise.

There is only one Disney British Isles cruise available to book right now which includes ports in England, Scotland, and Ireland.

This Disney Magic Cruise sails from Dover, England on September 11, 2022.

Your Disney Cruise will start from the port of Dover which is located on the South East coast of England.

Guests traveling from overseas will most likely fly into London, with the most usual airport from the US being Heathrow.

If you are flying into London it is a great idea to add at least 2 nights (and hopefully more) to stay in this amazing city.

There is so much to see and do in London, you really should take the chance to spend some time here if you can.

It is relatively easy to get from London to the Disney Cruise Port in Dover. The distance is around 85 miles by road, however, if you are visiting from overseas I do not recommend that you rent a car to drive that journey! There are easier ways…

Disney usually offers a shuttle from London and Heathrow Airport, although you should research if this is the most efficient and cost-effective way of traveling there.

When a major cruise ship, such as the Disney Magic is in port in Dover there are shuttles from Heathrow to the port.

Another easy way to travel is by train. You will need a taxi from the train station to the port, but it’s not too far.

Here is more information about your London to Dover Transportation Options.

A huge part of the cruise experience is the excursions and activities which are offered to explore the ports.

Here are just some of the excursions offered on the Disney British Isles cruise.

Greenock, Scotland Disney Cruise Excursions

Greenock is a small town on the Scottish west coast. Glasgow is just 27 miles away with Edinburgh a bit further, but still a very manageable 72 miles away.

There are some excellent port adventures on offer from Greenock with Disney Cruise Lines. Here are some of the best picks:

It takes around 2 hours to reach Edinburgh from Greenock in your air-conditioned bus. You will visit Edinburgh Castle – a fascinating and largely well preserved medieval castle.

You will then visit Holyrood Palace, which is the Queen’s official residence in Edinburgh. Don’t expect that she will be in residence, but the Royal Apartments are fascinating, particularly if you are familiar with any of the history of Mary Queen of Scots who lived there for some time before her forced abdication.

The cost of this excursion is $164 for adults and $89 for children aged 3 to 9. There is also an adult-only departure available.

You can also combine a visit to Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood with a tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia. This is $149 for adults and $89 for children aged 3 to 9.

This approximately 5 hour tour gives you a good overview of Glasgow. You will spend around 90 minutes on a driving tour around the city. You will then drive to beautiful Kelvington where you will see the old university with its historic buildings and take a look at the museum.

The cost for this excursion is $65 for adults and $40 for children aged 3 to 9.

If the beautiful scenery of Scotland is on your wish list, this Panoramic Scottish Lochs excursion is a great option. You will see four of Scotland’s lochs, including the most famous one, Loch Lomond on this 5 hour tour. It is priced at $75 for adults and $45 for children aged 3 to 9.

Dublin, Ireland Disney British Isles Cruise Port Adventures

The Disney Magic first sailed to Dublin in 2016 and it’s been a highly popular port stop since then. Dublin Port is located just about a mile from the vibrant city centre of Dublin, so it is possible to tour the city by yourself.

Unfortunately, Dublin is not a port stop on the Disney British Isles Cruise in 2022. It has been replaced with a port stop in Belfast.

However, there were also some excellent Disney cruise port adventures available from Dublin. I am leaving these in this article for the sake of completeness as I am confident there will be a return to Dublin in 2023.

This 4.5 hour tour takes you on a scenic tour of Dublin with stops at  Trinity College and St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The cost is $99 for adults and $72 for children aged 3 to 9.

Dublin is of course famous for Guinness. If you want to learn more about this much revered and historic beer the Guinness Connoisseur Tour is for you. Well, if you are over 18 anyway!

You will experience a tour and luxury tasting in the Guinness Storehouse The cost is $199 and you must be 18 or older to participate.

If you are more of a fan of whiskey than the black stuff, this tour is the one for you. This activity will combine a city tour of Dublin with a Whiskey Shakers 60-minute master class in the art of making whiskey cocktails where you’ll try your hand at three different cocktails. 

You need to be at least 21 or older for this tour which costs $289.

This is a great way to see the sights of Dublin. Board the  Liffey Voyager  for a 45-minute relaxing cruise along the river. The cost is $79 for adults and $56 for children aged 0 to 9. This is one of the few activities where children under 3 are charged.

Liverpool England Port Adventures

Liverpool port is conveniently located within easy walking distance of the City Centre, but you may want to take a port adventure so that you can see things a little further afield.

When you think of Liverpool you think of The Beatles. There are a number of tours available including this one which is a 4.5 hour experience.

You will visit The Beatles Story museum, The Cavern Club, Abbey Road, Penny Lane, and Strawberry Fields. If you are a Beatles fan this is a must-do tour! The cost is $93 for adults and $72 for children aged 3 to 9.

Just a 75 minute drive away is the beautiful medieval town of Chester. You will experience a driving tour by motor coach for an hour and then get 2.5 hours to explore on your own.

Explore the 12th-century Cathedral and the Roman Walls. Browse the shops and perhaps have a traditional English Tea. The cost is $103 for adults and $87 for children aged 3 to 9.

The Lake District is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful areas of England. You can enjoy this 7 hour tour for $129 for adults and $98 for children aged 3 to 9.

The motor coach journey takes around 2 hours from Liverpool. You will then board a lake steamer boat to the beautiful town of Bowness. After some free time browsing the stores and taking in the scenery you will board the motorcoach back to the Disney Magic in Liverpool.

This amazing fortification is just under 2 hours drive from Liverpool and offers fabulous views of the mountains and the ocean. Conwy Castle is a remarkably well preserved 8 tower castle.

Enjoy a 3-course meal in the charming village of Betws-y-Coed, and enjoy free time to browse the shops for souvenirs. The cost of this port adventure is $175 for adults and $142 for children aged 3 to 9.

Belfast, Northern Ireland Disney British Isles Cruise Port Adventures

Belfast is a fascinating city, with plenty of different Port Adventures to choose from.

This gives you a great overview of the City of Belfast. This 3-hour motor coach tour will show you the highlights of Belfast including Grand Opera House, the Albert Memorial Clock, and Belfast Castle.

The cost is $39 for adults and $29 for children aged 3 to 9.

The coastal area is stunningly beautiful and well worth taking a tour to experience this part of the country,

Your motor coach tour will last approximately 9 hours and take you to see some amazing sights including Giant’s Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge.

The cost is $149 for adults and $109 for children.

Cobh, (Cork) Disney Cruise Port Activities

Cobh is a small town that has the only designated cruise ship port in Ireland. Cobh itself is pleasant enough, but you will probably want to venture further afield.

If you have ever wanted to kiss the Blarney Stone now is your chance with this excursion to Blaney Castle. Just a short 45 minute drive from the cruise port, Blarney Castle is an amazing piece of history. Built in 1446, the Castle is set in beautiful grounds.

You will have some free time to explore the town. This is a great chance to pick up some genuine Irish made souvenirs including Waterford Crystal, Irish Linen, and Celtic Jewelry.

Ireland is of course well known for its fine whiskey. On this excursion you will first drive to Cork for a 60 minute tour of the town.

You will then drive to Midleton to visit the Jameson Distillery. Guests will taste 3 different premium whiskey samples.

You have to be aged 21 and over to experience this tour and the cost is $220.

Perhaps you may not want to think about the Titanic when are sailing on a Disney Cruise, but if you do this is an interesting tour!

Cork was the place where the Titanic set sail – and you can learn more about the history of the doomed voyage on this 3 hour walking tour around the town. The cost is $110 or adults and $75 for children aged 3 to 9.

If you want to experience something a little more adventurous you may want to try this tour which costs $130 and is open to aged 12 and over only. Board a 12-person Rigid Inflatable Boat to explore Cork Harbour, at high speed. 

You will stop for a brief time to experience an Irish Coffee Making Demonstration before you head back to the harbor.

Portland (Stonehenge) Disney British Isles Cruise Excursions

Portland is located in the incredibly beautiful county of Dorset in England. Many guests travel to Stonehenge, but we would suggest that you think about some alternative excursions as

Take an excursion to a traditional English stately home at Minterne House and Gardens. Guests will meet the lord of the manor himself, Lord Digby, who will take them on a private tour of the house. Then relax with a Dorset cream tea in the family dining room.

This is an exclusive tour which is not usually open to the general public. The cost is $114 for adults and $84 for children aged 3 to 9.

Many people will want to visit Stonehenge and this tour combines a trip there with a visit to the beautiful city of Salisbury with its historic Castle and Cathedral.

The tour lasts approximately 8 hours and for half of that you will be in a motor coach. If I sound as though I am being less than positive about this is that you should probably do your own separate research about what you can see at Stonehenge. As obviously the stones need to be preserved, the area was fenced off quite some time ago. You can still see the stones, but the experience is not once it once was.

The cost for this tour is $139 for adults and $109 for children aged 3 to 9.

For the more adventurous you can take an exciting tour to Lulworth Cove in a Rigid Inflatable Boat. The coast is known as the Jurassic Coast Cruise,England’s first and only Natural World Heritage site. You sail to the beautiful bay of Lulworth Cove.

This area really is spectacular and this is a great way to see it. The tour costs $179 for adults and $159 for children aged 3 to 9.

Will Disney bring back the 12 night British Isles Cruise for 2023?

This was a very popular cruise and had the following as port stops:

• Newcastle, England
• Invergordon, Scotland
• Kirkwall, Scotland
• Greenock (Glasgow & Edinburgh), Scotland
• Liverpool, England
• Dublin, Ireland
• Le Havre, France
• Peter Port, Guernsey

The longer cruises do tend to sell out quickly, but it remains to be seen what Disney Cruise itineraries will look like for Europe in 2023.

Right now all of the Disney Cruise 2022 itineraries have been released, and early 2023 has also been released.

The Disney Magic has traditionally sailed from May to September in Europe. With the launch of the Disney Wish in June 2022, the Magic is expected to continue this pattern, and perhaps even extend her European dates for 2023.

Disney Cruise Line names its newest cruise ship

I t was bound to happen sometime, but Disney Cruise Line waited until its last of three new sister ships to name one Disney Destiny.

The sister ship to Disney Wish, which debuted out of Port Canaveral in 2022 and the soon-to-debut Disney Treasure arriving in Central Florida this December, the third ship in what was originally called the Trident class had its keel laying ceremony Wednesday at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

It won’t start sailing until 2025, and its home port has yet to be named, but among the details revealed for what will be the eighth ship in the cruise line’s fleet was the theme of the vessel, “Heroes & Villains.”

As such, the filigree artwork for the bow will be of Minnie Mouse wearing a superhero-style outfit complete with a cape.

The cruise line said among the characters from which it will mine features on board will be classic Disney animation films, “The Lion King,” “Hercules” and “One Hundred and One Dalmatians.”

Disney of course owns plenty of good vs. evil intellectual property including Star Wars and Marvel.

“The Disney Destiny will celebrate our most legendary Disney stories and characters, bringing them to life in new and exciting ways exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests,” said Sharon Siskie, senior vice president and general manager for the cruise line, in a press release. “As we continue to expand our fleet, the Disney Destiny will further strengthen our position as a leader in family cruising.”

Just like Disney Wish and Treasure, Disney Destiny will be powered by liquefied natural gas, a cleaner burning fuel that’s part of the cruise industry’s efforts to reduce emissions.

All three are the 144,000 gross-ton, 1,254-stateroom vessels but still targeting the 4,000-passenger capacity of its older ships, 2011’s Disney Dream and 2012’s Fantasy. The line’s first ships are the smaller Disney Magic that debuted in 1998 and Disney Wonder in 1999. They come in at 84,000 gross tons with 875 staterooms.

The line also is finishing construction for an Asia-bound cruise ship named Disney Adventure that will be the largest in the fleet at 208,000 gross tons.

Disney Wish became the line’s first new ship in more than a decade. It continues to do short three- and four-night Bahamas sailings while Disney Treasure will pick up seven-night trips to the Caribbean.
