When it comes to an Adventures by Disney vacation, everyone is a kid at heart. So many adults have grown up enchanted by the Magic of Disney. Many would prefer and adult style Disney vacation without kids.

"Grown up" Disney Fans will love AmaWaterways and Adventures by Disney that are adult only sailings. In 2018, there will be even more  adult only sailings inspired by the ever popular Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.  These sailings are strictly adults over the age of 18. Guests  will enjoy culinary experiences...

  • Discover wine tasting and blending during vineyard tours and onboard seminars by a Master Sommelier.
  • Explore Authentic dishes of Europe during intimate gourmet demonstrations of culinary mastery and history.
  • Stroll through charming villages on a guided walking tour that incorporates local gastronomic delights.
  • Discover the art of the Strasbourg specialty, tart flambé, during an interactive class, complete with local beer and Alsatian wine pairings.
  • Create French patisserie class in Strasbourg.
  • Explore German vineyards and visit festive pubs while sampling the hearty cuisine of the region.
  • Tour the Heineken Factory, savor a special caramel waffle demonstration and learn how to blend craft cocktails during a private workshop in Amsterdam.

In addition,  Adventures by Disney will offer six Danube sailings aboard AmaViola. The Danube sailings stop in four countries—Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary—and all include a stop in Salzburg to revisit scenes from “The Sound of Music,” along with a visit to Devin Castle in Bratislava.  There is a special sailing of this itinerary in September 2018 for an adult-only Oktoberfest which will include theme parties onboard.
