In 2026, Adventures by Disney will set sail on an all-new river cruise itinerary that will aim to “awaken your senses” as guests travel through southern France.
Adventures by Disney Provence River Cruise 2026
Announced via Disney Parks Blog, the new itinerary is designed to “ignite your senses and create unforgettable memories.”
The organized adventure will be a total of eight days, beginning in Lyon and sailing through towns in the Rhône River Valley to Provence. During the trip, there will be interactive experiences designed to “captivate and inspire” guests while traveling throughout the areas of Tournon, Viviers, Avignon, and Arles.
“Feel” History Beneath Your Feet
In Avignon, guests can embark on a VIP-access climb to the top of Pont du Gard. There will also be an option to take in the views of the ancient columns from a kayak along the River Gardon. Additionally, the Musée du Gard allows a view into the daily life of those who once lived in the nearby ancient Roman area of Nîmes by viewing exhibits and artifacts from the area.
Savor the “Flavors” and “Scents” of Southern France
Guests will also be able to sample France’s finest cuisine. Adults have the opportunity to taste local wines, including samples from Châteauneuf-de-Pape vineyards. Younger guests can also enjoy food samplings and activities that will be tailored for them. In Lyon, the “Junior Adventurers” can partake in their own guided food tour that includes storytelling inspired by the film “Ratatouille.”
Feast Your Eyes on the Beautiful “Sights” of Provence
The region of Provence has inspired many well-known artists such as Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh, and guests can visit St. Paul de Mausole, where van Gogh created over 250 pieces of art. The town of St. Remy was the setting for his famous painting “The Starry Night.” The Rhône River will also be a sight for guests to take in as it winds throughout the landscape.
“Hear” Sounds and Stories from the Past
Guests can journey along the Vivarais Railway as they climb aboard the historic steam-powered Train de l’Ardèche. The Adventure Guides also provide masterful storytelling along with local guides to create a one-of-a-kind experience.
