Disney Cruise Line invites families to explore culturally rich and exotic locales with Port Adventures like only Disney can do during its 2016 Norwegian Fjords sailings.
Beginning May 29, the Disney Magic returns to Europe, including itineraries visiting the Norwegian Fjords and Iceland. Guests exploring these ports will be treated to richly diverse destinations that showcase iconic locations, enchanting cultures, tantalizing cuisine and unrivaled experiences.
To enhance guests’ experiences while at port, Disney Cruise Line Port Adventures are designed to entertain and inspire both children and adults—in true Disney fashion—with an extra dash of pixie dust.
“Frozen” Festivities and Viking Ventures in Ålesund
Disney Cruise Line guests join Anna, Elsa and Kristoff from the animated hit “Frozen” in Ålesund, the land that inspired their story. Only Disney guests are invited to a Norwegian summer celebration at the Sunnmøre Open Air Museum where the festivities culminate with the grand arrival of the beloved sisters and their ice-loving companion, who join in the lively revelry. After being personally greeted by their “Frozen” friends, and surrounded by the idyllic beauty of Norway, guests dance to local musicians and sample tasty Norwegian specialties, including svele, a traditional sweet pancake from the region.
Another Ålesund adventure exclusive to Disney Cruise Line includes a quest to a Viking village on the island of Giske, where guests head back in history to meet the village chieftain and experience the Viking world. Adventurers find themselves in the middle of daily Viking life and mingle with members of the Norse families, experiencing first-hand the traditions, authentic food and games that come with being a Viking. Guests also learn traditional Viking handiwork and put it to practice by crafting their own leather bags.
