Beginning in 2026, guests with an eye for majestic landscapes, a taste for ancient architecture and an affinity for Disney inspirations will have even more ways to experience real-world magic with Adventures by Disney on two, brand-new itineraries – Switzerland, and Greece: Mythology of Athens, Peloponnese & Rhodes – adding to a global portfolio of more than 40 guided-group adventures by land and river cruise.

Each departure will be led by Disney-trained Adventure Guides so every detail is seamless and every moment unforgettable. Young travelers, or “Junior Adventurers,” also will have unique opportunities of their own with special activities designed just for them, allowing every member of the family the opportunity to create their own memories on an incredible vacation like no other.

In addition to the below details, an on-demand webcast is now available on the College of Disney Knowledge.

Switzerland

Walt Disney and his wife Lillian enjoyed many summer holidays in Switzerland, where they fell in love with the landscape, its people and the stories from mountain-side villages and lakefront towns. This fondness can be seen through many of Walt’s creations, from films to Disneyland Resort’s Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction. This breathtaking, eight-day itinerary is full of some of the charming villages and scenery that inspired Walt, along with culinary delights that will ignite the adventurous spirit inside each guest.

Highlights include:

• Hitting the trails on an alpine hike with the majestic Matterhorn as the backdrop – the inspiration behind Disneyland Resort’s famed Matterhorn Bobsleds attraction.
• Savoring authentic Swiss delights, including delectable Gruyère cheeses, luscious fondue and specialty chocolates in a Swiss chocolate-making workshop.
• Experiencing a fairytale setting come to life on a privately guided tour of the dreamy lakeside medieval castle, Château de Chillon.
• Taking in the scenic wonders of the turquoise blue Lake Brienz by kayaking, swimming or relaxing on the shoreline at a charming lakeside chalet.
• Enjoying a special after-hours event at the Olympic Museum, home of the largest archive of Olympic Games memorabilia in the world, some of which helped inspire Disney Parks’ famed Pin Trading tradition. 

Adventures by Disney will offer nine Switzerland departures in 2026, comprised of six family departures and three departures exclusively for adults.

Greece: Mythology of Athens, Peloponnese & Rhodes

Greece is well known for its ancient architecture, cuisine and mythology – celebrating the gods, goddesses and heroic legends who helped to inspire them all. This immersive, eight-day adventure will bring to life the stories and wonders of Greek mythology for guests as they discover the origin of the Greek influences that inspired Disney animated classics like “Hercules,” “The Little Mermaid” and “Fantasia,” with visits to landmark structures, historic sites and magnificent landscapes.

Highlights include:

• Exploring the Acropolis of Athens, a symbol of Greece’s Golden Age and home to the famed Parthenon.
• Journeying through the once-great citadel of Mycenae, the first true Greek civilization and the Epidaurus Theatre – known to be the most perfect Ancient Greek theater.
• Snorkeling and kayaking over the ancient submerged archaeological site of Epidaurus, evoking images of the lost city of Atlantis.
• Enjoying the charming port town of Nafplio, Greece's first capital and a hallmark of its unique culture.
• Visiting the medieval city of Rhodes and the site of Colossus of Rhodes, where a statue of the Greek sun god Helios once stood – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

Adventures by Disney will offer 10 departures in 2026 for Greece: Mythology of Athens, Peloponnese & Rhodes, comprised of six family departures and four departures exclusively for adults.
