Disney Cruises announces first UK sailing holiday - including stop in Scotland

Disney has announced plans for an incredible line-up of cruises for 2023 - including a seven-night trip around the British Isles which stops off in Scotland.

The Disney Dream ship will set sail from Southampton before stopping off at Belfast, Greenock, Liverpool, Cork, and Portland on its British Isles Tour, due to set sail on September 10, 2023.

Next year will be the first time that the Disney cruises have run in Europe, with several other sea voyages also available to book in the summer, HullLive reports.

The Disney Cruise website promises "larger-than-life thrills and heartwarming magic" on the trips, with "world-class entertainment, gourmet dining and the award-winning attention to detail you’ve come to expect from Disney".

Another trip due to set sail from Southampton in July is a 10-night tour of Iceland, Norway and France, which ends in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Two more cruises are set to depart from the UK next August, with a four-day trip to Spain or France available from Southampton.

There are also two Norwegian Fjords cruises sailing from Southampton in August and September, with the latter also stopping off in Northern France.

A luxury 11-night cruise of Northern Europe which sets sail from Copenhagen will take passengers to Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium, before ending in Southampton.

Another cruise finishing in Southampton is the seven-night Western Europe tour, which begins in Spain before sailing off to Portugal and France.

Sharon Siskie, senior vice president & general manager of Disney Cruise Line, said: "We are thrilled to have five ships at sea in summer 2023 with a wide array of destinations for families to enjoy.

"These Disney Cruise Line sailings will take families on summer adventures in ways that only Disney can do, delighting guests of all ages with dazzling entertainment, world-class dining, unique character encounters, the ease and indulgence of carefree days at sea and the uncompromising guest service that defines a Disney vacation."

Disney Cruises is also offering Mediterranean trips next year, with three covering the Greek Isles, as well as tours around the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Alaska.

The dates for the cruises are yet to be fully confirmed, but the British Isles voyage is currently advertised on the Disney Cruises website as £3,289 for two guests.

Tickets will go on general sale on May 9, with advanced ticket sales available from May 2.
