Creator's Key Takeaways

We're your co-hosts, Dana Mccel, and we are your cruise experts and the co-founders of Sometimes Sailing, a website that focuses on small ship cruising.

We would absolutely do this cruise again. In fact, I hope we get a chance to repeat it as a family.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book an Adventures by Disney river cruise for a family-friendly, all-inclusive experience with unique excursions.
โœ“Consider the salt mines excursion in Salzburg for a memorable, educational, and fun activity.
โœ“For families with three people, book one cabin as ABD allows three in a room, saving on cost.
โœ“If traveling with teenagers, book two rooms as they need separate accommodations.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Room size on river cruises is smaller than expected โ€” Rooms are efficiently designed but smaller; spend time in the lounge instead of the cabin.
Minimum age for Adventures by Disney is five, with recommended age of eight โ€” It's not for toddlers or babies; better for older elementary and up.
