Disney Mediterranean Cruise Guide
By: Author Kristi
If you have kids and are looking for a great way to see parts of Europe with them, you should consider taking a Disney Mediterranean Cruise. Disney Cruise Line knows how to cater to families who love to travel and have great itineraries to allow you to see many different destinations on one trip!
7 Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona
Disney Cruise Line has both 5 and 7 Night Mediterranean Cruises that take you on a voyage to several countries.
In my opinion, it is one of the best ways to see many different places in a week.
Currently, the ships slated to make these Mediterranean Cruises are the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy .
We’ve taken the 7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona and have to say that it was one of my family’s most favorite vacations ever.
Here are the ports of call that we were able to experience:
Barcelona, Spain
Your trip will start (and probably end) in Barcelona so you will want to make sure that you schedule some time here before (or after your stay) so you can fully take in this amazing city.
We usually spend 2-3 days in Barcelona when we go.
The Barcelona Cruise Port is one of the largest in the Mediterranean.
You will find that there are many ships coming into the Barcelona cruise ship port at the same time.
This can make debarkation a little chaotic if you don’t know what you are doing or where to go.
Many people book a Barcelona Cruise excursion ahead of time, but if you don’t, you won’t have a hard time finding things to do on your own.
Getting to the city of Barcelona from the Cruise port is about a 15-minute walk.
Taking a taxi is the easiest way to get to Barcelona from the cruise terminals, but it can be also the most expensive way as well.
Another option to get into the city is the Port Bus.
This is a bus service that goes back and forth between the Cruise Terminals at the Adossat Quay & Columbus Monument that only works whenever cruises are arriving to Barcelona.
A one-way ticket costs about 3€.
5 Top Things to See in Barcelona
- La Rambla. These tree lined streets are like an open air market and pedestrian area. You can easily grab dinner, see street performers, and do a little shopping all in one stop.
- Sagrada Familia. Probably one of the most beautiful cathedrals you will ever see. This magnificent church has been a work in progress since 1882. Designed by Antoni Gaudí, this Gothic Basilica is in the shape of a Latin cross and is filled with beautiful biblical imagery both inside & out.
- Park Guell. Sitting high atop the city is a picturesque park designed by Antoni Gaudí. Plan for lots of walking up hill, but the view and the beautiful architecture will be well worth it!
- Museu Picasso. This museum houses one of the most extensive collections of Picasso’s art. You will see the progression of his art from his youth, through his cubist period and beyond. If you can go on a Sunday do (it’s FREE on Sundays).
- Columbus Monument. While not the most amazing of sites in Barcelona, Americans will find value in this statue of the man who is noted historically for his trip across the Atlantic to the Americas. The statue is located at the site where Columbus returned to Spain after his first voyage.
Naples (& Pompeii), Italy
On this cruise, you will spend a lot of time in Italy, but each port you stop at will be different.
While you will port in Naples and can spend time there, we chose to do an excursion through Disney Cruise Line that allowed us to visit both Pompeii and Sorrento.
Having visited Naples before, I have to say that my honest opinion is that the day is better spent visiting Pompeii and/or the Amalfi Coast.
Our Disney Cruise excursion took us by bus to Pompeii where we had a guided tour then on to Sorrento where we visited a local farm where we had lunch and learned how to make Mozzarella.
The excursion also allowed us our own time to explore Sorrento.
If you do choose to do Naples & Pompeii on your own, it is easily doable. It is about a 10-minute walk from the cruise port into Naples.
From there, you can see many of the major sites on your own and take the train to Pompeii or Herculaneum.
If you are visiting Pompeii with the kids, I think you should be prepared to see a lot of sexually explicit items in the market just outside of the Pompeii Archeological site. The vendors will be selling everything from calendars to posters featuring visuals of corpses in sexual poses.
Civitavechhia (Rome), Italy
When you travel to Rome on a Disney Cruise, you actually dock in Civitavecchia so you will need to find a way to get into the Rome city center.
Disney offers several cruise excursion options, and some buses and taxis will take you into Rome.
We decided that we wanted someone to actually take us from places to place instead of relying on buses and walking so we did a semi private tour.
This was nice for us because we were able to go in with another family (so a total of 8 people) for a MUCH CHEAPER rate than any of the bigger tours (through Disney or elsewhere) were charging (I’m talking 50% less).
We had a van with a driver (who spoke good English) and were able to pretty much plan our day according to what we wanted to see.
We were able to visit The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Colosseum, Forum and the Vatican.
I would not have done it any other way!
If you are planning to see Rome on your own, you are going to want to make sure that you aren’t stuck standing in lines all day.
Buy whatever attraction tickets you can in advance. This can save you not only time but money!
Most of the places you visit in Rome will have an audio tour option. Typically, they are also in a separate line.
Opt out of the audio tour and use the FREE Rick Steve downloads instead. One of the best ones is for the Roman Forum.
Livorno (Florence, Pisa), Italy
When visiting Livorno, you will need to choose between visiting Florence and Pisa. You can do both, but in my opinion, it is not ideal.
This is because you don’t really get enough time in Florence and you don’t get to go inside the Uffizi which I think is an important museum to see.
On our Disney Mediterranean Cruise to Livorno, we chose to spend the day in Florence on our own. There are guided tour options, but since everything is centrally located and we didn’t want to be on someone else’s schedule, we did it alone.
We began our day trip to Florence in the heart of Florence.
This is where you will find such important sites as Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral (Duomo), Giotto’s Bell Tower, Baptistery of St. John and Museo dell’Opera del Duomo.
We stopped for lunch at a local restaurant before heading on to see the local squares and the Uffizi.
From the Uffizi balcony, you get a beautiful view of the Ponte Vecchio bridge.
Villefranche (Monaco & Monte Carlo / Nice), France
Located on the French Riviera, this region includes Monte Carlo, Cannes, and Nice.
We choose to go on our own cruise excursion from Villefranche to Nice, Monte Carlo and Monaco.
There are two ways to get from Villefranche to Nice: Train or Bus.
Bus Trip from Villefranche to Nice
If you choose to take the bus from Villefranche to Nice, it will take about 15 minutes.
Once the tender brings you inland, walk up the hill to the bus stop. You will take Bus 100. This is a popular thing to do, so expect that you might have to wait for more than once bus. Buses run every 15 mins or so.
You purchase bus fare on the bus. Make sure you have Euros.
On the return trip, the bus is even more full and can take quite some time to make the journey back. You may want to take the train.
Train Trip from Villefranche to Nice
Just a 10-minute walk from where the tender lands, the train is the fastest way to get to Nice from Villefranche if the trains are running.
Be sure to check to make sure that they are not on strike (as this is known to happen quite a bit in France).
You can purchase your ticket at the train station. It is about 2 Euro each way. You will get off at the Nice Ville station and walk the rest of the way into Old Town.
Once in Nice, take the Little Train Tour which takes you to see the most important landmarks as well as gets you to Monaco to see the Prince’s Palace at the top of Castle Hill.
It takes all the planning out of your trip and because of the audio guide, you will learn as you go.
The views from atop Castle Hill are stunning.
There are plenty of places to sit and observe the beauty of this region of France!
Going from Nice to Monte Carlo
The bus ride from Nice to Monte Carlo (Bus #100) is a wonderful way to see the scenery. At only 1.50€ each way, you are going to find this the cheapest way to get around.
Here you will be able to see The Monaco Grand Prix .
You can almost picture the cars zooming through these narrow hilly and quite curvy roads. I have no idea how they do it!
Because it is so hilly, you might want to take a local bus to get from one end of the town to the other. Tickets cost 2€ and can be purchased from the driver. Tickets are good for 30 minutes.
One of the sights you will want to see is the Monte Carlo Casino.
If you are without children, you can go inside and check it out or take your chances and play the tables. Those with kids can go no further than the foot of the stairs.
If you are looking to do some shopping, Monaco has many upscale shops and stores. Be aware that those will be closed on Sundays.
Tip: As you know if you’ve traveled to France, bathrooms are hard to find. You can find bathrooms in train stations and you will find there are places like Burger King on Jean Medecin Avenue where you can buy a soda and use a clean bathroom for free.
Things to Know about Mediterranean Cruise Excursions
Local currency.
The currency in all ports of call on a Mediterranean cruise will be the Euro. There are 8 Euro Coins and 7 different Euro banknotes.
While you can charge everything to your room while on the ship, you will want to make sure you get plenty of Euros prior to your trip for your excursions.
You can use the exchange services on the ship (as well as at most airports, ports of call ATMs, and European banks) BUT you will want to make sure you get the biggest bang for your buck.
European exchange rates vary and fluctuate. Find the best deal you can prior to your cruise and get more than you think you will need.
Also, whether you plan to withdrawal Euros from a Credit Card while in Europe or not, make sure you know your PIN code just in case.
We had no idea what our pin code was and it caused us an unneeded headache when we needed more Euros.
Be prepared to be up early. Disney Cruise Line excursions seem to get priority in leaving the ship.
In Villefranche, it can take up to one hour to leave the ship because you have to terry off the ship by small boats.
If you are doing a non-Disney or on your own excursion, plan accordingly.
We did both Disney and Non-Disney excursions on our Disney Mediterranean Cruise. I do suggest you do your homework.
Excursions will not wait for you, so be sure that you are on time!
You will pay more for Disney excursions than you will if you book private tours, but you are guaranteed that Disney won’t leave you if your excursion runs late (traffic is an issue in some ports of call).
We did both Disney and non-Disney and I’m glad we did!
Language Barrier
You don’t need to speak Spanish, French or Italian.
We found that everyone we met spoke English, so it made communication very easy.
I was really hoping to use some of the Spanish I’ve mastered, but I hardly ever had the chance.
Dress Appropriately
If you plan on visiting houses of worship or other religious locations, you should make sure that your knees and shoulders are covered.
Wear comfortable shoes. For me, it was Skechers Go Walk Shoes. These are my go-to shoes and I swear by them. I did see others wearing them too!
The kids love their Keen Newport H2 Shoes. They are flexible, breathe and keep their toes covered.
Best part is that no one got blisters or complained about how uncomfortable their shoes were.
Pack Smart for Excursions
Create a Mediterranean Cruise packing list and make sure you think about things you might need when you leave the ship.
Bring a money belt or small purse that can be carried across the body.
My husband carried the money belt (you will need to carry Passports with you and this is the safest way).
Make copies of your passport to keep on the ship.
I carried a small Vera Bradley Hipster Purse that held my small incidentals like phone and sunglasses. We also had a backpack for souvenirs, hats, sunblock and such.
Be Prepared
Most of your lunches will be on your own. If you sit down in a restaurant, you will pay more than if you take it to go.
There is no tap water. If you want water, you will have to pay for it.
Bottled water is cheapest~ 1-2 euros at small convenience stores (located just about everywhere).
You’ll pay twice as much (same as a soda) in a restaurant.
They serve both sparkling and “water natural” which is regular bottled water, so know what you are ordering.
Gratuities are generally already included in your bill at sit down restaurants.
Bathrooms are not always free, clean or big. Those with small children (or bladders) will want to know where “toilets” can be found while out and about.
Keep small change with you in case they charge a fee.
Bring a stack of napkins to dry your hands because most do not have ANY paper towels for when you wash your hands.
More about the Mediterranean Ports:
- If you plan on staying extra days in Europe prior or post cruise, be sure to get at least one converter for your electronics.
- Trains are unpredictable. They will stop for no reason and can cause your trip to be off schedule.
- Pickpockets will look just like you. Be wary of strangers and never ask one to take your picture. You might never see your camera again.
- If you are handed a small card asking for money, don’t take the card. They will want it back… with some money.
- Our go to book was Rick Steve’s Mediterranean Cruise Ports. I carried it with us to every stop we made and found it very informative!
Disney Mediterranean Cruise Ship
- The Mediterranean Cruise itself is just like any other cruise you would take with Disney. Same great staff, onboard activities, accommodations and food.
- Disney Characters will be dressed up in costumes based on port! Great photo opportunities.
- There is one formal night (not all that formal, really) and a pirate night followed by fireworks.
- They have movies in English and Spanish. Be sure to know which one you are going to (this information will be on your Disney Navigator App! The theater is small, so get there early. Movies fill up fast, especially first-run movies. I’m talking, about people sitting on the stairs. Yes, it is that packed and they do not allow you to save seats.
- Pack smart. Bring only what you need. Vary your luggage. We heard stories of airlines losing all luggage (those out of Heathrow were the worst), so make sure you have items like your camera, electronics, medications, and basic clothing in your carry-ons.
- There are laundry rooms on the ship so you can wash your items as needed.
- Disney Cruise Line provides shampoo, conditioner, and body wash along with body lotion in your stateroom bathrooms.
- There will be a hairdryer in a desk drawer.
- There are 2 FREE Disney Cruise Line postcards in the desk. Stamps can be found at post offices (and some convenience stores) at each port of call.
We had a fabulous time on our Disney Mediterranean Cruise! What questions do you have about sailing to Europe with Disney?

Disney 7-Day Western Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona
By: Author Kristi
Wondering what you can expect while taking a Disney 7-Day Western Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona? We’ve taken two different Western Mediterranean cruises and I have to say that if you are traveling with kids, Disney is the way to go.
Disney 7-Day Western Mediterranean Cruise Itinerary
During your Disney Western Mediterranean Cruise, you will leave out of Barcelona and travel to at least 3 different countries.
Those planning a Mediterranean Cruise might be wondering what they can expect to see on some of the more popular ports of call. These are the top 5 Mediterranean Cruise destinations.
Barcelona, Spain
Home to one of the largest ports in all of Europe, Barcelona is often the starting or ending point of a Mediterranean cruise.
Villefranche, France (Monaco & Monte Carlo / Nice),
Monaco is the perfect day trip when you want to see the best of the French Riviera. Spend a day on the beach or taking in all the sites!
Civitavecchia, Italy (Rome & Vatican)
There is so much you will want to see while in Rome! Here is how to see the most popular attractions in Rome when all you have is one day!
La Spezia, Italy (Florence, Pisa)
With just one day at Port, you might be torn between Florence and Pisa. Choose Florence and you will never regret seeing this amazing city!
Naples, Italy (Pompeii)
While it is possible to visit Naples and Pompeii in one day, don't count out visiting Sorrento. Maybe you can find a excursion to take you to all three in one day!
Why Choose Disney Cruise Line?
If you are taking a Mediterranean Cruise with kids, there is no better cruise line than Disney. They really make traveling as a family effortless.
Here are some of the things you will be able to enjoy:
Disney Entertainment
Family entertainment is phenomenal on a Disney Cruise. Each evening, you will be able to enjoy a Broadway-style live show.
In addition to shows, there are daily Character meet & greets where characters wear themed costumes based on the port city.
You can even enjoy the latest Disney movies, some in digital 3-D.
Enjoy several different Disney-themed pool areas.
The main pool even features a large screen that plays Disney movies throughout the day!
Depending on which Disney Cruise ship you are traveling on, you might find a waterslide feature!
One of the best things about traveling with Disney is that food & beverages (non-alcoholic) are included in your cruise fare.
There are several quick-service dining options as well as table-service restaurants that change each night!
The restaurants on board typically feature entertainment as well as a delicious 3-course meal.
Disney Kid Clubs
All Disney Cruise Line youth activities are supervised by specially trained counselors.
- Small World Nursery: Infants and toddlers (up to 3 years old) are cared for and entertained with toys, books, crafts and games.
- Disney’s Oceaneer Club and Disney’s Oceaneer Lab (ages 3-12) allow kids to fully immerse themselves in imaginative play.
- Edge Club for Tweens (ages 11-14) can enjoy video games, a multitude of hi-tech entertainment arts and movies.
- Vibe (ages 14-17) is a place for kids to hang out while listening to music, watching the large-screen TVs, playing games and enjoying snacks.
Packing for a 7-Day Western Mediterranean Cruise
Wondering what you should pack for your trip?
We have a great Mediterranean Cruise packing list you should read.
The key is to make sure you don’t over-pack. There is a self-serve laundry facility on board the ship, so if you need to wash clothes, you can!
Booking a Disney Mediterranean Cruise
When you are booking your cruise the way to get the best price is to book as soon as possible. The closer you get to the embarkation date, the more expensive the cruise will become.
Why I don’t always think it is a must to get a room with a view, for a Disney Mediterranean Cruise, I think the view is so worth the extra cost.
Do your homework on Disney Cruise Staterooms so you know which one is best for your family to be in for 7 nights!
Looking for the best price? Aren’t we all?
We use Expedia to find the best prices for Disney Cruises, including when we take a Disney Mediterranean Cruise.

7-Night Mediterranean Cruise from Barcelona - Cannes (Monte Carlo, Nice), France
Experience the famed streets of Barcelona before or after you cast off to must-see Mediterranean ports of call in France and Italy. Explore cultural treasures, view Renaissance masters, walk in the footsteps of the ancients and take in the pleasures of seaside cafes and golden beaches.

About Disney Fantasy
Building on the classic style of the previous 2 ships, the Disney Magic and the Disney Wonder, and taking queues from her sister ship the Disney Dream the Disney Fantasy is a valiant vessel distinguished for its classic early 20th-century design—which harkens back to the golden age of cruising—and state-of-the-art technology. As can be expected from Disney, the cruise liner was specially designed with families in mind, combining sleek style and convenient facilities with splashes of magic and cruise-industry firsts—like the splashtacular AquaDuck, the very first water coaster at sea.
Only the Disney Cruise Line offers fun-filled activities and experiences for cruisers of all ages, favorite Disney Characters in Broadway-style shows, dining at extraordinary eateries, fabulous family-size staterooms, a private island paradise, and amenities and service that define Disney.
Activities for all ages
Find fun for all with delightful Disney-style activities designed for every age group. Your kids can play with new friends, you can enjoy adult-only activities, or you can all enjoy quality family-together time.
Castaway Cay
Discover Disney's perfect private paradise — for kids and teens, it's Never Land; for adults, it's Shangri-La. Step off the ship and you know, instantly, you've arrived at a magical place.
Rotational Dining
Experience savory worlds that could only have been designed by Disney. Gather together to share stories of your day as you "rotate" each night through three uniquely themed restaurants with distinctive cuisine — always staffed with your own personal servers who know and anticipate your tastes.
Family-sized Staterooms
Stretch out in a Disney stateroom, designed with the family in mind. Delight in substantially more space for relaxation than you'd find on most other cruise ships. Discover split baths, ample storage, natural woods, imported tiles and superior attention to detail in your home away from home.

Disney Dream - May 25, 2024
May 25, 2024.
May 25th - Jun 1st
Disney Dream
Disney Cruise Line
7 Night Western Mediterranean
from Barcelona, Spain
The May 25, 2024 cruise on the Disney Dream departs from Barcelona, Spain. On this 7 Night Western Mediterranean (Barcelona Roundtrip) sailing, the ship will visit a total of 5 different cruise port destinations, including its departure port. The Disney Dream sets sail on Saturday, May 25th and returns on Saturday, Jun 1st.
Disney Dream - May 25, 2024 - 7 Nights
The Disney Dream was built in 2011 and is among Disney's 6 ships in its fleet. The Disney Dream is included in the cruise line's Dream class. In the cruise ship stats below, you'll find the Disney Dream vs all other Disney ships.
Barcelona is the cultural heartland of Spain, yet its first language is Catalan, the native tongue of the proudly independent Catalonia region. Stroll down the shady, tree-lined Ramblas between street musicians and elegant bistros. Then perhaps visit the venerable Gothic cathedral, Picasso Museum or enjoy the architectural genius of Antonio Gaudi's Church of the Holy Family.
Take advantage of the many on board activites during your day at sea. You'll have more than enough to fill your day!
Once regarded as Europe's grandest, most beautiful city, Palermo is still quite impressive. The Four Corners of Palermo, where each 17th-century Spanish Baroque facade is adorned with a statue, is one of the city's most memorable sights. The Fontana Pretoria, often called the Fountain of Shame because of its nude Florentine figures, is also worth noting. Tour the famous Norman Cathedral and Capuchin catacombs.
One of the most spectacular bays in the world lies in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius. Visit the San Carlo Opera House and the cathedral of San Janarious, or tour the ancient ruins in the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Civitavecchia is just moments from Rome, Italy's Eternal City. One of the most geographically perfect ports in the world, Civitavecchia boasts a number of compelling area attractions. Stroll through the streets of the medieval town of Tarquinia. View the resplendent Madonnina at the Resort of Pantano.
From Livorno, your path leads through the rolling green hills of Tuscany to Florence, the flower of the Renaissance. The creative explosion happened right here, with masterworks by Michelangelo, Brunelleschi and Botticelli now landmarks of daily life. Ufizzi, Academmia, il Duomo: the art treasures of a golden age are commonplace to blessed Florentines. Livorno also serves as the gateway to Pisa, home of the famous leaning tower.

Barcelona Cruise Guide
Cruising the Mediterranean and Beyond
Disney Cruises From Barcelona
Barcelona isn’t the first departure port you think of when you think about a Disney cruise, but they are offering a handful of cruises this summer to the Mediterranean and western Europe. Kind of like having Disney Magic do a short tour of southern Europe.
Disney Mediterranean Cruises
After arriving in Barcelona in May, it has five 5-7 day cruises to the western Mediterranean. These are all round-trip voyages, beginning and ending in Barcelona.
You also go along for the ride as Disney Magic moves from Miami to Barcelona, on a 13-night eastbound transatlantic cruise that leaves Miami on May 8, 2022.
One-Way Disney Cruises From Barcelona
In addition to the round-trippers, there are a couple of cruises that begin in Barcelona but end elsewhere: one in Rome and the other at the port of Dover in England.
The cruise to Rome (actually, the nearby port of Civitavecchia) departs on June 4, 2022 on a 6-night trip. It makes stops at Villefrance (near Monte Carlo and Nice), Genoa (near Milan), Livorno (not too far from both Florence and Pisa) and Naples.
The cruise to Dover takes 7-nights and will leave Barcelona on July 23, 2022. Ports of call include Cartagena, Spain; Porto, Portugal, La Coruna, Spain; and Bilbao, Spain.

What Should a Disney Cruise First Timer Know Before they Sail?
Disney Mediterranean Cruise 2024
The Disney Cruises for Summer 2024 have not yet been released. It is highly likely that there will be Disney Mediterranean Cruises in 2024.
Which Disney ship will sail to the Mediterranean in 2024? No one can confirm anything until the sailings have been released, but my guess is that the Disney Dream will sail to Europe again in 2024.

Disadvantages: Who It Might Not Suit
While 7-night cruises are popular, they may not be ideal for everyone:
- Travelers with limited vacation time
- Those on a tight budget (shorter cruises are generally less expensive)
- People prone to seasickness or claustrophobia
- Individuals who prefer a more fast-paced, port-intensive itinerary
- Those who aren’t fans of structured entertainment or cruise ship environments
Is a 7-Night Disney Cruise Too Long?
For most guests, a week-long cruise hits the sweet spot. Here’s why:
- Ample Time to Unwind : The first day or two allows you to decompress, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the cruise
- Multiple Port Experiences : Visit 3-4 destinations without feeling rushed
- Opportunity to Try Everything : From specialty dining to adult-only areas, you can experience it all
- Better Value : Often more cost-effective per night than shorter cruises
- Flexible Pace : Enjoy busy days and relaxed ones without missing out
Even though most travelers don’t think a week-long cruise is too long , you might personally feel that a shorter voyage is the best cruise duration for your family. If that’s the case, consider a 3-night Disney Cruise or a 4-night Disney Cruise . If you want more information about shorter voyages, check out our guide to the Shortest Disney Cruises . You can also see our articles comparing 3-night vs 4-night cruises and 4-night vs 7-night cruises .
Could a 7-Night Disney Cruise Be Too Short?
For some travelers, even a week might not be enough. Consider a longer cruise if:
- You’re combining multiple destinations (like Mediterranean and Greek Isles)
- You want to fully explore each port without feeling rushed
- You’re traveling from far away and want to maximize your time at sea
- You enjoy sea days and want more time to relax between port visits
- You’re celebrating a special occasion and want an extended escape
Remember, the ideal cruise length depends on your personal preferences, budget, and vacation goals. The Vacationeer can help you determine the best option for your needs.
