Highlights of europe.
Paris, France
The cloud-piercing, wrought-iron Eiffel Tower, broad Arc de Triomphe guarding the glamorous avenue des Champs-Élysées, gargoyled Notre Dame cathedral, lamplit bridges spanning the Seine and art nouveau cafes' wicker-chair-lined terraces are enduring Parisian emblems. It welcomes millions of visitors every year, in reverence of its cityscape, culture and lifestyle. With museums housing impressive collections of artworks and sculptures, cathedrals and churches intricately designed, palaces lavishly decorated and hundreds of parks providing green spaces and tranquillity.
Rome, Italy
The result of 3000 years of development, Rome's cityscape is an exhilarating spectacle. Ancient icons such as the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Pantheon recall the city’s golden age as caput mundi (capital of the world), while its many monumental basilicas testify to its historical role as seat of the Catholic Church. Lording it over the skyline, St Peter’s Basilica is the Vatican’s epic showpiece church, a towering masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. Elsewhere, ornate piazzas and fountains add a baroque flourish to the city's captivating streets.
Spain’s second largest and definitely most cosmopolitan city, and one of the Mediterranean’s busiest ports. Barcelona offers the best of both worlds, situated on the Costa Brava on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, the city gently rises up from the coastline through the city and up into a range of wooded hills. Famous for breaking ground art, Gaudi architecture and a world class food scene; it’s the perfect city to relax, stroll around and enjoy its unique way of life.

Highlights of Europe cruises
Explore Croatia’s Krka National Park
A stone’s throw from historic Split is Krka National Park is a wonderland of waterfalls, gorges and lush forest. Hike the winding trails that zig-zag past plunging waterfalls, or better yet, hop on a small boat to access hidden footpaths and secluded pools.
Sample locally made olive oil in Brac
Explore the history of everyone's favourite cooking staple at an olive oil museum on the gorgeous island of Brac, the longest island in central Dalmatia. Taste some of the locally made olive oil with some fresh, local produce and then spend an afternoon exploring the white-pebbled beaches.
Cruise the Neretva River with good tunes and good food
Board smaller boats for a leisurely cruise along the wetlands surrounding Opuzen. Then, arrive at a local restaurant overlooking the water and tuck into a traditional lunch of local dishes. Good food, good people, good times.
Cool off with refreshing swim stops throughout your cruise
Make a splash on more than one occasion as your captain makes time for plenty of swim stops along the way. Being able to cool off and dive head first into the Adriatic is just one of the many advantages of small ship cruising with us.
Why choose Intrepid
Small ships, small groups
With fewer than 36 passengers on every ship, our groups are the perfect size for really getting to know your fellow travellers. Smaller groups mean more personalised service, like one-on-one chats with your leader about history, culture and food, or your favourite beer handed to you by the bar manager at the end of the day.
Specialised service
We’re right there with you to ensure your adventure is memorable for all the right reasons. Our expert local leaders facilitate incredible land experiences, while the ship’s friendly crew make sure you have everything you need – from a room that’s sparkling clean to a glass of sparkling wine – to enjoy your time on board.
Dining with a local twist
Whether it’s a dining alfresco on the deck at sunset, enjoying the catch-of-the day cooked up by your onboard chef or sitting down for a gourmet breakfast every morning, our culinary experiences are designed to complement your journey and help you create memories you’ll savour forever – both on and off the boat.
Cruise the seas less travelled
Our small ships give you access to those out-of-the-way spots the big ships can’t reach. We’ll show you the guidebook favourites from a new perspective, then cruise away from the crowds so you can stroll through seaside villages, swim in hidden coves, and get a real taste of what life is like for the locals.
A floating boutique hotel
Our ships combine all the comforts and personality of a boutique hotel with the freedom of the open water. Relax in your well-appointed cabin and wake to a different outlook each morning. Enjoy panoramic views from the sun deck, spend time in comfortable lounges and dining rooms, or dine al fresco under the stars.

Australian cruises.
From urban verve to outback wilderness, Australia is a year-round sunny paradise.
A large island nation, Australia delivers the best of both the city and the country, the beach and the bush. The locals here are a laidback and friendly bunch, with a dry sense of humor and their own slang language. Explore cosmopolitan Sydney, home to Bondi Beach's turquoise waters and the architecturally unique Sydney Opera House. Cruise to Australia and visit Queensland to experience the Whitsunday Islands, where you can snorkel to see the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest living organism. For an authentic Australian adventure, head to the outback: Check out Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, with its red dome known as Ayers Rock.

Join the throngs of sun-kissed Australian surfers and catch some of the world's best waves on Australia's beaches.
SWOON OVER SYDNEY
Visit Australia and tour Sydney's urban attractions like the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and Taronga Zoo. For outdoor fun, nap on the white sands of Bondi Beach or scale the magnificent rock formations of the Blue Mountains.
MEET MELBOURNE
Melbourne is a hipster haven and Australia's culture, coffee and sports capital. Grab a flat black (the Australian version of an Americano, with espresso and hot water) at Patricia on Little Bourke Street, then rent a car and start off on the Great Ocean Road, which will take you along sweeping views of Australia's southern coast.
HEAD TO THE OUTBACK
In the remote Northern Territory, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park: See the famous dome-shaped red rock rising out of the Central Australian Desert. Or check out Kakadu National Park, where you can see ancient rock art at Nourlangie or hike to the hidden waterfalls at Motor Car, Twin or Jim Jim Falls.
TOWN AND COUNTRY
Get to know the different sides of Australia, from vibrant, modern cities to wild, untamed wilderness.
KING AMONG REEFS
Snorkel, dive and swim along the Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef — you can even charter a glass-bottomed boat to stay dry while seeing the only living organism visible from outer space. The reef is accessible from places like Cairns, Airlie Beach, Townsville and Port Douglas in Queensland.
In Queensland, take a day trip to the surrounding tropical islands: Check out Fitzroy Island and its National Park, where you can laze on the white sands of the coral beach or go bird-watching for for emerald doves and white-bellied sea eagles. See the colored sands at postcard-perfect Fraser Island, or explore the wild island state of Tasmania during your vacation.
PICK A BEACH
Explore Western Australia's Cape Le Grand National Park, which offers stunning coastline set against rolling heathlands filled with kangaroos. Check out Queensland's Gold Coast, where you'll find local favorite Nobby Beach (known colloquially as "Nobby's"). Or get lost in Tasmania's Freycinet National Park, where pink granite cliffs overlook white-sand beaches and clear blue waves.
EXPEDITIONS DOWN UNDER SAY "G'DAY" TO AN OUTBACK ADVENTURE
Choose your Australian vacation adventure: Relax on a tropical island or one of thousands of beaches, hike in a remote national park or venture into the vibrant city.
SAMPLE SYDNEY
A sampler cruise from Sydney is a great way to experience both Australia's biggest city and an exciting cruise.
BE TANTALIZED BY TASMANIA
Tasmania is an underrated Australian state that's home to Cradle Mountain, the World Heritage-listed Port Arthur Historic Site and the eccentric Museum of Old and New Art among other things to do.
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Arriving in Australia
The best time to visit Australia depends on where you want to go. The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland and the Northern Territory are best explored during dry season (May to September), while summer is the optimal time to visit southern states like Victoria and Tasmania.
Weather-wise, northern Australia enjoys an endless summer, but it does get cold in Victoria and Tasmania during winter. Meanwhile, Melbourne is known for displaying four seasons in one day, so always have a jacket and umbrella on hand, just in case.

10 Best Things To Do in Australia
From Melbourne to Sydney to iconic animal experiences and world-class wine regions, here are the 10 best things to do in Australia.
A Guide to Australian Beaches
Discover the best Australian beaches for families, wildlife spotting, lounging, learning how to surf and diving into authentic beach culture.
In northern Australia, be aware that stingers (dangerous jellyfish) swarm the seas in the summer, from approximately October to March.
Tipping is not customary in Australia.
The universal phone number for taxi services across the country is 131008.
HOW TO DINE DOWN UNDER
"Fair dinkum" — Aussie slang for "authentic" or "genuine" — Australian cuisine has been influenced by England, New Zealand and even Italy. However, there's nothing more Australian than throwing some steak and snags (sausages) on a barbie (barbecue) — no shrimps allowed.
POPULAR PUB GRUB
There are two dishes to order at an Aussie pub: a chicken parmigiana (called a parmi Down Under) or a burger, which will usually come topped with Australian specialties like beetroot or pineapple. Of course, you can always go for a classic steaks: Porterhouses are popular in Victoria, while rump steaks are particularly beloved in New South Wales.
THE REAL BISCUIT
Australia has some delicious sweet treats, but it's perhaps best-known for perfecting the biscuit. Try Anzac biscuits with oats and golden syrup, lamingtons — a sponge square covered in chocolate and coconut — and Tim Tams, the local favorite brand of chocolate-covered biscuits.
IT'S PIE TIME
Meat pies — with a flaky pastry crust baked around a savory filling of ground meat (typically beef or lamb) and spices — are a traditional Australian lunch or snack found in bakeries across the country. Another favorite is the Chiko Roll, similar to a large spring roll but filled with the signature Aussie ingredients of mutton, celery, barley, rice, carrots and spices.
Related Ports
The Australian coast is dotted with beautiful ports, like Esperance, to explore. In Queensland, Cairns and Airlie Beach are both gateways to the Great Barrier Reef. Meanwhile, Darwin is a gateway to the Northern Territory's rugged natural sights, including Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks, and Uluru.

The best cruises in Australia
1. National Geographic Explorer – Kimberley Expedition, Northwest Australia to Indonesia
As the name suggests, this one's for those who like a more intrepid kind of adventure holiday. Live out all your explorer fantasies on this expensive, yet (by the sounds of it) mind-blowing sail from Western Australia to Bali. You'll be on an authentic expedition ship exploring hard-to-reach places. Their fleet of tiny Zodiac boats will take you up close to ancient Indigenous rock art, saltwater crocs and komodo dragons. Plus, you'll get coached by a legit Nat Geo photographer on how to capture your most magazine-worthy shot.
When: May, June and July 2024.
What: 16 days sail from Broome in WA, to WA's remote reefs and islands, to Darwin, to remote islands in the Indonesian archipelago, ending in Bali.

Price: From $14,926 per person.
2. Coral Expeditions – Cairns to Cairns, via Great Barrier Reef
Although not crazy cheap, this intimate Aussie-owned cruise experience is for those who want the ease of seafaring travel, but not the big crowds. With a maximum of 72 people allowed on board their specially designed Coral Discoverer vessel, you can feel good about exploring the rainbow wonders of the Great Barrier Reef over the span of a week. Plus, there's a marine biologist on board.
When: November and December, 2024 and 2025.

Good for: A shorter holiday in the summer break, people who like snorkelling, the outdoors and getting off the beaten track.
Price: From $5,340 per cabin.
3. Carnival Cruises – Sydney or Brisbane to the South Pacific
If you're keen to get way out of town, but don't want to spend your life's savings, consider Carnival Cruises.

When: Annually, 2024 and 2025.

Price: From $706 per cabin.
4. P & O – Brisbane and Whitsundays to Brisbane
The Whitsundays are arguably the most photogenic watery place in Australia, so it makes sense to explore them by sea. If you're short on time and money, P & O Cruises offer you a quick and all-inclusive getaway that won't break your bank. Think tropical reef snorkelling, dazzling blue waters and sugar white sand for your next long weekend.

When: On selected dates throughout 2024 and 2025
What: 1-7 nights sail from either Sydney or Melbourne to Brisbane, Hobart or Noumea.
Good for: Kids, families, serious Disney fans.
Price: From $1,649 per person
6. Celebrity Cruises – Sydney and Melbourne to Eden, Adelaide or Hobart
Despite its rather funny name, Celebrity Cruises is pretty good value for anyone wanting to sail on a short and sweet trip down Australia's east coast. Expect classic cruise fare, but also great prices for an all-inclusive and reasonably luxe trip to the cold, windswept regions of southern Australia. They even have a specific 'Australia Wine' tour, for those who are so inclined.

Price : From $1,002 per person.
7. Royal Carribean Cruises – Sydney to New Zealand
If you're in Sydney and want to get over the ditch to NZ, getting on a cruise could be a fun way to do it. Royal Carribean offers up the kind of all-inclusive gigantic cruise experience that may not be everyone's cup o' tea – but you do get to bop across the high seas to numerous ports on New Zealand's gorgeous coast, and then come back to Sydney again. Essentially, it's good value for what you get, and for how many new places you will get the chance to see.
When : On selected dates in 2024 and 2025.
What : 10-12 night sail from Sydney to special ports, islands and natural wonders all across New Zealand, and then back to Sydney again.
Good for: Travellers who want to see both Australia and New Zealand while they're this far down south, people in a mid-tier budget range, nature lovers, those who enjoy travel efficiency.
Price : From $1,482 per person.

A unique Disney experience: Here's what you can't miss on Disney Cruise Lines
D isney Cruise Line is synonymous with family vacations at sea, so you might think that every Disney cruise in 2024 will be a good choice for families. And having sailed on every one of Disney's cruise ships myself, I can say the simple answer is yes, that's absolutely true. But some Disney cruise experiences hold an extra special place in my family's heart, and they've made me realize that certain Disney cruises can go above and beyond even DCL's usual family-friendly standard.
I'm thinking about when we met Disney’s "Frozen" friends in person on a Norway sailing or laughed to tears over dinner with Crush the Sea Turtle ("cha dude!"), or completed a 5K race with my daughter on Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay . That's why my picks for the best Disney cruises for families in 2024 are all about these kinds of extra special experiences, the ones that aren't just the usual level of Disney cruise line magic but will elevate your family vacation into once-in-a-lifetime "cherished family memory" territory.

There will be no shortage of these kinds of opportunities on Disney Cruise Line (DCL) in 2024. From being among the first to visit Disney's brand-new private island destination to enjoying an immersive Pixar-themed day at sea to setting sail on the maiden voyage of Disney's newest ship , here are the Disney cruise experiences I think will go above and beyond in 2024.
1. Disney Magic to Lighthouse Point, DCL's newest private island destination
One thing my family looks forward to during any Disney cruise is a stop at DCL's private island, Castaway Cay. In 2024, Disney Cruise Line will unveil its second private island destination, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point , on the island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. And I can’t wait to see how they plan to outdo the already incredible Castaway Cay experience.

Similar to when Disney created its Aulani resort in Hawaii , Disney Imagineers have been working with local artists and cultural experts to design an authentic Bahamian island experience at Lighthouse Point. Curvilinear buildings are meant to evoke scattered seashells along the shore, and a Bahamian Art and Culture Pavilion will feature special programs and local artists that celebrate Bahama traditions.
A special preview cruise to Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point on the Disney Magic departs from Fort Lauderdale in June 2024.
2. Alaska and Australia cruises on the Disney Wonder in 2024
When my youngest daughter graduated from high school, my wife and I asked where she wanted to go for our family vacation to celebrate her milestone . Her top choice was Alaska. In the summer months, Disney Cruise Line positions one of its smaller ships, the Disney Wonder, out west so families can take weeklong sailings from Vancouver to the "Last Frontier." Along the way, you can experience majestic wildlife and stunning scenery while calling on Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, and glacier viewing along the Stikine Icecap.

But that's not all the Disney Wonder gets up to! In 2023, Disney also began offering Australia and New Zealand cruises onboard the ship, and that will continue in 2023 and 2024. Disney Cruise Line has announced a new season of sailings in the region from October 2024 through February 2025.
The Disney Wonder is one of DCL's original class of ships, and with a capacity of 2,713 passengers, it remains one of the line's most intimate vessels. That's a reason to love it. Both the Wonder and its sister ship, Disney Magic, are especially great Disney cruise options in 2024 if your family is new to cruising . Far from being a drawback, the smaller size makes it less likely to feel overwhelming to first-timers.
3. European vacations on the Disney Dream
In 2023, Disney Cruise Line sent the Disney Dream across the Atlantic for the first time. The ship will head back to Europe in 2024 with summer cruises in the Mediterranean, Greek Isles, British Isles, Iceland, and Norwegian fjords. These are the best 2024 Disney Cruises for experiencing new ports of call like Valencia, Spain; Haugesund, Norway; and Hamburg, Germany, along with three Mediterranean destinations (Catania, Italy; Kusadasi, Turkey; and Valletta, Malta) that Disney will visit for the first time since 2014.

In June, the Disney Dream sails from Civitavecchia (Rome) with stops in Naples and three different Greek Islands, including Mykonos and Crete. In July, the ship transitions to northern European cruises, including a 12-night voyage departing from England (Southampton) on July 24, heading through the Norwegian fjords, three days in Iceland, and an overnight stay in Reykjavik before returning to Southampton.
My family sailed on Disney’s inaugural Norwegian fjords cruise in 2015, and it was hands down our best family vacation because of the Disney-specific experiences no other cruise line can offer, such as Anna and Elsa from "Frozen" posing for pictures at a Norwegian Village museum in Ålesund.
4. Disney Cruise Line's private island trifecta on the Disney Fantasy
Many fans of Disney Cruise Line’s private island get particularly excited when itineraries include a Castaway Cay "double dip," i.e., two stops at Castaway Cay. But in 2024, the Disney Fantasy ventures on a seven-night itinerary that calls on Disney’s private islands not once, not twice, but three times with a stop at Castaway Cay and two visits to the brand-new Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point.

I love Disney’s Castaway Cay and have enjoyed so many relaxing stops to the island. I especially remember learning the "stingray shuffle" and holding stingrays during Castaway Ray's Stingray Adventure. I love that this 2024 Disney cruise will give families plenty of time to explore Disney’s brand-new private island destination on the southernmost tip of Eleuthera without overlooking a day at the old favorite.
5. Disney Wish theme park and cruise vacation
The Disney Wish is DCL's newest ship (for now), debuting in July 2022 and offering three- and four-night cruises to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral, Florida . The close proximity of Port Canaveral to Walt Disney World makes it easy to combine an Orlando theme park vacation with a Disney Cruise.

Disney land and sea vacations are the best of both worlds for families with theme park lovers who want to go, go, go, and other family members looking for a more laidback experience. My advice is to head to the theme parks first, get tired out from the walking, rides, and stimulation, and then sail off on a four-night cruise to decompress. My wife and I enjoyed the most expansive stateroom ever when we sailed on the Disney Wish last summer and it couldn't have been more relaxing.
6. Themed Cruises – Pixar, Marvel, and holidays
In January, I had the opportunity to experience Pixar Day at Sea , Disney Cruise Line’s newest themed cruise, on the Disney Fantasy. In my review for FamilyVacationist, I called it an " overflowing toy box of fun " and I'm excited for more families to experience it on a Disney cruise in 2024. The cruise was packed with so many Pixar character meets, themed-activities, special shows, foods, and treats that some of it spilled into additional days at sea. In 2024, Pixar Day at Sea returns to the Disney Fantasy on seven-night Caribbean sailings from January through March.
Set sail: These 6 cruise lines offer the best themed cruises
Disney's themed cruise days aren't limited to Pixar, either. There's a Marvel Day at Sea on five-night Disney Dream cruises departing Fort Lauderdale from January through March, and when the festive season rolls around most of the ships offer holiday sailings with Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime cruises.
I was so impressed with the Halloween tree in the ship's atrium when my family sailed on a Halloween cruise. Over the course of the cruise, the tree "bloomed" with spooky Jack-o-lanterns. In addition, Disney characters were decked out in costumes, there was trick-or-treating, and other special activities. And of course Very Merrytime cruises have a tree-lighting ceremony, Mickey and Minnie’s Holiday Party, carolers, special drinks and treats, and appearances by the guest of honor for the cruise, Santa Claus.
7. Disney Treasure Sets Course for Adventure
Last but not least, Disney Treasure joins the Disney Cruise Line fleet with its maiden voyage on December 21, 2024. Adventure is the theme for Disney's sixth cruise ship with spaces and entertainment inspired by "Aladdin," "Coco," "Zootopia," "Jungle Cruise," even "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
Before you book: Everything you need to know about river cruises in the U.S.
As a fan of the Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise ride and Skipper Canteen restaurant, I can’t wait to get immersed in the kitschy 1930s adventure vibe onboard the Disney Treasure. The ship will sail seven-night itineraries to the eastern and western Caribbean and have a theater-in-the-round restaurant at the Plaza de Coco as well as a cinematic dining experience at Worlds of Marvel. Because these are longer cruises than those available on DCL's other ship in the same class (Disney Wish), you can experience two distinct shows in each of these venues during a voyage.

Danube river cruise ship crashed after it was 'suddenly no longer able to maneuver,' 17 passengers injured
- A cruise ship crashed into a concrete wall along the Danube river in Austria on Friday.
- A police statement said the ship "was suddenly no longer able to maneuver."
- Eleven people were treated at the hospital and another six suffered less serious injuries.
A Bulgarian cruise ship carrying over 140 passengers crashed into a concrete wall along the Danube river in Austria.
The incident occurred late on Friday in the northern Austrian town of Aschach an der Donau, local police said Saturday.
Eleven people were injured and taken to hospital as a result of the crash. Six others suffered less serious injuries that did not require hospital treatment.

The ship had set off from Passau, a German city on the Austrian border. A police statement said that as the ship was leaving a lock chamber further down the river, "the ship was suddenly no longer able to maneuver," and its right bow and left aft crashed into the lock walls.
The second-in-command of the ship, who had been at the helm during the crash, "pressed the emergency switch, whereupon the electronics started up again." He was then able to steer the ship out of the lock.
The ship was later docked at the quay wall and emergency services were notified. The ship was able to continue its journey toward Linz, Austria.
Earlier this week, a container ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, collapsing a section of the 1.6-mile-long structure. The bodies of two construction workers were found after the collision, and four more workers are missing and presumed dead.
Citing the container ship's recovered data recorder, officials said the power went out on the Dali for just one minute and three seconds as it approached the bridge, Sky News reported, but that was enough for the collision to become unavoidable.
In 2019, a cruise boat hit and sank a smaller boat near Budapest, Hungary, killing 25 South Korean tourists and two crew members. The captain was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the accident.
The Danube is the second-largest river in Europe, flowing from the Black Forest in Germany south into the Black Sea near Romania and Ukraine.
Correction: April 1, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated the year of the Danube ship crash in Hungary. It was in 2019, not 2023.

To be even more immersed in the local culture of the places you visit, we’ve added more overnight stays to give you a taste of the nightlife as well as offering more port visits of 12 hours or longer, so you can do and see even more while ashore.
