Disney Cruise has announced a range of firsts, with a flurry of new locations accessible via a family-friendly Disney cruise route from Southampton. Highlights of the new routes include a full tour of the British Isles, a new stop in La Rochelle in France, and two new ports in Nor way, Skjolden and Sandnes.

Although such cruises have been successful in the United States and other areas of the world for years, this will be the first time Disney fans will be able to sail around the Mediterranean and the British Isles on a Disney cruise ship.
