Adventures by Disney recently announced that it will be adding adults-only river cruises to its 2017 lineup chartered aboard AmaWaterways. The question is, will the company follow the same path on the river as it has on the oceans with a dedicated Disney river line in the near future?
Before the Disney Cruise Line and its four current ships – the Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, Disney Magic and Disney Wonder – set sail, the company similarly partnered with Premier Cruise Line and its “The Big Red Boat” fleet in 1985.
