That includes taking Guests on adventures which are usually only seen in Disney movies. With the far-away locales, breathtaking views, epic elegance and musical merriment found on these vacations, you don’t have to be a real-life princess to enjoy them—but if the crown fits, you’ll fit right in! Check out these five destinations and special experiences to bring out your inner royalty.

Aim for a Brave Adventure

British Isles Cruise | Merida, Brave*

Edinburgh Castle is waiting… who will answer the call to explore it, and the historic village below it?

With its exciting array of historical culture, natural and manmade splendor, and thriving arts both on-and off-board, this trip hits a bullseye for adventurers!

Take the Ordinary and “Let It Go”

You can even play the part of royalty while mingling with your favorite Princesses at Royal Court Royal Tea or getting a regal makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
