I’m taking you on a tour of destinations throughout Europe you can visit with Disney Cruise Line. For the first time this summer, we’re calling on Portland, England, a charming limestone island in the English Channel —just a short distance from Stonehenge and a central part of the Jurassic Coast. Both in and around Portland is a wealth of cultural and historic treasures awaiting your family.
History and Mystery at Salisbury & Stonehenge – This excursion combines a visit to the most sophisticated and mysterious stone circle in the world with time to explore a fascinating medieval city. You’ll have two hours at Stonehenge, an amazing feat of engineering and one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World. Next up is free time in historic Salisbury to explore the city’s Market Square and stunning cathedral, home of England’s tallest spire and the historic Magna Carta.
