Return to Frontierland – Return to Disneyland

The Sailing Ship Columbia is a historic attraction located in Disneyland’s Frontierland that offers guests a chance to take a leisurely cruise around the Rivers of America aboard a replica of an 18th-century sailing ship.

The ship is a replica of the Columbia Rediviva (commonly known as the Columbia), which was the first American ship to circumnavigate the globe. It features three decks and can accommodate up to 300 passengers. The ship is powered by a diesel engine, but guests can also see the sails being raised and lowered during the cruise.

During the cruise, guests can listen to the narration provided by the captain, which offers interesting information about the history of sailing ships and the landmarks that can be seen along the way. Guests can also relax and enjoy the views, taking in the sights and sounds of the river and the surrounding wilderness.

One of the highlights of the Sailing Ship Columbia is the views it offers of the other attractions in Frontierland, including the Mark Twain Riverboat and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Guests can also catch a glimpse of Tom Sawyer Island, a themed island attraction located in the middle of the Rivers of America.

Overall, the Sailing Ship Columbia is a classic Disneyland attraction that offers guests a chance to relax and take in the scenic views of Frontierland and the Rivers of America aboard a historic sailing ship. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a break from the excitement of the park, this attraction is definitely worth a visit.
