Disney Mediterranean cruise
Earn valuable 36.0 Mainpro+ credits from the National Winners of the CFPC's CPD Program Award—while exploring the Mediterranean on the fantastic Disney Magic.
NEW! You have three wonderful Disney options in 2018: this Mediterranean cruise aboard the Disney Magic (Jul 22-29), a Caribbean cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy (Dec 15-22), & at the Yacht Club Resort in Disney World (Dec 27-29).
This CME respects your time. This workshop is certified at the highest level (three-credits-per-hour) by the College of Family Physicians of Canada. Our 3:1 CME saves you an incredible amount of time (and therefore money) over 1:1 CME. Just have a look at the five-year benefit calculations.
Vacation CME has many advantages over local CME. See what your colleagues are saying, and explore the case for it being four-credit-per-hour CME.
Many physician leaders have been trained by CBT Canada over the past twenty years. Alumni include CFPC presidents (both national & provincial), department chairs, residency training program directors—and even a few doctors who are comfortable using drills & saws.

CBT Canada is pleased to host a Mediterranean CME cruise from Sunday, July 22 to Sunday, July 29, 2018 aboard Disney Cruise Line's top-rated Magic.

Head instructor Greg Dubord, MD is in the groove after 500 CBT workshops, and is a University of Toronto CME Teacher of the Year.
Your itinerary
In our opinion there is absolutely no comparison between the quality of the family experience on a Disney cruise compared with that of any other cruise. Disney is by far & away #1 for building families. And rather remarkably, Disney gets the very highest ratings from those passengers who are traveling without children! (Bloomberg, 2017).

ARRR MATIES! Thursday, July 26 is Pirate Night aboard the Disney Magic. We begin with a pirate-themed dinner, where our pirate servers will greet us with a cheerful "Ahoy matey!" and "Arrr!" (that's "hello, how are you?—I'm fine" in pirate talk). The feast is followed by a Pirates in the Caribbean show and deck party (with dancing for all).
The magic of Europe! The question, "What did you do on your summer vacation?" has no better answer than "My family went to Europe". And that answer is really 1,000 pictures and a gazillion words. Kids who've been to Europe are transformed.
On this amazing voyage you'll sail in the most storied sea in the world with the best storytellers on the planet. In each port of call, new wonders and timeless memories await.
It's all aboard from the sun-soaked beaches of Barcelona to discover the rich history of Western Europe's oldest town of Cádiz. Our next stop is the Portuguese city Lisbon, the capital of the first colonial empire. We then make our way to the enchanting Spanish fishing port of Vigo. From there we're off to Cherbourg, a stunning French town along the English Channel, near the island castle of Mont Saint-Michel and the historic beaches of Normandy. Our final stop is the White Cliffs of Dover, near Canterbury and just an hour by train into London. The magic of Disney gives you the wonders of Europe on the voyage of a lifetime.
The Disney Magic
The Magic has Disney's legendary attention to detail. Delightfully themed venues—including youth clubs, restaurants, nightclubs and theatre spaces—take guests of all ages to faraway places. Elegance & sophistication mingle with storytelling & whimsy. Memory melds with magic throughout the ship. The Magic will whisk you & your family away to an age of adventure & wonder (videos).
Disney has become one of the world's top cruise lines by catering specifically to the needs of families. Travel + Leisure readers have ranked Disney the #1 Large-Ship Cruise Line for Families for eight consecutive years. Condé Nast Traveler readers have rated Disney the #1 Large-Ship Line in the World for four years running—and note that's not just for families—that's overall. And in their inaugural report on cruise lines, JD Power ranked Disney #1—not just overall, but in ALL six subcategories, beating out Celebrity, Holland America, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean in every one of them. You can definitely expect ultra-convenient facilities, sleek style, and spectacular splashes of magic aboard the billion-dollar Disney Magic.
Disney is consistently rated the top cruise line for families. Why is that? Well, it turns out you can have many different vacations on one ship. With Disney Cruises, there's a different kind of magic for infants, kids, tweens, teens, adults and families. Special, separate spaces have been created for cruisers of every age to let everyone enjoy their own favorite things.
Along with legendary Disney service, there's entertainment for all ages, day and night. The Magic offers whimsical, soft play areas where children 3 months to 3 years are carefully watched over by caregivers, so parents can enjoy some time on their own. The Oceaneer Club and Oceaneer Lab are for those 3-10 to play in spaces designed just for them. Tweens have the private Edge Club where they can take virtual control of the ship, play the latest video games, and kick off all sorts of custom-created adventures. Teens have Vibe, their own personal getaway with no adults and no little kids, hosted by the coolest counselors at sea. Open early and open late, moms and dads can set off with a ship-wide pager on their own adventures, knowing that their youngsters are taken care of by fun-loving Disney Youth Counselors.
And of course, there are many "just for adults" areas, including an adults-only pool, spa, fitness center, sports clubs, nightclubs, and more.
When families come together, they do so as never before. There are watery adventures with fun slides and splash zones. Rotational dining brings you and your family's wait staff to a different restaurant every night. They get to know your favorites, and your kids' favorites and all the little details that make for the perfect dining experience. Dedicated family nights include game shows, karaoke, and family dance parties. First-run films run day and night, some in digital 3D. Original, spectacular Disney musicals come to life with all the style of Broadway.
