Disney Fantasy

This daylong celebration is filled with character encounters, live shows and Star Wars-themed activities for the entire family. Star Wars Day at Sea takes place on seven-night Disney Fantasy cruises to the Caribbean from January through March.

With more than a dozen of the galaxy’s most formidable and heroic characters on board, passengers can meet with Resistance figures including Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2, come face-to-face with Darth Vader and be on watch as Stormtroopers, Bounty Hunters and Jawas roam the ship.

Kids can learn the ways of the Jedi and use their new-found skills in a face-off against Darth Vader and Kylo Ren in ‘Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple.’ A ‘Summon the Force’ deck party, complete with fireworks, is open to the whole family.

Costume celebrations, movie screenings, trivia sessions, the Star Wars Drawing Academy and a ship-wide Porg-themed adventure are further activities. Special foods, beverages and merchandise will be available.
