Disney Cruise Line is known for creating unforgettable vacations, and select sailings make the experience even more special. In addition to their popular holiday sailings like Halloween on the High Seas and Very Merrytime Cruises, guests can also enjoy themed voyages such as Marvel Day at Sea and the exciting Pixar Day at Sea.
Marvel Day at Sea
Marvel fans won’t want to miss these special sailings aboard the Disney Magic, departing from Galveston, Texas. Available only on select January and February itineraries, these cruises visit Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. You’ll encounter beloved heroes such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Loki, Groot, Gamora, Black Panther, Ant-Man, and more. And of course, classic Disney characters—including Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto, and even the princesses—are part of the fun too.
Pixar Day at Sea
Just announced, Pixar Day at Sea will be featured on select 5-night sailings aboard the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral. These voyages take place in January, February, and March, visiting Nassau and Disney’s private island, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point. Some itineraries even include both Lookout Cay and Castaway Cay, giving families twice the opportunity to relax on Disney’s stunning private beaches.
Guests can look forward to magical encounters with beloved Pixar friends such as Buzz and Woody, Bo Peep, Remy, Rex, Carl Fredrickson and Russell, Mike and Sulley, Joy and Sadness, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible, Miguel, and more. Whether your family loves adventure, laughter, or heartwarming stories, these days at sea bring Pixar favorites to life in unforgettable ways.
A Tip for Making the Most of Your Cruise
One of the best values onboard, in my opinion, is the Disney Cruise Line photo package. For a flat fee, you’ll receive digital access to all photos taken during your cruise—both onboard and at the private islands. Purchasing in advance typically saves money, and with professional backdrops set up each evening before dinner, it’s the perfect opportunity to capture studio-quality family portraits. These photos become treasured souvenirs, letting you relive the joy and magic of your vacation for years to come.
Let’s Plan Your Disney Cruise!
A Disney Cruise is always magical, but if your family loves Pixar or Marvel, these special sailings are truly unmissable. Imagine your little ones in costume, meeting their favorite characters, enjoying dazzling entertainment, and watching fireworks at sea. Add in world-class dining, family fun, and Disney’s exceptional service, and you’ll have a vacation filled with memories to cherish forever.
