Starting Jan. 7, nine seven-night sailings on the Disney Fantasy will include a day-long celebration dedicated to the beloved tales of Pixar. Featuring an all-new nighttime spectacular, character encounters, dance and pool parties, and activities for the entire family, the Pixar Day at Sea will be the highlight of your Disney Cruise Line vacation.

Whether our guests are a lifelong fan or newcomer to the Marvel Universe, they’ll be sure to embark on an epic vacation when fan-favorite Super Heroes and Villains assemble in all-new ways aboard Marvel Day at Sea sailings in early 2023.

Setting sail January through March from Miami, Marvel Day at Sea combines the thrills of renowned Marvel comics, films and animated series with the excitement of a Disney cruise.

During this one action-packed day aboard the Disney Dream, guests will get to experience all-day entertainment including meet-and-greets, stage shows, film and TV screenings, special merchandise, themed food and beverage offerings, and activities for every member of the family.

For the first time ever, more than 30 Marvel Super Heroes and Villains will be featured in new heroic encounters and live entertainment throughout the event:
