Disney ‘Star Wars Day at Sea’ Returns
Disney Cruise Line guests can celebrate the legendary adventures and iconic characters from the Star Wars saga during “Star Wars Day at Sea,” returning in early 2017.
New for 2017, the Disney Fantasy special sailings expand to both eastern and western Caribbean itineraries and nearly double in number to 15 cruises – up from eight this year. During this day-long celebration, Star Wars Day at Sea combines “the power of the Force and the magic of Disney for an out-of-this-galaxy cruise experience unlike any other.”
“Our guests keep telling us that Star Wars Day at Sea is an experience they’ll never forget, that it’s a thrill of intergalactic proportions,” said Karl L. Holz, president of Disney Cruise Line. “In response to guest demand, we’re pleased to create even more Star Wars memories aboard the Disney Fantasy in 2017 with an expanded schedule of these special sailings. Clearly, the Force is alive and well on the high seas.”
Each sailing features a full day of dark side and light side fun, including official appearances of Star Wars characters, a deck party and fireworks, Star Wars-themed family and youth activities, at-sea screenings of Star Wars films, unique food and beverage offerings, and special merchandise.
