Disney Cruise Line has announced another themed day at sea, this time calling on Star Wars for select sailings on the Disney Fantasy in early 2016.
The Fantasy, which sails seven-night Caribbean cruises out of Port Canaveral, Fla., will host the Star Wars Day at Sea on eight sailings that will feature character interactions, a deck party, movie screenings, a version of the Jedi Training Academy and more.
The Star Wars announcement comes on the heels of the line’s announcement of “Frozen” days at sea this summer on select sailings of the Disney Magic in Europe and Disney Wonder in Alaska. The line has already rolled out pirate-themed and Pixar-themed days in years past.
“Being able to engage our guests with these one-of-a-kind experiences, from a galaxy far, far away to the enchanting land of ‘Frozen,’ is a true difference that Disney provides,” said Disney Cruise Line marketing manager Jennifer Haile-Tinn.
The Star Wars universe had previously not been featured on any Disney Cruise Line ships. Meet-and-greets will include Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Boba Fett, stormtroopers and others. Characters will also roam the ship during the day, and cruisers are encouraged to dress up as well. Also promised will be celebrities and experts from the Star Wars universe on each of the sailings.
For adults, the nightclub will be transformed into the Mos Eisley cantina.
The special Star Wars sailings on the Fantasy take place January through April. Inside staterooms for some of the western Caribbean sailings start at $1,076 per person, based on double occupancy.
