Disney is known for creating immersive entertainment that puts guests in the middle of their favorite stories with their favorite characters. Star Wars Day at Sea is one of the latest examples of this kind of entertainment, and we were lucky enough to get a closer look at this incredible event.
The Disney Fantasy is the host of Star Wars Day at Sea, which transforms the ship into a galaxy far, far away for 15 seven-night Caribbean cruises in 2018. During these cruises, guests enjoy special character meet and greets, unique photo opportunities, themed food and merchandise and much more.
To truly explain the Star Wars Day at Sea experience, I first have to say the Disney Fantasy is a beautiful ship. If you have never stepped aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship before, the Disney Fantasy will certainly take your breath away.
Your very own Star Wars story begins the night before Star Wars Day at Sea with the atrium takeover, featuring an intimidating display from Darth Vader and his stormtroopers.
