Star Wars Day at Sea Is The Cruise You’re Looking For

Yesterday we got a chance to attend a Star Wars Day at Sea media preview on board the Disney Fantasy and we brought you some of the delicious delights that the cruise has to offer. Now we would like to take a moment to show you some of the activities you can find on the ship.

JEDI TRAINING: TRIALS OF THE TEMPLE

Younglings are invited to train in the ways of the Force—and then test their new skills against Darth Vader and Kylo Ren. Family and friends can watch the younglings test their lightsaber-wielding skills against the villains they love during this impressive and fun show.

You will have to use the force and your lightsaber skills to defeat Darth Vader and Kylo Ren.

OCEANEER’S CLUB – STAR WARS: COMMAND POST

In the revamped Oceaneer’s Club children ages 3-12 can play in the Star Wars: Command Post. From the icy planet of Hoth to the vast forests of Endor, kids can take a seat and set course for some pretty far out places in the galaxy via Starfighter Training Simulators.

CHARACTER EXPERIENCES

Star Wars Day at Sea will also have more opportunities than ever to meet your favorite Star Wars characters.

New in 2018, you are guaranteed a time to meet and take photographs with C-3PO and R2-D2, Chewbacca and Darth Vader. Before you even step onboard, you have the chance to reserve time with these character experiences.

These are just a few of the things you’ll be able to do on this out-of-this-world sailing adventure. And you’ll have plenty of time… With seven-night cruises aboard the Disney Fantasy, there’s enough time for lots more epic fun. If you love Star Wars then this is a something you have to try out.
