Captain Marvel brings female empowerment to Disney Cruise Line
Captain Marvel will be on hand to save the day on board Disney Cruise Line for the next few months.
The character who has her own movie coming out in March has been added to the cast of the line’s Marvel Day at Sea sailings.
She joins other Marvel characters including Iron Man, Captain America and Thor, who have been around since the special sailings began in fall 2017.
More recent additions have included Spider-Man, Black Panther and characters from Guardians of the Galaxy including massive walking tree Groot.
Marvel Day at Sea is slated for 10 sailings from January-March on board Disney Magic sailing out of PortMiami.
Disney Magic was the first ship to get any sort of Marvel touches after Disney bought the comic-book empire back in 2013 when it opened an Avengers-themed area in the Oceaneer Club.
An enhanced version of that space now called Marvel Super Hero Academy remains and will be part of the experience, which is a single day takeover during the Caribbean and Bahamas cruises.
That includes character meet-and-greets with both heroes and villains like Loki, other themed activities, specialty food and drink and a pyrotechnic-heavy show finale at night on the top deck.
Doctor Strange gets his own show titled “Doctor Strange: Journey into the Mystic Arts” to be held in the Walt Disney Theatre.
Disney mainstays like Mickey, Minnie and Pluto will also dress up for the occasion in their best superhero garb.
Other items include Marvel trivia games and even an adults-only experience at Fathoms nightclub that will be themed to the Guardians of the Galaxy set to music from Star-Lord’s Awesome Mixtape.
The theaters will be rife with Marvel film and TV offerings.
The dates featuring Marvel Day at Sea include Jan. 6 and Jan. 20 western Caribbean itineraries with stops in Grand Cayman and the Bahamas, Jan. 11, Jan. 25, Feb. 8, Feb. 22 and March 8 voyages that visit Key West and the Bahamas and Feb. 3, Feb. 17 and March 3 sailings that visit Cozumel and the Bahamas.
Disney also has Star Wars Day at Sea on tap, but those are on board Disney Fantasy sailing out of Port Canaveral.
Those sailings are on board seven-night sailings with a one-day takeover that also features character interactions, activities and nighttime finale. Sailings depart Jan. 5, Jan. 19, Feb. 2, Feb. 16 and March 2 on Western Caribbean itineraries with stops in Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman; Falmouth, Jamaica Castaway Cay in the Bahamas as well as Jan. 12, Jan. 26, Feb. 9 and Feb. 23, Eastern Caribbean itineraries with stops in Tortola, St. Thomas and Castaway Cay.
