Sarah Bretz, ContributorDisney Cruise Line has announced that fan-favorite themed days Marvel Day at Sea and Pixar Day at Sea will be returning in a whole new way next year.
Pixar Day at Sea will make its return to Disney Fantasy out of Port Canaveral in January 2026, while Marvel Day at Sea will take place aboard Disney Magic out of Galveston — also in January.
Marvel Day at Sea
For the first time from Galveston, Marvel Day at Sea will transport families into the thrilling universe of beloved heroes and infamous villains in an action-packed adventure at sea. Select four and five-night Disney Magic sailings will offer Marvel-themed entertainment, plus character encounters and special themed dining and merchandise.
Spider-Main, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor, Loki, and Black Panther are among the dozens of favorite heroes and villains from across the multiverse that will collide onboard Disney Magic during Marvel Day at Sea in 2026.
The excitement of the Marvel Universe will come to life at sea with experiences for the whole family. In Fathoms, a big-band, star-spangled tribute to Captain America will unfold with a special USO show, featuring vintage dance numbers and an appearance from the Star-Spangled Man himself! Recruits of Wakanda will convene in the atrium for warrior training with the mighty Okoye, General of Dora Milaje. For you aspiring young heroes, themed youth activities like the Avengers Training Initiative will give you the chance to test your Super Hero skills.
Classic Disney characters will also join in the heroics as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends dress up in their favorite Marvel gear during Mickey and Minnie’s Super Hero Celebration.
Finally, Marvel Heroes Unite, a signature nighttime spectacular on the upper decks, will sweep you up in a daring battle with thrilling stunts, special effects, and fireworks at sea as Marvel Super Heroes and villains engage in a battle of destiny that cuts across the multiverse.
Pixar Day at Sea
Pixar Day at Sea is returning on select five-night Disney Fantasy cruises out of Port Canaveral, Florida. Families will experience the beloved tales of “Toy Story,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Incredibles,” “Inside Out,” and “Coco” during the fun-filled adventure, starting with the Toy Story-themed Hey Howdy Breakfast.
Every member of the family will find fun during the Disney Cruise Line Pixar Day at Sea. For those looking for a turtle-y righteous celebration on the big blue, head to the upper decks for Crush’s Totally Awesome Pool Party, full of dances and games led by Crush’s Pixar Party Patrol. If you’re more about the presentation, darling, don your best Pixar fashion and strut your stuff for the ultimate critic, Edna Mode, during Edna Mode’s Style on Parade.
During the Anyone Can Cook live cooking demonstration, Disney chefs prepare dishes including — of course — Ratatouille!
The sun will set on the Pixar Day at Sea fun and games during the Pixar Pals Celebration on the upper decks, where guests can dance the night away with favorite Pixar characters.
