Marvel Day at Sea and Pixar Day at Sea Return for 2026
By Rikki
Want to sail the seas with your favorite Marvel or Pixar characters? Well, in 2026, you can on Disney Cruise Line! That’s because Marvel Day at Sea and Pixar Day at Sea will be returning! But there’s some changes!
Marvel Day at Sea
For the first time ever, the Disney Magic will leave out of Galveston, Texas for the Marvel Day at Sea. Sailings for this specialty cruise start in January. Select four- and five-night Disney Magic sailings will offer fun entertainment for the whole family, plus character encounters and special themed dining and merchandise.
Spider-Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor, Loki and Black Panther are among the dozens of favorite heroes and villains that will be onboard the Disney Magic during Marvel Day at Sea in 2026.
There will also be a big-band, star-spangled tribute to Captain America with a special USO show in Fathoms. The show will feature vintage dance numbers and an appearance from Cap! Recruits of Wakanda will meet in the atrium for warrior training with Okoye, General of Dora Milaje. In addition, there will even be themed youth activities like the Avengers Training Initiative.
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 is a signature nighttime spectacular on the upper decks with thrilling stunts, special effects and fireworks at sea. The show will find Marvel Super Heroes and villains engaging in a battle that cuts across the multiverse.
Pixar Day at Sea
Pixar Day at Sea will return to the Disney Fantasy in January. On select five-night Disney Fantasy sailings out of Port Canaveral, Florida, your family will experience the Pixar tales of “Toy Story,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “The Incredibles,” “Inside Out,” and “Coco.”
Families will want to head to the upper decks for Crush’s Totally Awesome Pool Party, full of dances and games led by Crush’s Pixar Party Patrol. Or you can don your best Pixar fashion and strut your stuff for the ultimate critic, Edna Mode, during Edna Mode’s Style on Parade.
During Anyone Can Cook, live like Remy in a live cooking demonstration with Disney Chefs.
The sun will set on the Pixar Day at Sea fun and games during the Pixar Pals Celebration on the upper decks. You’ll dance the night away in a high-energy deck party with all of your favorite Pixar friends.
