Disney Cruises Triples Its Star Wars Sailings
Disney Cruise Line is tripling the force for 2017, increasing the number of Star Wars Sailings from 8 to 30, citing high demand.
The cruises, which dedicate a day at sea to indulge in everything the force can offer, will take place on the 4,000-guest Disney Fantasy.
There will be 15 Star Wars cruises on eastern and 15 on western Caribbean itineraries, featuring photo ops with characters, movie screenings, lightsaber training for kids, and pool-deck parties with fireworks.
The announcement is another step in the Disney takeover of Star Wars. After buying the franchise in 2012, Disney updated Hollywood Studios’ Star Wars attraction, added another film installment, and brought the force to sea.
Last week, Disney announced that it would add a new Star Wars-themed fireworks show at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, which will add projections onto the surrounding buildings.
