Two Fun Cruises Are Returning in 2021

If you’ve been reading my stuff here at Disney Over 50 for a while, you know that I absolutely love Disney Cruise Line! I have been on two hosted cruises, and now it is on the top of my bucket list to sail on every ship in the DCL fleet. Since I love cruising so much, I am excited to tell you that two fun cruise experiences are returning in 2021. I am, of course, talking about Marvel Day at Sea and Star Wars Day at Sea. I was getting a bit worried about the latter, since in the past the dates had been released together, but it was recently announced that they are both set to return.

Marvel Day at Sea is on select five-night cruises on the Disney Magic. It sails out of Miami. Star Wars Day at Sea is on seven-night cruises on the Disney Fantasy. This one sails out of Port Canaveral. The cruises all will take place in January and February, and there are a couple of Marvel cruises in early March.

For either one of these themed cruises, there is one day that is devoted to the franchise. There are extra characters, the films are played, and there are activities all day long. There is a special menu for dinner as well. That evening things will wrap up with a special stage show on deck that includes fireworks. There is also plenty of merchandise for sale, but that is sold throughout the cruise (or until they run out), not just on the themed day. My first cruise was Marvel Day at Sea, and it was the best vacation that I’ve ever been on. I also attended a Star Wars Day at Sea media event, where we got a glimpse of what takes place, but that only lasted for a few hours. It made me want to go even more!

The departing dates for Star Wars Day at Sea are January 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30, and February 6, 13, 20, and 27. The departing dates for Marvel Day at Sea are January 9, 18, and 23, February 1, 6, 15, and 20, and March 1 and 6. Each cruise will run nine times. There are a couple of different itineraries, so head to the Disney Cruise Line website to see which one appeals to you the most! Go ahead and book, even if you won’t have any children with you. You will have the time of your life.
