Disney Cruises look amazing. During Disney Park Blogs 12 Days of Disney, they're revealing exciting new information for parks and cruises alike. And in the spirit of the holidays (and the new Star Wars movie), Disney has unveiled some exciting new things for their upcoming Star Wars cruises!

From the Disney Parks Blog:

The Dark Side

To kick off Star Wars Day at Sea celebrations, in a one-time experience the night before the event, Darth Vader and Stormtroopers will march into the ship's atrium for an Imperial takeover.
Kylo Ren will appear in "Jedi Training Academy," where young Jedi-in-training summon their courage and the Force to face off against Darth Vader and Kylo Ren.

The Resistance

Rey will take the stage in the "Summon the Force" nighttime deck show that celebrates great moments from across the Star Wars galaxy including iconic characters and new favorites, complete with an epic fireworks finale accompanied by John Williams' iconic music.
In "Porgs Onboard! Scavenger Hunt," Chewbacca needs your help to track the Porgs that have been wreaking havoc throughout the ship. You'll find and decode secret messages to solve a ship-wide quest and be greeted by everyone's favorite Wookiee at the end of your adventure.
In the days leading up to the epic celebration, check out all of the Star Wars feature films in the Buena Vista Theatre, culminating in a showing of the newest film, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."

Fun for the whole family

New in 2018, you are guaranteed a time to meet and take photographs with C-3PO and R2-D2, Chewbacca and Darth Vader. Before you even step onboard, you have the chance to reserve these character encounters online under the My Disney Cruise section of disneycruise.com.
Guests can step into the saga and pose with a life-size replica of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, as well as other cool Star Wars-themed backdrops.
In Star Wars Drawing Academy, guests can learn to draw some of their favorite Star Wars characters and a new character from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." Is it a Porg? You'll just have to wait and see!
Star Wars-themed interactive games, trivia and activities for the whole family will be hosted by your Disney cruise staff on the pool deck and in the D Lounge.

These are the droids you're looking for

C-3PO will make an appearance in Star Wars: Command Post in Disney's Oceaneer Club. During a special activity, children train to be members of the Resistance and fend off the First Order. C-3PO pays a visit to check on their training and further human-cyborg relations.
Droid Racing is a fast-paced activity that the whole family will enjoy where guests can race BB-Unit droids around a course in the ship's atrium.
In a hands-on activity for families, everyone tests their skills to become master droid builders and create an intergalactic droid.

I'm not going to lie: I'd love to check out this cruise one day. Disney really goes all out with making magic for their guests, and the cruise lines are certainly no exception!
