Marvel fans, your ship has come in. Literally.

Disney today announced that Marvel characters will appear on the Disney Magic in a big way in 2017 as part of seven special Marvel-themed sailings out of New York.

Taking place on a succession of trips starting in October, the Marvel Day at Sea voyages will feature a full day of Marvel celebrations that include a deck party, meet-and-greets with characters, Marvel-themed youth activities, unique food and beverage offerings, and special merchandise.

Also on tap will be exclusive at-sea screenings of Marvel films and Disney XD shows such as Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Marvel sailings are scheduled for six sailings to the Bahamas departing on Oct. 6, 14, 28; and Nov. 4, 11 and 18. There also will be a single Marvel sailing to the Canadian coast departing on Oct. 21. All of the voyages are seven- or eight-nights in length.
