Marvel Day at Sea Hits Texas
For the first time out of Galveston, Texas, Marvel Day at Sea will transport families into the thrilling universe of beloved heroes and infamous villains in an action-packed adventure at sea.

Spider-Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor, Loki and Black Panther are among the dozens of favorite heroes and villains from across the multiverse that will collide onboard the Disney Magic during Marvel Day at Sea in 2026.
The excitement of the Marvel Universe will come to life at sea with experiences for the whole family. In Fathoms, a big-band, star-spangled tribute to Captain America will unfold with a special USO show, featuring vintage dance numbers and an appearance from the Star-Spangled Man himself! Recruits of Wakanda will convene in the atrium for warrior training with the mighty Okoye, General of Dora Milaje. For aspiring young heroes, themed youth activities like the Avengers Training Initiative will offer the chance to test their Super Hero skills.
Classic Disney characters will also join in the heroics as 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, a signature nighttime spectacular on the upper decks will sweep guests up in a daring battle with thrilling stunts, special effects and fireworks at sea as Marvel Super Heroes and villains engage in a battle of destiny that cuts across the multiverse.
