Sail away with the heroes of ‘Star Wars’ and Marvel adventures
May the Force be with you, and you and you.

It’s all part of the new scene on Disney Cruise Line’s ship Fantasy, which came out of dry dock last month with a host of enhancements, including the addition of “Star Wars” and Marvel activity centers.

“Star Wars” movie fans will be able to become part of the resistance at Command Post, a hidden base where they can train with “Star Wars” heroes.
Kids can connect to holographic models of the Millennium Falcon, an X-wing starfighter or the Death Star via the interactive, high-tech control hub. But if you make a mistake, beware: You’ll have to combat First Order Stormtroopers.
At Marvel Super Hero Academy, kids can learn the mystic arts from Doctor Strange, polishing their hero skills while learning how to battle villains in the Marvel Universe. Gaming and interactive portals help beginners become Avengers.
