Are you a big fan of Black Panther?  Do you have a child whose favorite Marvel superhero is T’Challa or Shuri?  Are you fascinated by Wakanda?

Well, did you know that a great place to be for a Black Panther fan is a Disney cruise?

You can have fun on a lot of Disney cruise ships if you love Black Panther.  For example, one of the restaurants on the Disney Wish cruise ship is Worlds of Marvel, themed to (what else?) Marvel.  You’ll get a kick out of the menu which includes nods to different places in the Marvel Cinematic Universe like Wakanda!

But if you want to take the Black Panther experience even further, then consider booking a Marvel Day at Sea cruise.

How to save big on your dream Disney vacation

Warriors of Wakanda Show

Though perhaps more exciting for fans of Black Panther is the Warriors of Wakanda Show!  Okoye leads a captivating demonstration where you’ll see what it takes to train alongside the Dora Milaj.  This is a fun experience for the whole family.

Other Experiences

Guests are encouraged during this Marvel celebration to dress up as their favorite superhero or villain.  So this is the perfect opportunity to pull out those Black Panther costumes.  And if you don’t already have one, you can find a Black Panther costume here.

The Black Panther will also appear in “Heroes Unite”.  This is Marvel Day at Sea’s signature nighttime spectacular.  It has stunts, special effects & pyrotechnics.

There are other experiences you could have on the cruise that are really fun for a Black Panther fan.  For example, you could see one of the Black Panther movies playing on the big screen once again at the Buena Vista Theatre or you could see it on deck (depending on the schedule of the cruise).  And Black Panther trivia could come up during the Family Trivia session.  These are just a couple of ways you can have fun as a Black Panther fan.

Booking a Disney Cruise

If you want the best price for your Disney cruise, then you can get good rates for the Marvel Day at Sea Cruise here.  You can also find good rates for Disney cruises (including say a cruise on a Disney Wish cruise ship with the Worlds of Marvel restaurant) here.
