Disney Cruise Ship Receiving Major Enhancements and Upgrades

Disney Cruise Line announced today that new entertainment and experiences will be added to Disney Wonder this fall when the ship goes into dry dock.

Marvel Super Hero Academy

Among the additions will be the Marvel Super Hero Academy that will offer extraordinary adventures in which each young guest plays an integral role. With the mentorship of some of Marvel’s greatest Super Heroes, young trainees will learn the value of teamwork, bravery and problem solving through hands-on play and programs.

This edition to Disney’s Oceaneer Club will include Captain America’s World War II shield, Iron Man’s helmet, Spider-Man’s web shooters and Black Widow’s gauntlets.

Other new play places for children that will have more character interactions that ever before will be Andy’s Room, Frozen Adventures, and Club Disney Junior.
