For those who have been on board the Disney Wish, much of the entertainment will look familiar, with stories based on princesses, super heroes, Star Wars and more.
Walt Disney Imagineering Lab
While a Disney cruise is a dream vacation to many, that doesn’t stop the learning from flowing.
At the Walt Disney Imagineering Lab, kids will discover the secrets of world-renowned Disney Imagineers — the creative masterminds behind Disney theme parks, resorts and cruise ships.
STEM serves as the foundation for a Disney Imagineer as well as a wide range of careers, and the lab’s hands-on activities and inventive experiments check the boxes for science, technology, engineering and math.
The walls are even decked out with appropriate tools and equipment for an Imagineer.
The extension of the Imagineering Lab is the Ride Studio, were kids can put their own spin on thrill rides,
Pulling inspiration from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, or Matterhorn Bobsled, guests will partake in the design phase, climb into a capsule and virtually test out their roller coaster at sea.
Star Wars: Cargo Bay
It made its debut aboard the Disney Wish, and now the Treasure will be full of peculiar creatures and legendary characters from a galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Cargo Bay allows kids to become immersed in their own Star Wars story as they take on the role of being a creature keeper and learn to manage a mischievous menagerie of exotic beings.
Throughout the cruise, you’ll track and study creatures on a series of special assignments using augmented reality-enabled data pads. Space travelers will also be tasked with an important mission to deliver a pair of secret stowaways — Rey and Chewbacca — back to the Resistance!

Marvel Super Hero Academy
It too made a smashing debut aboard the Disney Wish, and now the Disney Treasure is full of super power.
Marvel Super Hero Academy — the high-tech Avengers headquarters — is where young “recruits” will train to be the next generation of super heroes with the help of heroes like Spider-Man, Black Panther and Ant-Man.
Choose a super hero suit from a selection of power sets based on Marvel heroes like Iron Man and Captain Marvel. Then, go on different missions like a virtual battle with “Avengers: Mission Training,” a gesture-based technology game.
Fairytale Hall
From Rapunzel’s Art Studio, to reading and acting out stories at Belle’s Library, Fairytale Hall is the place to let your creativity shine.
The collection of activity rooms run by Disney royalty even includes a Frozen-inspired area called Sommerhus, where kids can have a virtual snowball fight.
Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck
Geared towards 3, 4 and 5-year-old’s, Mickey and Minnie Captain’s Deck is a nautical playground inspired by the colors, icons and magic of Disney Cruise Line.
It’s the perfect space to play and have fun.
The deck is also home to Minnie’s Captain Academy, where little cadets will learn how to be a good captain through steam-building activities and then be rewarded by Minnie herself.
According to Disney Cruise Line, the Oceaneer Club on Disney Cruise Line is for children ages 3 to 10 and must be fully toilet-trained
“It’s a Small World” nursery
Cute, quaint and colorful, toddlers can roam and rest in their own space, while parents enjoy some kid-free time.
Next door to Minnie’s Captain Academy, is “It’s a Small World” nursery.
According to Disney Cruise Line, youngsters from 6 months to 3 years old can play games, make crafts, watch movies or even take a nap.
Disney counselors will also provide snacks and parents can even check in unnoticed through a window into the nursery’s main play area.
The nursery is an add-on service and costs $4.50 per half hour, or $9 per hour for your first child, and then $8 per hour for every additional child.
Appointments must be booked in half hour or hour increments and can be placed by phone or in person. Charging fees will apply to any no-shows.
Hero Zone
For kids and adults looking for more physical activity on the high seas, look no further than the Hero Zone.
Just like the Disney Wish, this recreation space is where families can play together.
Inspired by everyone’s favorite superhero family from Disney/Pixar’s The Incredibles, the “Incredi-Games” includes action-packed physical challenges and competitions.
An elaborate course features over-the-top obstacles, each inspired by the dynamic powers of the Parr family and their fellow super hero friend, Frozone.
The second of three Triton class ships, the Disney Treasure’s maiden voyage will set sail on Dec. 21 from Port Canaveral. The cruise has seven-night itineraries with stops at Tortola, St. Thomas, and Castaway Cay.
