The 2,700-passenger ship will sail four Pixar-inspired seven-day cruises along the coast of California.

The Wonder’s cast of cruise characters will include Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie of the "Toy Story" series; Remy from "Ratatouille"; Mr. Incredible from "The Incredibles"; and Carl Fredricksen from "Up."

Guests will be able to interact with the characters throughout the cruise and during themed dance parties.

Pixar artists and filmmakers will give guests a behind-the-scenes look at animated features and short films. Guests will explore the making of "Brave," a Pixar film to be released June 22. Sneak peaks of footage from future Pixar movies will also be shown.

To gain a better understanding of the conceptualization behind the films, storyboards, character sketches, scale models and environment paintings will be on display.

The entire collection of Pixar films, including short animations, will be available for viewing during the cruise, with special screenings taking place in the two theaters onboard.

The Pixar-themed voyages will take place between Sept. 16 and Oct. 14, 2012. They will sail from Los Angeles and call in San Francisco, San Diego and Ensebada, Mexico.
