Cruise ship dance clips on Ghibliia

A man in white linen with a friend peeking out, and a grey cat in a tiny shirt, each on a sunny deck.

The samples start from original portraits of two adults and an AI-made cat, not customers, celebrities or anything taken from a film. Deck Dance was cut from a 10-second vertical clip made with Seedance 2.0 Fast on November 5, 2026 on airapvideo.homes, from two portraits (the guy and his friend) first placed on the deck with image AI. Collar Cat comes from another Seedance 2.0 Fast clip from the same day.

About 9 seconds of each clip were kept for this page, gently reframed, colour graded and speed-adjusted, with the ghibliia.com mark at the top left. Nothing was mirrored. The music is an original beat, not the trend's song. Sunny Deck and Harbour Sunset are image only: the guy's portrait moved into two places with image-to-image AI, the same thing you can do on Image. No credits were spent on these samples. Use this scene →

Deck Dance

A guy in white linen grins in close-up, tugs at his shirt collar and dances across the sunny deck into a deep lunge, while a red-haired friend peeks out of the corridor door and laughs.

Collar Cat

A grey tabby in a little white shirt starts with one paw on her collar, walks upright along the deck by the sea, throws two kicks, drops into a lunge and ends up staring at the camera again.

Upload your photo, pick Sunny Deck or Harbour Sunset, press Generate video.

  1. 1

    The photo

    Your face sharp, looking at the camera and well lit, because the clip opens on a close-up. Head and shoulders is enough. A shirt with a collar makes the tug look better.

    • Your own photo, or one of an adult who said yes
    • With a pet: the whole animal, facing the camera; it dances upright on its hind legs
    • Never a photo of a child, a stranger or a celebrity

    Pick a scene

    Above the photo box, choose Sunny Deck, the white deck and blue sea from the trend, or Harbour Sunset, the deck of a moored ship in golden light with colourful houses behind it.

The cruise ship dance, move by move

Close-up grin and collar tug, a slide and two kicks, a deep lunge.

Remakes run about 30 seconds; generators cut them down to 10–15. Here's how the Deck Dance sample plays out, about 9 seconds long:

The collar

0–3 s: the camera moves in on his grin and he tugs his shirt collar with both hands, very pleased with himself. The friend is already peeking in from the left at the start.

Slide and kick

4–6 s: the camera pulls back and he dances alone across the wooden deck: he slides, throws kicks and spins by the railing.

The lunge

7–9 s: he drops into a deep lunge with one arm out while the friend leans out of the corridor door and laughs.

How the cruise ship dance spread

A deck dance scene from a 2018 animated film went viral again on October 11, 2026, and AI remakes followed the next day.

01

October 11 and 12

On October 11, 2026 a phone video of that animated scene went viral (6.7 million views as of November 2). On the 12th, @theraguler posted the first live-action AI remake: two guys on the deck of a real cruise ship, with 5.1 million views and 957,200 likes as of November 2. It's also known as the 24K Magic AI trend. This page doesn't use the film's character, footage or song.

02

The Spanish-language wave

On October 31 an Argentine remake by @niquito89 reached 858,200 views, a CapCut template spread along with tutorials, and #24kmagicaidance was born. In Spanish, people search for it as “bailando en el crucero”. Figures from makeviral.ai.

Posting your cruise ship dance clip

One line of your own on top, music added in TikTok, a clean lunge at the end.

The caption

One line at the top: “Cruise day 3”, “Me when the buffet opens at 7” or “My cousin at the wedding”. Keep the bottom of the video clear, where the final lunge lands.

The sound

The clip comes with an original beat. The scene's song is a 2016 pop hit and the footage belongs to the studio, so we don't add either. In TikTok you can add any sound you like; for a beat of your own, make one on Music. More ideas in all video effects.

Cruise ship dance questions

What is the cruise ship dance?

The 24K Magic AI trend with your face on it: a close-up grin, a collar tug and a solo dance on a sunny cruise deck.

Why are so many versions in Spanish?

An Argentine remake hit 858,200 views on October 31, 2026, the same day the CapCut template took off.

Which photo should I upload?

A sharp face looking at the camera in good light. A collared shirt sells the tug.

Is the original song in the clip?

No. It comes with an original beat; add music in TikTok if you want.

Can my cat do it?

Yes. Use a clear photo of the whole animal; it dances upright on its hind legs, like the cat in the sample.
