Nick at Sea
Nickelodeon is introducing its first-ever cruise with the “Nickelodeon Family Cruise with Royal Caribbean,” to set sail August 10 from Miami on a seven-day family summer vacation trip.
Nickelodeon is a unit of MTV Networks and best known for its TV programs and family-oriented hotels.
The cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s largest ship with more than 4,000 passengers will feature a wide range of Nickelodeon activities and entertainment.
“For the past few years, we’ve been witnessing the coming of age of Nickelodeon families and have been expanding our brand and business to meet their growing entertainment, recreational and vacation needs — from hotels, to theatrical shows, to theme parks,” said Cyma Zarghami, President, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group, who added:
“Taking to the seas with our first-ever family cruise with Royal Caribbean was the natural next step for us. Combined with the ground-breaking of our first Marriott Hotel and the opening of the biggest indoor theme park in the country at the Mall of America, Nickelodeon will be offering more family experiences this year than ever before.”
The “Nickelodeon Family Cruise by Royal Caribbean” will offer an experience complete with Nick-themed on-board activities such as live game shows featuring the trademark Nickelodeon slime; visits with kids’ Nick characters like Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants; and appearances by the network’s live-action stars.
Freedom of the Seas also offers a multitude of activities, including the FlowRider surf simulator, the H2O Zone water park, an ice skating rink, a nine-hole mini-golf course, 10-route rock-climbing wall, and full-size basketball court.
