Carnival Celebration is introducing an expanded youth programme including new enrichment activities for children, teens and families.
The cruise line’s “most expansive offerings to date” include improvements to its popular Dr. Seuss Bookville, and a new turtle conservation programme with special play activities.
Dr. Seuss Bookville is already one of the most popular activities for Carnival’s youngest cruisers, and now it will be more unique and interactive as iconic characters from the world of Dr. Seuss come to life.
Thing One and Thing Two will help families put on their very own circus, while The Cat in the Hat stops by to conduct a science experiment and Sam-I-Am leads a hunt for green eggs.
Children can also look forward to a new Nautical Explorer programme that will focus on exciting, marine-themed activities.
This includes designing their own cruise ship, learning all about nautical flags and how to use a compass and meeting with a ship’s officer.
Building on the success of its Holi Festival Of Colours, the cruise line will introduce another immersive cultural experience for teens inspired by the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan.
At Circle “C,” younger teens (ages 12-14) will participate in fun activities like anime drawing lessons and pop culture games.
Teens in the 15-17 age group will enjoy an authentic tea ceremony, Japanese crafts, and games to encourage new friendships at Club O2.
Similar enrichment programs for teens will be offered fleetwide by the spring of 2023.
Another exciting debut is a children’s space programme in partnership with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, which brings activities inspired by NASA science on board.
Many of the new offerings will be implemented fleetwide by spring 2023.
Melissa Mahaffey, Director of Youth Experience for Carnival Cruise Line, said:
“The updates we’re making to our youth programming ensure our young cruisers have even more to be excited about when they come aboard.
“We’ve already seen early success with our launch on Carnival Celebration, and I’m looking forward to expanding the reach of our new additions to families sailing with us across our fleet.”
