January 14, 2010 - Norwegian Cruise Line is to feature Nickelodeon-themed family entertainment and programming all year long.
Beginning in April on Norwegian Jewel and this summer on Norwegian Epic, Nickelodeon and NCL experiences for the entire family will include character meet and greets, interactive game shows and more.
The three-year partnership also includes select speciality Nickelodeon-themed cruises each year, featuring Nickelodeon TV stars, show premieres and continuous themed-entertainment on the ship.
NCL chief executive officer Kevin Sheehan said: "Nickelodeon is an incredible family brand that is well-known to kids and parents of all ages. Combining its worldwide appeal with our signature Freestyle Cruising will create the ultimate experience at sea for families."
Nickelodeon at Sea will launch on Norwegian Jewel when the ship begins sailing from New York in late April, and on NCL's latest addition to its fleet, Norwegian Epic, when she launches in July.
Each cruise will feature live Nickelodeon-themed interactive shows, including SlimeTime LIVE! with Nick's signature slime, Nick Live! Poolside entertainment, character breakfasts and meet and greets, Nick-themed dance parties and more. Nickelodeon-themed elements will also be incorporated into NCL's Kids' Crew programme.
In addition to the year-round programming on Norwegian Jewel and Norwegian Epic, occasional Nickelodeon-themed cruises will include special appearances by the network's live talent, show premieres, more live game shows, even more opportunities to visit with kids' favourite Nick characters and much more. The first of these is scheduled on Norwegian Jewel later this year.
