Norwegian Launches "Guppies" Program for Children Under Three

 

 

Norwegian Cruise Line's children’s program, Splash Academy, has implemented a brand new “Guppies” program offering interactive programming for kids’ ages six months to three years old. The new program gives parents with children under the age of three the opportunity to engage in sensory-based programs with children including baby art, using organic, vegetable-based “Wee Can Too” art products; baby “Rhyme Time,” where a storyteller recites popular nursery rhymes featuring puppets; and “Motion in the Ocean,”  a parent and baby mini-workout.

Now, for a limited time, families have an extra incentive to book a new cruise reservation in order to experience these new programs by taking advantage of Norwegian’s popular Kid’s Sail Free Sales Event.  For cruises booked now through March 23, 2013, kids ages 17 and under traveling with two adults in the same stateroom cruise free on select sailings. Taking advantage of this special offer gives families the perfect opportunity to experience the all new Guppies program and the rest of the exciting Splash Academy and Entourage program offerings.

Norwegian Cruise Line is also celebrating the fleet-wide implementation of its enhanced Youth and Teen programs, Splash Academy and Entourage. The new programs were announced in February of 2012.

One aspect of the new program is the circus workshop, developed through the partnership with Hilario Productions’ Cirque du Jour, which offers family circus activities. Through the program, children have the opportunity to learn unique skills such as balancing feathers, juggling, plate spinning and stilt walking. Classes take place within the youth program, but a family circus school performed in a circus ring, hosted by the Cruise Director, who acts as ringmaster, is also offered.
