Princess Cruises and Discovery Consumer Products, the licensing arm of pay-TV programmer Discovery Communications, announced their collaboration to create Discovery At Sea, interactive onboard activities and shore excursions to entertain families aboard Princess ships.
The new Discovery At Sea cruise vacations will include themed tours, science activities, hands-on programs and games based on Discovery’s programming. Debuting on Princess Cruises’ ships in early 2015, the interactive experiences are designed to bring to life the nature, wildlife and history of the regions guests are sailing.
Discovery At Sea content will be based on Discovery network properties from Discovery Channel, TLC, Animal Planet and Science Channel. Some of the integrations guests will experience are based on Shark Week, Mythbusters and Deadliest Catch.
Guests will be able to let their imaginations set sail with a variety of activities including:
- Discovery Under the Stars – Guests on select cruise vacations will have access to a cosmic event on the ship’s top deck.
- Shark Week at Sea – This experience will test the knowledge of adults and kids alike, quizzing them on the ocean with trivia games and a variety of themed activities.
- Baking at Sea with TLC – All ages will be able to learn to bake and decorate cakes.
- Discovery, Animal Planet and Science Channel Shore Excursions - Offerings will include panning for gold on the Gold Rush inspired tour; getting up-close with each destination’s native animals during Animal Planet tours; and learning how food and beverages go from farm to table on Science Channel How It’s Made tours.
- Discovery Kids and Teens Program – Age-appropriate onboard activities will include science experiments made popular by Mythbusters; Animal Planet themed activities; brain teasers and competitions; and videos, puzzles, games and apps from Discovery.
Princess ships will offer a lineup of television programming including hit shows from Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and TLC. Discovery limited-time-only merchandise will also be available onboard, offering passengers a chance to bring home branded keepsake souvenirs.
