Carnival Cruise Line and Build-A-Bear Workshop have a new partnership that will bring Build-A-Bear Workshops to Carnival’s fleet. 

The first Build-A-Bear Workshop At Sea is being rolled out aboard Carnival Dream and is expected to be fleetwide aboard all 25 Carnival ships by summer 2017.

The Build-A-Bear Workshop At Sea provides children of all ages an opportunity to make their own cuddly bear that can be customized with a variety of outfits and accessories, from tutus and high-top sneakers to vacation wear like bathing suits and sunglasses. 

Each bear comes complete with its own “birth certificate” with the bear’s name and date he or she was created, as well as a logoed drawstring bag.  Additionally, the bears have their own “voice” via a recordable sound chip with children recording their own special message.

Children can also create monkeys, leopards, turtles and other furry friends, as well as a St. Jude Bear with proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, one of Carnival’s primary charitable partners.

Participants can make their custom-designed bears at pop-up Build-A-Bear Workshop At Sea workstations located within the Camp Ocean facilities or join the ships’ cruise directors with Build-A-Bear At Sea parties held each cruise and offering music, bear-themed snacks and photo opportunities. The pop-up workstations are set up at designated times throughout the cruise and include everything to make a bear with racks filled with various outfits and accessories as well as a stuffer that allows participants to add soft stuffing.

Prices for the bears start at $20 with outfits and accessories starting at $5.
