Cruise Ships
Carnival is proud to unveil Camp Ocean – an exciting, new marine-themed children’s programme coming to our fleet of 24 ‘Fun Ships’. The expansive new program will immerse children ages 2-11 in the wonders of the sea through fun, engaging and educational experiences.
Camp Ocean will be introduced on Carnival Magic, Carnival Breeze and Carnival Triumph later this year (2014) with the balance of the fleet implemented by 2016, including Carnival Vista which is set to debut in early 2016.
Camp Ocean, which will replace the existing Camp Carnival program, will welcome youngsters in with light blue and white underwater colored spaces and friendly, experienced staff. Three age-related categories will each have their own identity: children ages 2-5 will be dubbed ‘Penguins’, with those ages 6-8 called ‘Sting Rays’ while 9-11 year olds will be ‘Sharks’.
Distinctive areas and activities have been custom-created for each of the new age designations – from miniature play igloos for the Penguins to interactive gaming stations for the Sharks. On Carnival Freedom and Carnival Vista, a new purpose-built Camp Ocean play area will include Party Reef, a common shared space that brings each of the groups together, as well as Creative Cove, a breakout room for arts and crafts activities.
The new Camp Ocean activities span across 11 key categories of play, including the core themes of active play, games, free play, arts and crafts and digital, coupled with additional categories such as role play, music, party time, science and discovery, social and food fun, all designed to find the ideal combination of activities catering to children’s varied interests. More than 200 new ocean-inspired activities will range from educational games such as Sea Creature Discovery, Marine Life Trivia, Under the Sea Mad Libs and Ocean Artifacts Memory Tray to creative arts opportunities such as Design Your Own Aquarium, Make Your Own Sailboat, Sea Salt Art, and Create a Penguin from Oreos.
