As part of their collaboration, they will create 'Discovery At Sea', featuring interactive onboard activities and special shore excursions.
The new cruises will feature themed tours, science activities as well as hands-on programs and games based on Discovery's TVprogrammes, such as Shark Week, Mythbusters and Deadliest Catch.
A variety of activities will be available, including:
Discovery Under the Stars – Guests on select cruise vacations will forever look up at the night sky in a whole new way after this cosmic voyage from the ship’s top deck.
Shark Week at Sea – This experience will challenge adults and kids alike, testing their knowledge of the ocean with trivia games and a variety of themed activities.
Baking at Sea with TLC – All ages will be able to join in the fun of learning to bake and decorate cakes by the best pastry chefs at sea.
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 popular foods 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 fun and engaging science experiments made popular by Mythbusters; Animal Planet themed activities; brain teasers and competitions; and videos, puzzles, games and apps from Discovery.
The new Discovery At Sea partnership will be debuting on Princess Cruises’ ships in early 2015.
This is such an exciting partnership between our two companies because we are both passionate about exploring the world. Discovery’s brands resonate with a growing, global audience and we’ll be bringing some of their most popular programmes to life for our guests in the context of the destinations they are visiting on their cruise. We’re creating meaningful and memorable shared experiences while also fueling a lifelong passion for travel.
From science and nature to baking, crafting and exploration, the Discovery brands truly provide something for every cruiser to enjoy. This partnership is the perfect integration of our brands into the amazing offering Princess provides its guests onboard, creating a truly unique experience igniting curiosity on every voyage.
