More and more families are taking to the high seas for family cruises. The attractions are many:
  • kids programs and teen centers
  • (nearly) all-inclusive pricing
  • interesting shore outings

Nickelodeon, meanwhile, is the ultra-popular kids' TV channel with characters adored by kids: SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer, to name just two. Nickelodeon has many other entertainment ventures and "Nick" is a major brand.

Nickelodeon also has a number of ventures in the travel industry, offering Nick-themed fun to family vacationers. The Nickelodeon Suites Resort in Orlando, for example, is a top draw with families.

Nick-Themed Cruises

The Royal Caribbean International cruise line partnered with Nickelodeon for an inaugural cruise in 2008 and since then, Nickelodeon has partnered with at least one other cruise line, NCI (Norwegian Cruise Line.)

Nick-themed activities onboard might include:

  • Nick Jr. activities for wee kids
  • interactive game shows
  • plenty of Nickelodeon's signature sliming
  • poolside games
  • meet-and-greets and performances by favorite characters inluding SpongeBob SquarePants
  • screenings of Nick TV shows and movies

  • Check to see current Nick Cruise options.
