FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.,
June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In
celebration of the 30th anniversary of Discovery Channel's Shark
Week, television's longest running must-see summer event, Princess
Cruises has transformed Shark Week into a full season, with its
first-ever "Summer of Shark" onboard Caribbean Princess for its
summer sailings in the Caribbean.
This past weekend Princess Cruises in partnership with
Discovery, Inc., unveiled a Phillip
Colbert-designed shark decal on the starboard surface of the
Caribbean Princess ship during the official launch of its "Summer
of Shark" activities, honoring these magnificent underwater
creatures.
As part of the Discovery at SEA program, Caribbean Princess will
be the one ship in the fleet that will be celebrating sharks all
summer. She will have special themed designed public spaces
including elevators, restaurants and casino tables. Additionally,
select sailings in Alaska and the
United Kingdom will have Shark
Week rolled out starting July 7. Guests onboard all ships
will also get to view programming from Shark Week 2018 including
"Great White Abyss," available exclusively on Princess Cruises in
June, in advance of it airing on the Discovery Channel during Shark
Week, which begins July 22.
Children and teens aboard these sailings will have shark-themed
fun in the newly redesigned Camp Discovery teen and youth centers.
Kids ages 3 – 17 can turn into their favorite type of shark with
glitter tattoos and shark face painting, or create arts and crafts
to take home, including shark teeth jewelry and shark clay models.
Adults can get into the spirit with specialty cocktails that have
been carefully curated onboard including a Shark Attack Margarita
and the tropical Great Blue Shark.
Beyond these Shark Week themed cruises, those looking to have
their very own Shark Week experiences can book the ultimate
adrenaline rush with Animal Planet Exclusive and Recommended
excursions such as the Princess Exclusive Great White Shark Diving
Encounter in Honolulu or
Whale Shark Encounter in La Paz,
Mexico.
Each year, Shark Week takes fascinated viewers on a week-long
journey to the depths of the sea to uncover the secrets of the
ocean's top creature. Airing around the globe, Shark Week is a pop
culture phenomenon that thrills fans of all ages with dynamic
programming around these often-misunderstood sea creatures.
