Royal Caribbean announced today that it is expanding its relationship with DreamWorks Animation to include the DreamWorks Experience to a sixth-ship, Mariner of the Seas in May 2013.
Royal Caribbean first formed a partnership with DreamWorks in November 2010 to bring their characters to Royal Caribbean's ships. These include Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas and recently Voyager of the Seas.
The DreamWorks Experience offers passengers parades, themed activities and events based on DreamWorks Animation’s popular feature-film characters, including Po of “Kung Fu Panda;” Shrek, Fiona and Puss In Boots of “Shrek;” and Alex the Lion, Gloria the Hippo, and the Penguins from “Madagascar.” Each ship also is equipped with a 3-D movie theater playing the latest DreamWorks Animation films.
“Royal Caribbean is the only cruise line to offer the DreamWorks Experience to vacationers throughout the world and we are delighted to expand our partnership with DreamWorks,” said Lisa Bauer, executive vice president of Global Sales and Marketing, Royal Caribbean International. “The DreamWorks Experience really resonates with our guests since we launched it aboard Allure of the Seas. We worked with DreamWorks Animation to create an incomparable entertainment experience for our guests, no matter what their age, and their feedback has been nothing short of stellar.”
