Media giant Turner partnered with Oceanic Group to create the first full-branded Cartoon Network cruise ship. The young and young-at-heart will enjoy theming after characters such as the Powerpuff Girls and Adventure Time.
The ship accommodates 2,000 passengers and offers 11 restaurants and bars across 11 guest decks.
The ship is based in Singapore, and sets sail to 13 Asia-Pacific destinations, including Malaysia, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, China and Australia. The first trip is scheduled for later this year.
The ship, Cartoon Network Wave, is branded as “the world’s first immersive Toon vacation at sea and an adventure with … favorite Cartoon Network Stars.”
“A homegrown cruise project, Cartoon Network Wave heralds the start of a new vacation experience for cruise-goers in Asia, where cruise travel meets personalized journeys through experiential storytelling. With Singapore’s position as a cruise hub in Asia, we believe it is only fitting that we dive right in and ride the surging tide of this passenger cruise wave,” said Daniel Chui, CEO, Oceanic Group. “Cartoon Network Wave will revolutionize cruise travel in the Asia-Pacific region and create and curate new cruise experiences for holiday makers, cruise-goers and generations of pop culture fans.”
“Turner is always looking at new ways to bring our characters to life — and Cartoon Network Wave will be their home on the high seas. The ship has remarkable potential to offer our existing fans a truly unique immersive experience, as well as create new ones. We couldn’t be more excited by the partnership with Oceanic Group in jointly creating a world first,” said Ricky Ow, president, Turner Asia Pacific.
“The debut of Cartoon Network Wave as a new homegrown cruise product is testament to the vitality of Singapore as Southeast Asia’s leading cruise hub. It will also augment Singapore’s appeal as a top family destination by adding to the diversity of Singapore’s line-up of offerings. We look forward to more family visitors coming from the region with Cartoon Network Wave’s exciting deployment here,” added Yap Chin Siang, assistant CEO, policy and planning group, Singapore Tourism Board.
