Norwegian Cruise Line – considered Europe’s Leading Cruise Line by the World Travel Awards - has welcomed Nickelodeon aboard Norwegian Gem, giving guests the opportunity to cruise with SpongeBob, Patrick, Dora the Explorer and Diego, among other favourite Nickelodeon characters.

The new Nickelodeon experiences on Norwegian Gem include some of the popular family events, shows and activities that were first introduced in April 2010 on Norwegian Jewel and July 2010 on Norwegian Epic, plus an exciting line up of new experiences.

Each cruise features Nickelodeon’s all new Pyjama Jam Character Breakfast.

Upon arriving in the Spinnaker Lounge, guests, who are encouraged to wear their pyjamas, are greeted with a goody bag filled with surprises and props for use during the event.

Donning their pyjamas, Team Nick and the rest of the gang sing and dance while families enjoy their morning meal.

Each child attending the breakfast receives a complimentary, keepsake photograph.

Splash Mobs add a whole new element of surprise, bringing a new energy and excitement to the ship.

These spontaneous, impromptu games are fun for the whole family with pies, slime and other surprises.

Additional elements include Dora’s Dance Party, where children ages six and younger have the chance to sing and dance to their favourite songs with Dora the Explorer and Team Nick; Nickelodeon Character Meet and Greets; Nick Jr. Story Time and Nickelodeon arts and crafts.
