Mermaid academy

Families will be treated to a slew of interesting and fascinating activities on-board. That’s right this includes meeting a professional mermaid! Hailing from Germany, Mermaid Kat travels around the world to swim alongside sea creatures like dolphins, whales and even sharks. She also established the world’s first Mermaid Academy in 2012.

Children will get to don their own mermaid tails and attend workshops run by Mermaid Kat, where they will learn underwater movement techniques. Be sure to attend her live demonstrations as well as her captivating talks about the environment and her journey to becoming a professional mermaid. Furthermore, families can get a chance to have photos taken with Mermaid Kat as well, so don’t forget to bring your smiles along!

NASA Space academy

But if you’re not interested in exploring the ocean, perhaps you’d want to know more about the outer space! Formerly a NASA astronaut, Dr. Leroy Chiao was the first Asian-American commander of the International Space Station. He will be sharing his insights on space exploration and also incredible stories of his voyages in space. This will certainly be an enthralling experience for both kids and parents alike!

There will be an interactive space camp for families to join, and children can also attend exciting workshops where they will get to design their own spacesuits, create their own galaxies and even design their own aliens. Sounds like fun? You bet!
