In honor of World Space Week, Carnival Cruise Line announced that it is working with Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to launch a children’s space program this November.
As part of Camp Ocean’s science and discovery programming, the Space Cruisers curriculum, supported by NASA, is designed to enable children of all ages to explore the universe and planet Earth in different ways.
Carnival said that its goal is to have the perfect balance of fun and education to give both younger guests and their families something to be excited about.
The Space Cruisers program will include:
