The Cartoon Network recently launched 'Cartoon Network Wave,' a travelling cruise ship that is inspired by some of the network's hit TV shows. The ship will allow families to have a meal at a 'Johnny Bravo' themed restaurant, play with the 'Powerpuff Girls' and run through the Animal Kingdom.
With 11 decks that will house up to 2,000 guests in 800 fully-themed rooms, the ship is packed with fun for the entire family. Setting sail in late 2018 from the Singapore Cruise Center, this new ship will be making stops throughout multiple Asia-Pacific locations. Prices are starting at $150 a night and pre-booking is available online now. The Cartoon Network Wave will let people of all ages explore their favorite imaginary worlds while shopping, relaxing, partying, eating, sleeping and drinking.
