Royal Caribbean Invites Adventurers To Come Seek

By

-

Royal Caribbean is launching a new brand campaign inviting these seekers to “Come Seek” their own experience filled with adventure, exploration and discovery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdT93zG0Uis

“Come Seek” reflects the brand’s adventurous spirit by placing the traveler’s personal experience and point of view at the heart of the campaign. It also showcases the essence of the experience that the brand has been delivering for more than 40 years. Known for its innovation – including the revolutionary Oasis- and Quantum-class ships – and delivering many industry-firsts from ziplines and rock climbing walls, the FlowRider surf simulator and the RipCord by iFly skydiving experience, to leading technological breakthroughs like VOOM – the fastest internet at sea, Royal Caribbean continues to transform the cruise experience offering an active adventure with an immersive experience and connectivity that all travelers desire.

“Our mission is to challenge misperceptions and invite the next generation of travelers to experience the unique Royal Caribbean adventure,” said Michael Bayley, president & CEO, Royal Caribbean International.

“Our loyal guests recognize that Royal Caribbean is an adventure designed to inspire and excite the senses. With our new campaign, we will show these new travelers what our guests already know and love.”

Even as the cruise industry has grown on the strength of new ships and modern program offerings, the reality is that a majority of the population – particularly the millennial generation – has never taken a cruise. The new campaign is not only an invitation from Royal Caribbean to “Come Seek,” but aims squarely at conventions that may inhibit continued growth.

The integrated marketing campaign includes broadcast, digital and outdoor advertising, in addition to public relations, social media and direct marketing. The multi-million dollar campaign will debut on Monday, October 19th with a series of broadcast and online ads, including a first-of-its-kind live streaming outdoor campaign delivered via the social platform Periscope.

“Come Seek” is a call to travelers who want more than to sightsee along the beaten path. It’s for adventurers who don’t just want, but require, immersive, culturally rich travel. Royal Caribbean delivers adventure both onboard and with exciting and culturally rich experiences in destinations around the world. Seekers are introduced to these destinations with experiential excursions, such as an Ocean Racing Experience in Antigua, which matches two guest teams of six each with professional yachties in head to head competition, and a Mountain Top Downhill Trek through historic plantation ruins in St. Maarten.

For a sneak peek of the “Come Seek” campaign elements visit Royal Caribbean’s You Tube page.

Royal Caribbean International is an award-winning global cruise brand with a 46-year legacy of innovation and introducing industry “firsts” never before seen at sea. The cruise line features an expansive and unmatched array of features and amenities only found on Royal Caribbean including, jaw-dropping, Broadway-style entertainment and industry-acclaimed programming that appeals to families and adventurous vacationers alike. Onboard, guests are catered to with the cruise line’s world-renowned friendly and engaging Gold Anchor Service by every staff and crew member. Royal Caribbean has been voted “Best Cruise Line Overall” for 12 consecutive years in the Travel Weekly Readers Choice Awards.

Legends in Concert aboard NCL

Norwegian Cruise Line debuts new production of popular tribute show

Legends in Concert aboard NCLThe iconic tribute show, Legends in Concert, is now honored to call Norwegian Pearl home on the high seas. After five successful years aboard Norwegian Epic, the show has now made its way to Norwegian Pearl.

A staple on Las Vegas’ center strip for the past 32 years, Legends in Concert is known as the pioneer of live tribute shows and has assembled the greatest collection of live tribute artists and celebrity look-alikes in the industry.

“Norwegian Cruise Line is committed to pushing the envelope to provide the highest quality of entertainment at sea,” said Richard Ambrose, Vice President of Entertainment and Cruise Programming for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. “Norwegian Epic revolutionized the cruise industry by being the first ship to offer branded entertainment experiences like Legends in Concert; we are thrilled to continue that legacy and bring this guest favorite to Norwegian Pearl.”

The brand new Legends in Concert production aboard Norwegian Pearl features three legendary tribute artists paying homage to the “Material Girl” Madonna, Elton John and the “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” Tina Turner.

“We are honored to have another year-round Legends in Concert production aboard Norwegian Pearl as a part of our long-term multi-dimensional partnership with Norwegian,” said Brian Brigner, Chief Operating Officer for Legends in Concert. “We will have the highest quality tribute acts in the world performing on Norwegian Pearl, and they will be joined by the always electrifying Legends singers and dancers and a rockin’ live band.”

The perfect home for Legends in Concert Norwegian Pearl is home to many music festivals and theme cruises throughout her 2015/2016 fall/winter season. In addition, Norwegian will sail a number of itineraries through the Panama Canal for the 2015/2016 fall/winter season. During the summer months of 2016, Norwegian Pearl will sail a seven-day roundtrip itinerary to Alaska from Seattle.

Legends in Concert

Recently voted Best Tribute Show in the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas 2015 poll, Legends in Concert, celebrating 32 years of success, is the longest-running independently owned production show in Las Vegas history. Owned and operated by On Stage Enterprises, LLC, Legends in Concert debuted at Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino in 1983 and later moved to Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino in 2013 in conjunction with the show’s 30-year anniversary. Initially introduced as a limited six week engagement, this Las Vegas staple now performs 10 shows a week, year round. Packed with all-star talent and powerhouse vocals from some of the world’s top tribute artists, the legendary show entertains audiences of all ages. The legend-look-a-likes perform using their own natural voices, and are backed by a live band that rocks the house with vivacious back-up singers and dancers who bring the performances to life. In addition to Las Vegas, On Stage produces Legends shows in such markets as Branson, Foxwoods Resort Casino, Long Island, Myrtle Beach, Niagara Falls, in Waikiki at the Royal Hawaiian Theater, on the high seas aboard Norwegian Pearl, and produces the acclaimed theatrical production Elvis Lives: http://elvislivestour.com.  For further information visit www.legendsinconcert.com.
