To celebrate the release of “The Smurfs 2” this summer, MSC Cruises is treating MSC Divina’s youngest guests to a truly Smurf-tastic adventure on the high seas. (Children 11 and under sail free year-round on MSC, making this an additional special treat for parents alike!)

As the only cruise ship to boast a Smurf-themed Mini and Junior Club, the release of the Smurfs’ latest hilarious 3D adventures is the perfect opportunity for MSC Divina to take blue and white fun to exclusive new levels.

Starting end of August 2013, kids will enjoy a series of uniquely tailored programs, featuring numerous fun-filled family activities with the ship’s giant Smurf mascot as the guest of honor. In November 2013, when MSC Divina starts her Caribbean season from Miami, Smurf activities will be extended all season long.

From DJ to sous-chef, the onboard mascot will take on a number of key roles during family events, ranging from the Smurfs Family Disco, the Smurfs Live Talent Show, and Smurfs Master Chef - a special cooking demonstration held by the head pastry chef in which children learn how to make biscuits and cakes with a special hands-on experience. Arts and crafts sessions, utilizing official Smurf 2 materials will be an entertaining way to get creative.

Guests will be able to sing along to their favorite tunes from The Smurf 2 Official Soundtrack, including Britney Spears’ “Ooh la la,” during the Family Disco and Smurfs Parade. Those who haven’t yet seen the Smurfs’ latest escapades will be given a glimpse of what they’re missing, with the movie trailer shown in the ship’s bars and lounges during family activities.
