The recent Carnival Celebration Cruise Ship visit, presented jointly by Tourism Corporation Bonaire (TCB), Buki di pret Bonaire has ignited a spark of excitement among Bonaire’s young residents. On August 14^th, almost 80 children between the ages of 4 and 13 were given a special opportunity to explore a real cruise ship and experience the vibrant Carnival Celebration up close.

Following the success of last year’s event, we were thrilled to repeat this enriching experience, giving more youth in our community the chance to be inspired and learn about the cruise industry. The enthusiasm and positive feedback from last year highlighted the impact such an event can have, encouraging us to bring it back for an even broader group of participants.

The event was a unique blend of fun and learning. Kids stepped onto an actual cruise ship, discovering its different sections and gaining insights into how ships operate and the world of hospitality. Moreover, the participants got an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the preparations for the island’s eagerly anticipated Carnival Celebration.

Miles Mercera, CEO of TCB, expressed, “Collaborating with Buki di Pret for this event was a wonderful experience. Witnessing the kids’ curiosity and enthusiasm reinforces the importance of creating such experiences. These events have a lasting impact on our young community, inspiring them to explore and dream big.”

TCB would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Carnival Corporation, Buki di Pret, the parents, the children, the Harbor office, and everyone else who supported and assisted in making this event possible.

Safety was a top priority throughout the day, with expert professionals ensuring the well-being of each child. For updates on upcoming events and activities, visit our official Facebook page: Tourism Corporation Bonaire.
