The first Dr. Seuss WaterWorks Park will debut on the new Carnival Horizon in 2018.

When Carnival Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Carnival Horizon, sets sail next year, it will feature the world’s first Dr. Seuss WaterWorks water park.

The 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon will be the first in the fleet to feature Dr. Seuss WaterWorks, a water park inspired by the whimsical world and words of the legendary children’s author. The 3,934-passenger vessel is set to debut in Europe April 2, 2018.

Located on Deck 12, Carnival Horizon’s Dr. Seuss WaterWorks will offer two different slides. The Cat in the Hat slide will feature an enclosed raft slide offering more than 450 feet of twists and turns. The entrance resembles The Cat’s famous red and white hat with the distinctive color pattern carried throughout the slide in alternating translucent and opaque sections. The Fun Things slide will be a 213 foot long enclosed body slide with polka dots and special lighting effects and named after the mischievous duo Thing 1 and Thing 2.

Dr. Seuss WaterWorks will also include a 150-gallon tipping bucket patterned after The Cat’s hat, along with a kiddie splash zone with dozens of water spray toys. Larger-than-life images of famous Dr. Seuss characters – including The Cat in the Hat holding an inner tube, The Grinch sporting a surf board tucked under his arm, and Thing 1 and Thing 2 frolicking atop their namesake slide – will greet visitors as they enter the park, with Dr. Seuss phrases displayed on clear partitions that surround the facility.

“Our ships are designed as the ultimate seagoing playgrounds and Carnival Horizon will take this concept to the next level with the spectacular Dr. Seuss WaterWorks which promises fun for guests of all ages,” said Carnival President Christine Duffy. “Dr. Seuss is an iconic American brand and we’re delighted to expand our partnership with this incredible top-deck water attraction for our guests.”

Added Dr. Seuss Enterprises President Susan Brandt, “We’re excited to build upon our relationship with Carnival by introducing our first-ever water park. Dr. Seuss is all about family fun and togetherness and we can’t wait to see our characters come to life in this colorful and exciting space.”
