Carnival Corporation has officially launched a new digital steaming channel for guests onboard their cruise ships and globally for viewers via the steaming app OceanView.
Original shows from Carnival Corporation’s OceanView channel are now available on major digital streaming platforms Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Roku. Additionally, as the world’s largest cruise company with nine iconic cruise line brands such as Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises, OceanView will also debut on more than half of its 103 cruise ships. OceanView content also will be available in late October on the company’s Ocean.com website.
OceanView features a slate of more than 100 acclaimed “Ocean Original” episodes produced by Carnival Corporation. The lineup includes the company’s four original series that have been broadcast on network and cable TV over the past year, as well as two new direct-to-digital streaming original series, “GO” and “Local Eyes.”
OceanView also will showcase video collections from the corporation’s cruise brands, with viewers able to check out majestic new-ship christening ceremonies featuring royalty and celebrities, as well as the fascinating process of ship design and construction, elaborate culinary creations from world-renown chefs and ever-evolving, pushing-the-envelope ship attractions.
Carnival Corporation will celebrate the official availability of OceanView on Thursday with an event in Times Square that synchronizes multiple digital billboards to showcase the new streaming channel, as well as an activation center where people can learn more. The company will also use the event to demonstrate its new PlayOcean interactive gaming platform – also unveiled in an announcement from the company today – including two new mobile apps and onboard, location-based experiences for guests.
Carnival Corporation’s original TV series, which debuted in fall 2016 and are now available on OceanView, recently were honored with 10 Telly Awards, which recognize the best in TV and cable, digital and streaming, and non-broadcast productions.
