Celebrity Cruises has partnered with The Nerdel Company to offer a new wellness program aimed at children featuring a puppet named Nerdel. The program is divided into two groups — Shipmates, for children from age 3 to 5, and Cadets for kids 6 to 8.  Nerdel activities include a video by the chef puppet followed by a healthy pizza-making class, live puppet performances, puppet workshops, and lessons on the art of puppeteering.  Developed by a team of doctors, nutritionists, chefs, fitness professionals, educators and entertainment experts, The Nerdel Company aims to address the issues of children’s obesity, hunger, fitness and health in an educational and entertaining way. Celebrity introduced the program on the new Celebrity Silhouette, which debuted in Europe this summer, and plans to launch the program on its other ships by October 15 (with the exception of Celebrity Xpedition which sails in the Galapagos Islands).
