Princess Cruise Lines News Wii Fit
Enthusiastic passengers aboard Star Princess are among the first to
try out the new Wii Fit system.
Princess Passengers Are First Cruisers to Experience Nintendo’s Hugely
Popular Wii Fit™ Game System
Innovative Fitness Program Debuts This Week Fleetwide; Makes Exercise
Fun for the Whole Family
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (June 24, 2008) – After the much-anticipated Wii
Fit™ system debuted across the country last month, Princess unveils
this fitness innovation at sea this week after shipboard staff
completed special onboard trainings with Nintendo team members.
Princess is the first cruise line to offer passengers the chance to
get their hearts pumping with the headline-grabbing new release on
Wii™.
All Princess ships, which have long featured Nintendo’s popular Wii
systems onboard, add the revolutionary Wii Fit balance games,
challenging passengers of all ages to put their athletic skills to the
test with active video game tournaments such as the ski jump, Hula
Hoop® or heading soccer balls. Exciting family competitions will be
held onboard – including on the dramatic Movies Under the Stars
poolside screens. Youth and teen centers will also offer younger
cruisers the opportunity to participate in Wii Fit activities
throughout their vacation.
“We’re very excited to partner with Nintendo to bring the Wii Fit
experience to our passengers,” said Jan Swartz, Princess senior vice
president. “Our onboard team has just finished training with the
experts at Nintendo to ensure that we’re able to offer passengers the
best possible experience with this innovative fitness game.”
Wii Fit gets everyone pumped up about making physical activities an
enjoyable part of their daily routines. Wii Fit even tracks users’
progress, which lets people see how they’ve improved while challenging
them to better their scores and stay motivated to keep going.
The Wii Fit Balance Board™ is a precisely engineered platform that
senses both weight and shifts in movement and balance. It connects
wirelessly to the Wii console and serves as the centerpiece for more
than 40 fun activities that challenge users in areas like yoga,
aerobics, strength training and balance. Helpful virtual trainers in
the game talk users through the different motions and makes
suggestions for improvements.
The hugely popular Wii system has been instrumental in expanding the
video game experience across generations and genders. “Kids” of all
ages have enjoyed playing games such as Wii Sports™ Golf and Tennis
using the unique Wii Remote™, which enables a player’s movements to
directly affect what happens on screen.
On ships equipped with Movies Under the Stars screen, the Wii
tournaments are shown on the giant poolside screens, offering a
unique, larger-than-life gaming experience. The distinctive 300-square-
foot screens are featured on Caribbean Princess, Crown Princess,
Emerald Princess, Grand Princess, Sea Princess and the upcoming Ruby
Princess, offering a variety of movies and events daily, including
family films and first run hits, as well as concert footage and other
special programming
