Wild Dolphins & Mermaids Swim

Mermaid & Dolphin by Gabriella Lennep

Have you ever dreamed of being a mermaid and swimming with dolphins out in the deep blue sea? That lifelong dream can become a reality and lasting memory when you when you join our new wiki Wild Dolphins & Mermaids cruise. Departing Port Canaveral (Orland) Florida, we'll set sail for Freeport in the Bahamas where we'll spend a full day. While there, we'll take part in an Open Ocean Dolphin Swim booked through our Carnival Cruise ship. Excursion highlights include:

• Enjoy a 20-minute boat ride through the beautiful canals of Grand Bahama Island or along the South Shore of the island (depending on weather).  
• Arrive at Sanctuary Bay, where you will meet your dolphin trainer and listen to a brief orientation before heading out into the open ocean.  
• Watch for dolphins jumping and playing in the boat’s wake as you ride out.  
• Once the boat comes to a stop, you’ll enter the crystal clear water, approximately 20-25 feet deep, to swim with the beautiful Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins.  

This abbreviated cruise is all about the dolphins, and we will devote the bulk of our time to getting to know them. While on the ship we'll dive into the history and lore, the facts and fables of these beloved oceanic beauties. We'll even make an attempt to speak their language! Plus, we'll do our best to avail ourselves of as many of the ship's amenities as possible. After all, we're mermaids gone wild!

Siren School was included at the top of Yahoo Shine's video segment, Live out your childhood dreams at summer camps made for grown-ups. The piece covered everything from Equestrian Camp to ...well, us!

Senior Editor Piper Weiss said that we enable you sirens to "live out your fairy tale dreams." ... I can live with that *wink*

Thank you, Shine ladies!

So long fangs, hello fins

by J.S. Devivre

Bella the mermaid from the TV Show 'H2O, Just Add Water'

"Mermaids surface as the next big thing," reads the headline of Carol Memmott's article in USA Today. "From books to movies to blogs to gatherings, mermaids are making a big splash in popular culture this summer."

"Fringe no longer, mermaids are poised to challenge vampires as pop—and commercial—icons," writes Joel Stein of Businessweek's Bloomberg report, "...mermaids are about to swamp vampires and zombies as supernatural rainmakers in popular culture....

Building off the buzz from this year’s installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise—which featured a plethora of bad-ass, sailor-drowning mermaids played by models—mermaid-fueled projects are piling up. Twilight author Stefanie Meyer says her next book is all mermaid. Joe Wright, who directed Atonement, is planning a live-action, dark version of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid; Tobey Maguire is producing a rival, also dark, also live-action Little Mermaid. In June, Disneyland launched a new Little Mermaid ride and will add one to Disney World in 2012. Photographer Mark Anderson is releasing a book—available as an iPhone app—called M: Mermaids of Hollywood, that features Anna Faris, the Kardashians, Kristen Bell, and others in tails."

... Are we beginning to notice a trend here?

"'Mermaiding', or swimming in mermaid [tails], seems to be gaining popularity..."  

"This is a relatively new form of entertainment that has only recently been gaining popularity around the world." 

And according to Stephan Lee of EW.com, this is "the year mermaids swim into movies, books, fashion..... and maybe your local swimming pool."

So is it any wonder we will be hosting weeklong Mermaid Camps and weekend getaways next Spring and Summer?  Our neophyte routine has just been choreographed, complete with props... and we are nearly jumping out of our fish skin with impatient excitement to flex our fins and splash our tails with you.  Be sure to sign up early. These meraculously fun events are sure to sell out barracuda fast!

If you'd like to flip your fins with us online, splash on over to our Facebook page and say hello.  That goes for you L'il Mermaids too!
