The Transformers brand is recognisable and popular enough that it's ready to head out on high seas, along with sibling Hasbro franchise My Little Pony, on a cruise ship! Fellow Seibertronian xRotorstormx sends us notification from cruise company website Carnival.com, and you can check out more info below.

Straight out of the imagination of millions — and exclusively onto Carnival Imagination from July 13 to September 17 — the stars of family-faves Transformers and My Little Pony come together in the name of big interactive fun this summer. Cruise with us and your favorites will sail along with you… and they’ll bring along a whole bunch of fun activities for the whole family!

You’ll enjoy a series of character-themed midway-style games to test your skills, plus mask-making, face-painting, oversized puzzles and more! Grab some popcorn and kick back for a special movie screening, up on our big screen, during your cruise. And the experience wouldn’t be complete without live character meet-and-greets — say hi and pose for a photo with some of your favorite Autobots, Decepticons and My Little Pony stars.

First-Ever 'Carnival Playtime' Event Featuring My Little Pony and Transformers-Inspired Activities to Take Place Aboard Carnival Imagination This Summer

Carnival Imagination will serve as the venue for the first-ever “Carnival Playtime” event featuring fun activities and games inspired by the MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS brands. “Carnival Playtime” will take place on three- and four-day voyages of the Carnival Imagination departing Long Beach July 13 to September 17.

An expansion of the collaboration between Hasbro and licensee Carnival, the interactive, fun-for-all “Carnival Playtime” activities will be patterned after popular MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS characters and will include midway-style games including Rainbow Dash’s cupcake toss, Knock out the Autobots and Target the Enemy, along with face-painting, prizes, music and more.

Character meet and greets will provide kids and parents alike with unforgettable photo opportunities with TRANSFORMERS characters Optimus Prime and BumbleBee as well as MY LITTLE PONY characters Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. A special screening of Transformers: Age of Extinction movie will also be shown on board. All-new MY LITTLE PONY and TRANSFORMERS-inspired activities will take place in Camp Ocean as well, creating special memories for younger cruisers.

Carnival Imagination’s schedule from Long Beach includes three-day cruises departing Thursdays to Ensenada and four-day voyages visiting Ensenada and Catalina Island.

We have already covered the Carnival Cruise Transformers themed Carnival Playtime before, but we now also have a promotional clip of the activities taking place on deck - and the design the costumes are sporting, very very similar to the Cyberverse / Cyber Battalion ones appearing across news outlets. Check it out for yourselves below, and let us know what you think!
