Could your kid’s name net them a free cruise? The Wiggles x Royal Caribbean Wiggly-themed cruises will shout a free holiday for children called Henry, Dorothy or Shirley – the namesake of beloved Wiggles Friends characters.
The ‘kids sail free’ offer for Henrys, Dorothys and Shirleys is available on three specially themed The Wiggles x Royal Caribbean cruises departing from Brisbane on Quantum of the Seas or Sydney on Anthem of the Seas for the upcoming 2026-27 summer season.
Celebrating the second year of the partnership, featured sailings are a four-night Brisbane to Airlie Beach cruise, departing 30 November 2026; a four-night Sydney to Hobart itinerary, departing 1 March 2027; and a seven-night Brisbane to South Pacific holiday, departing 19 March 2027.
Dorothy the Dinosaur, Henry the Octopus and Shirley the Unicorn will helm an action-packed The Wiggles x Royal Caribbean program designed for young families.
This includes a Sail Away party with DJ Dorothy, live shows and family discos, photo opps and meet-and-greets with Wiggly Friends and The Wiggles, including Tsehay Hawkins (Yellow Wiggle), Lucia Field (Blue Wiggle), Caterina Mete (Red Wiggle) and The Tree of Wisdom.
Royal Caribbean ANZ Senior Marketing Director Kathryn Lock said: “With the rise of vintage names like Dorothy, Henry and Shirley, we saw a playful opportunity to celebrate this trend while offering families a unique chance to connect with their favourite Wiggles and Wiggly characters.”
“The three exclusive sailings will mark the second year of this exciting partnership, bringing more unforgettable adventures for all ages. We can’t wait to welcome families on board for the Ultimate Wiggly Adventure.”
