Duolingo and Carnival Cruise Line announce an unprecedented five-year world cruise, visiting all 195 countries across seven continents.
In an ambitious move blending education with exploration, Duolingo has partnered with Carnival Cruise Line to unveil a five-year global cruise. This unprecedented journey promises to visit all 195 countries across seven continents, offering passengers immersive language lessons tailored to each destination. The collaboration aims to combine cultural immersion with linguistic education, allowing travelers to engage authentically with local communities.
The cruise boasts an array of amenities, including region-specific cuisine and entertainment, designed to enhance the cultural experience. Notably, the voyage is set to feature “an unreasonable amount of shrimp,” catering to the culinary delight of passengers. This initiative aligns with a growing trend in the travel industry, where educational tourism is gaining traction among those seeking meaningful and enriching experiences.
However, the announcement’s timing on April 1st raises eyebrows, suggesting a potential jest in line with April Fools’ Day traditions. Duolingo has a history of elaborate pranks, such as the previous year’s “Duolingo on Ice,” a multilingual musical parody that garnered significant attention. While the concept of a five-year global cruise is captivating, prospective travelers should await further confirmation before packing their bags.
