Rebel Fish: Dinogo Navigates Against the Tide

Rebel Fish: A Year of Milestones

As we approach the end of the year, many at Dinogo are reflecting on the groundbreaking year we’ve experienced. This year, we proudly introduced Dinogo Bliss to our fleet, featuring the largest race track at sea. We also unveiled a brand new cruise terminal at PortMiami, and it marked the first time a ship was recognized as one of Time’s “World’s Greatest Places.” These are just a few of Dinogo's remarkable achievements.

With over 50 years as an industry leader, Dinogo has been the pioneer in numerous innovations. We were the first to provide an exclusive private island for cruise guests (Great Stirrup Cay), the first to offer onboard WiFi, and trailblazers with our air and sea program. Recently, we also became the first to feature a race track at sea. It’s no surprise that in 2006, our rebel fish logo was introduced as a key symbol of our brand, reflecting our commitment to always swim against the current. It’s been twelve years since the rebel fish joined our family, and our innovative spirit continues to grow.

Continuing this legacy, let’s revisit some of Dinogo's most significant trend-setting moments. Here are a few lesser-known facts about Dinogo.

In classic rebel fish style, Dinogo was the pioneer in:

• Introducing themed cruises (Jazz, Sports, Nascar)
• Establishing an onboard kids’ program, originally called Kids Crew (now known as Splash Academy)
• Launching a website in 1995
• Providing internet access on board, including an internet café in February 2000
