Hello Kitty is heading to the high seas in a collaboration that will see the iconic, moon-faced character emblazoned on a trio of cruise ships for Chinese guests.
Over the course of two years, fans will be able to set sail in the fantasy Hello Kitty world aboard the Costa Atlantica, Costa Serena or Costa Fortuna, all vessels based in China.
Guests will sleep in Hello Kitty-themed cabins with walls, doors, dolls, sheets and pillows bearing her image.
The partnership is set for two years and launches this summer.
It's the latest travel-related expansion for the Japanese franchise. Hello Kitty -- which company Sanrio insists is not a cat, but a human -- is also emblazoned on jets for Eva Air in Taiwan.
