Do children cruise free or at a discount?
Most cruise lines do not offer discounts for children. The major exception is Disney Cruise Line. On Disney ships (with 2 full-fare adults sailing), children under the age of 3 are charged only port fees and taxes; children ages 3-12 sail at a discounted children’s rate plus port charges and taxes; children over the age of 12 sail at 3rd/4th passenger rate plus port charges and taxes. Norwegian Cruise Line also allows children under 2 sail for port charges and taxes only; Holland America Line also may offer a lower rate for children under 18. These policies are subject to change at any time, so please contact us directly to verify.
