Are there any special on board activities for children?
Most of the major “family-oriented” cruise lines offer extensive on board programs for ages 2 – 17. Some of the newer cruise ships even have special kids-only areas. Some programs are offered year-round while others may only be available on select itineraries or sailing dates. Children’s programs typically offer a variety of activities for children of all ages with daily activities planned for specific age categories. While onboard facilities are not daycares, they are staffed by experienced and qualified professionals who are trained to provide a safe and fun-filled environment for younger cruisers. If available, baby-sitting services may be arranged on board for an additional fee through the Purser’s Office.
