Is there a discount for children? Do children sail free?
Our automated online booking process is designed to pull up the lowest possible fare for your sailing; any discounts offered for children/infants are included in the online pricing. 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 lets children under 2 sail for port charges and taxes only; Holland America Line charges $250 plus port charges and taxes for children under 18 years old for a majority of their sailings. However, most cruise lines do offer a discounted fare for the 3rd or 4th passenger traveling in a cabin, if you are traveling with children, sharing a cabin is often a good way to lower your costs.
