Cruise Lines Children’s Programs
Cruises can make for an excellent family vacation, but not all cruise lines provide the same children’s amenities- and some lines don’t even permit children to sail- so it’s important to plan carefully and find the one that’s right for you.
The cruise experts at AllThingsCruise have done the research for you, covering the spectrum of options: there’s information on mainstream lines like Disney, Royal Caribbean, Carnival and NCL, as well as more unique alternatives like luxury, river cruise and small ship excursion companies.
Please click into the line to see their respective programs for Babies/Toddlers, Children, and Tweens/Teens. Not all lines have children’s programs and the information will reflect their programs and amenities, or lack thereof.
The age parameters for each classification may vary by line- be sure you check each one individually.
This information is direct from the lines themselves and is subject to change, please confirm details when you book your cruise.
Also, take a look at the cruise lines’ pregnancy policies and diaper policies.
