Discover the many advantages of a family cruise

With the arrival of increasingly larger, modern and technological ships in recent years, greater attention has been given to the 360° experience of young families with children. In fact, if up until twenty years ago a cruise holiday was seen as a trip 'for old people', nowadays the music has more than changed and even small cruise passengers can find their own dimension thanks to the numerous services offered on board almost all cruise ships which host clubs, often divided into age groups, specifically designed for their well-being.

MSC Cruises ships, for example, host numerous areas reserved for younger guests, some of which were designed in collaboration with brands of the caliber of Lego and Chicco. As well as Princess Cruises ships with Camp Discovery, also divided into three age groups, conceived together with the brand known for broadcasting educational programs focused mainly on nature.

But the entertainment options for children and teenagers are not limited to the internal areas of the ships, but also extend to the external decks with more or less elaborate water parks depending on the size of the ship. With a wink at its little guests, Royal Caribbean offers Splashaway Bay on board its ships, a colorful area complete with waterslides, hydro cannons, fountains, swimming pools and a self-tipping bucket: the most loved attraction. The Carnival Cruise Line fleet also hosts a vast outdoor area dedicated to children's entertainment with the Dr. Seuss water park with slides and games accessible from an early age.

The experience of families on board cruise ships clearly also embraces the catering sector with menus specifically designed to meet the tastes of children and teenagers from all over the world available at the main restaurants or, as in case of Costa ships, with Family Restaurants designed to meet the needs of families open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Last but not least are the excursions, accessible to younger guests often at reduced prices or even free.
