Royal Caribbean Cruises

 

 

Every year, more and more families are sailing with Royal Caribbean. One of the biggest reasons is our Adventure OceanŽ Youth Program. The idea behind this award-winning program is to teach kids about new, interesting things, like the ports they visit, the science of sailing, even exciting new sports like gagaball. But most of all, it's about having fun. After all, it's their vacation too.

Fun isn't just for adults at Royal Caribbean. Kids from 3-17 are invited to take part in our exciting, complimentary Adventure OceanŽ Youth Programs. Adventure Ocean was specially designed to blend educational activities with just plain fun. Every cruise is different. But one thing never changes: your child will get to learn about local customs, do cool science experiments, and make great new friends. To participate, children must be three years of age and potty-trained (diaper and pull-up free). And you can feel confident leaving your children with us because every member of our staff holds a college degree in education or other related field, or has qualified experience in working with children.
