Fun isn't just for adults on a Royal Caribbean Family Cruise...
Royal Caribbean offers exciting programs for guests of all ages, starting at just 6 months old!
Adventure Ocean is a complimentary program 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.
From 6-36 months of age, Royal Caribbean's tiniest guests and their parents are invited to participate in the Fisher-Price Aqua Babies and Aqua Tots Programs.
Developed by Fisher-Price exclusively for Royal Caribbean International, these activities are hosted by trained youth staff. A parent or caregiver MUST accompany children during activity sessions.
Adventure Ocean, Royal Caribbean's kids' program, offers activities in-port, at sea, and in the evening. Kids enjoy educational and culture-based activities blended with the daily itineraries, ports of call, games, and team sports.
There are five categories to Adventure Ocean:
- Aquanauts (3-5)
- Explorers (6-8)
- Voyagers (9-11)
- Navigators (12-14)
- and Guests (15-17)
Using edu-tainment, Royal Caribbean blends educational activities, daily itineraries, ports of call, games, individual and team sports, art, performance, and a general good time into a unique, onboard experience for children, teens, and parents.
There are kids-only activities as well as those for the whole family.
Royal Caribbean also offers kids a special menu of hamburgers, pizzas, and other kid-friendly meals.
Royal Caribbean's Adventure Family Program is for kids and their parents to get together and participate in fun onboard activities like ice-skating and karaoke, as well as beach games that are played shoreside. It's a great way for the entire family to have some fun.
