A special place for children and families.

Why leave the bambini at home when we make it such a fun and exciting experience for kids of all ages? What’s more, kids 17 years and younger always sail free* on every cruise. We also offer a complimentary kids program filled with entertainment, fun and games. Our Mini Club is for children 3-9 years old and our Juniors Club is for kids 9-13. And your teens can never claim to be bored when they can participate in our Teen Club for ages 14-17, or visit the virtual reality games arcade.

Our Club leaders organize lots of great activities, shows and games such as treasure hunts, a mini-Olympics, painting courses, dancing, arts and crafts. Each ship has a cheerful, spacious and safe playroom. Knowing your youngsters are with our expert staff, you can relax and enjoy the pool or unwind with an aromatic massage.

You’ll also find lots of family activities onboard, such as miniature golf, tennis and basketball. Several of our newest ships, including MSC Orchestra and MSC Musica, offer designated children’s pools and outdoor play areas. On MSC Poesia, your children can enjoy our Stone Age dinosaur play area.  While MSC Fantasia offers Il Polo Nord, (The North Pole) children’s play area that includes a swimming pool with a waterslide, the first on any MSC ship. And for families who want to share a shore excursion experience, MSC Cruises offers up to 30% discount for children under age 14.

The fun continues even with our children’s menus. Kids love our authentic Italian favorites like pasta and pizza, but we offer All-American favorites, too, such as hamburgers, hot dogs and delicious pastries and desserts.

As a family-owned company, you can be sure we make every cruise family-friendly and enjoyable for all.

*Kids 17 and under sail free when traveling with two adults in the same stateroom (some restrictions may apply.)

**Please note that the activities vary by the number and ages of the children onboard.**
