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. MSC Crociere gives special care to the attention to children. Dedicated entertainment and activities are arranged for children over 3 years old in the Children’s Center. Children’s programs, divided into age specific groups, are printed daily and available in the children’s Mini Club.Children’s entertainment will be organized into three different age categories:• Mini Club, for children 3 to 6 years;• Junior Club for children 7 to 12 years;• Teenager's Club for guests 13 up to 17 years of age.

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 12.All entertainment activities, both for younger guests and adults are conducted in all languages to cater to the needs of every guest. As our ships vary in size and facilities, Children’s activities are not restricted to the Mini Clubs. When parents are on excursions ashore, the Mini Club will remain open, allowing parents’ peace of mind. If parents are ashore or involved in other activities, the Children’s supervisors will also take youngsters to the buffet or the ship’s restaurant for children’s meals (from a dedicated Children’s Menu). Parents are asked to prevent their children from roaming the ship unaccompanied.

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.**
