Talk about best cruises! Your children's holiday is as much fun as yours. Qualified staff run a great choice of awesome activities for kids of all ages, every day, while you relax, knowing they're in safe hands. With a great mix of fun, educational and active entertainment, your kids will have the time of their life!
Passengers aged 3 to 17 years are welcome to join in the fun.
Each exciting children's programme features specialised, age-specific activities and children are required to take part in the programme designed for their age.
All Youth Centres are fully supervised by our experienced staff. Younger children are entertained with toys, educational games and lots of special activities just for them, all under the supervision of our Youth Staff. There are also pagers available (for a refundable deposit) to allow our staff to communicate with parents. You'll find a full list of activities printed each day in the children's own daily newsletter.
Our HQ adn HQ+ youth staff provide a variety of exciting activities aged 11 - 17. They have their own lounge, complete with video games, movies and music. It's a great place to hang out and meet new friends.
Our Youth Centres are open from 9.00am to 10.30pm (hours may vary) for all passengers aged from 3 years to 17 years. Only children who have been toilet trained may participate without a parent or guardian. Group child minding is available in Turtle Cove and Shark Shack from 10.30pm to 1.00am for an extra charge. We cannot guarantee your child's participation in Youth Centre activities. Entry is on a first come, first served basis. Please note, private in-cabin babysitting is not available on any P&O Cruises ship.
Parent Responsibilities
Even on your cruise holiday, there are some little details to need to take care of. For your child's comfort and enjoyment, please don't leave them in the Youth Centre for extended periods. If your child becomes upset or distressed, our staff will contact you.
Our staff members are not permitted to administer medication, change a nappy or bottle feed your child. You will be paged if your child needs assistance.
