Although the title is based around how to entertain children on a cruise holiday, it would be more fitting to be about how a cruise holiday can entertain your children. This is because when you choose the right cruise company, parents can relax knowing that their children are being entertained whilst under supervision in the safe hands of qualified staff.
A popular cruise line for families is Thomson Cruises. Apart from the Calypso, which is an adult only ship, all cruises supplied by Thomson are ideal for all members of the family. They offer variety and unbeatable value and you can choose to cruise from Harwich, Southampton and Newcastle, as well as the option of a fly/cruise holiday from numerous airports. This makes it easier to find a starting point for your holiday nearer to home, which is ideal when travelling with children.
Thomson offers a vast selection of cruises throughout the Mediterranean, Europe, North Africa, Scandinavia and the Baltic’s, and once on board Thomson Kidzone offers entertainment for the children with its imaginative and action packed club, which is aimed at those three to twelve years old and includes dancing classes, video games, organised activities and sports activities.
There is usually a baby-sitting service for children aged under three, so you will not have to worry about how to entertain very young children and will be able to lie back and relax. As well as being entertaining and keeping your children safe, this cruise line offers a specially chosen children’s menu.
Carnival Cruises are another popular family friendly cruise line and their program for children is called Camp Carnival. This program accepts children from four months old and also arranges suitable activities for those aged between two and fifteen. There is also a babysitting service and supervised free play in a playroom that is full of toys, puzzles and games suitable for children of all ages, and an electronic games room that has all the latest video games.
Carnival differs from Thomson in that it is not really a day care program but is designed so that you can spend quality time with your children whilst they play with others of their own age. There is also a water slide powered by industrial hand wheels to provide adventure for children of all ages.
Costa cruises are also family friendly and they specialise in cruises around Italy though they also sail to South America, the Mediterranean, Middle East, Caribbean, Russia, eastern Canada and Dubai. They host a variety of entertainment to suit all members of the family and have special evening events to entertain children from three to seventeen.
So it’s easy to conclude that the answer to how to entertain children on a cruise holiday is to pick a cruise line that will do the work for you.
