Bring the children on an NCL cruise and you might just think you’ve left them home alone. Our Kid’s Crew and Teen’s Crew programmes are some of the biggest and most fun afloat and provide professionally supervised, age-appropriate activities that will keep them happy for days. And even better – the activities are FREE when the ship’s at sea*, so you can get to do your own thing knowing they’re safe and sound.
We are experts when it comes to accommodating "the whole gang". Children, teenagers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and more - we take care of your entire family with our combinable and connectable accommodations of all kinds, in nearly every category.
Those who qualify as adults may want to reconsider once they see what's in store for the younger set.
We've designed kid-friendly amenities into all of our ships. Besides our complimentary Kid's Crew and Teen's Crew programmes, we feature movie theatres, a kids-only pool, kid-size buffets, PlayStation® games, our newest highlight the game console Nintendo Wii and a lot more.
Our Kid's Crew facilities are some of the largest and most fun afloat. Your child will be assigned to an age group based on his/her age at sailing. If they have a birthday while at sea, only then they are moved up.

NCL Freestyle Cruising is seriously cool for teenagers. In no time at all, they’ll be surfing at the Internet Café, joining a team on the sports court, going for gold at table tennis, challenging the world to a Wii™ tournament and hoping for a lucky strike at the bowling alley#. They’ll get together at themed parties, dine out together and take in a show as a group. Just make sure they disembark when you do.
Our teen programme is a great way for teens aged 13-17 to meet each other while engaging in some cruising fun. A member of our Youth Staff supervises all activities and because they know what teens want to be doing, they get the vibe just right.
Activities include:
Wii™ & Xbox Video arcade Sports & activities Teen Dance Club Movies |
Parties Teen dinner Team-building challenges |
Our Youth Staff are carefully chosen from Education and Recreation programmes at University. Your child will like our Youth Staff because they are fun. Actually, they are experts in fun- they design specialized activities for all ages. And they'll keep a constant watch over your children to make you happy. Not to mention, each staff member is CPR and First Aid certified, so your child will be safe and secure at all times plus they're trained in communication and confidence building too.
Relax-it's your job to have fun and our job to keep your kids happy and safe. Every child in our Programme receives a Kid's Crew bracelet with their name, stateroom number, emergency station, allergies, and medications listed. If an emergency does occur, our Youth Staff is responsible for the mustering of the child in their care and bringing them to safety at the Child Muster Station. There, you can claim your child. All unclaimed children will be taken to the secondary station and distributed to their assigned lifeboat stations.
*NCL Kid's Crew counsellors offer group supervision and activities for children aged 2-12 at a nominal charge when in port. Facilities are available on selected ships - please check deck plans for details.
