Adventure awaits on board for our Cadets, who can enroll in a one-of-a-kind nautical program, where they’ll learn the basics of sailing including navigation, time, weather patterns, and more. Cadets can also participate in activities spread throughout various venues, including Lawn Club games, campouts, and movie nights.
Ages 3-5
Young cruisers that are fully potty trained can enroll as Shipmates at our Camp at Sea program, where they’ll work on their art skills at the Creation Station, learn new camp songs, and interact with other kids under the supervision of our experienced youth staff.
Camp at Sea is the only fully customizable kids cruise program in the industry. With over 500 activities to participate in, our schedule changes every sailing depending on the interests of our young cruisers. From arts and recreation to science and technology, we cover all types of subjects and hobbies, making sure every kid (no matter their interests), feels entertained and engaged during their family cruise.
We understand the importance of exposing young minds to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math), and that’s why we’ve teamed up with The Frost Science Museum* to create a one-of-a-kind educational experience onboard. Our STEM at Sea program offers exclusive activities and events that will engage, entertain, and inform kids on varying topics such as marine wildlife, ecological conservation, and nautical exploration.
