Crystal Cruises We are your number one choice

For Our Young Cruisers

Crystal Cruises' commitment to excellence and quality of experience does not end with our grown-up cruisers. Kids have a variety of great activities to choose from on every Crystal cruise! We offer a children's playroom and babysitting services on all cruises. During Holiday cruises and most summer sailings, junior activities feature games, arts and crafts, and cotillion classes (with dance and etiquette instruction) under the supervision of experienced Junior Activities Directors.

Our Junior Activities Program is Three-Tiered:

• 3-7 year olds
• 8-12 year olds
• 13-17 year olds

Children under six months are not permitted on board without a signed waiver by parent(s).

Hours of Operation

Hours of operation vary depending on the itinerary and number of children on board.

Activities

Activities are determined by age and the number of children on board. On those sailings with Junior Activities Directors, a detailed schedule of events is created at the beginning of each cruise. Once on board, you'll receive Surf Runner, or Teen Scene, the teenagers guide to special activities, our daily newsletter for kids with details for the following day's schedule and other pertinent information.

Facilities

Fantasia, our children's playroom, offers tables and chairs for arts and crafts, popular Sony PlayStation® game titles, a large screen television set and board games. Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity also feature a teenager's video arcade, Waves. The Library offers children's books and children's videos or DVDs for enjoyment in staterooms.

Dining

Kids may choose from a special Junior Cruiser's menu, and Crystal's executive chefs and other culinary staff can prepare custom dishes. The Trident Grill serves complimentary hot dogs, hamburgers, pizza and more. Baby food, high chairs and booster seats are available.

Additional Services

For a small fee, all vessels offer in-stateroom baby-sitting. Guests should contact the concierge on board for this service at least 24 hours in advance.

Cruises with Junior Activities Directors listed on the "Entertainment & Programs" tab above individual itineraries offer organized activities for children under the supervision of experienced Junior Activities Directors.
