There's Fun For The Whole Family With Norwegian Cruise Line.

Out of all the different types of vacations you can take as a family, there is no better way to cater to everyone all in one spot than with cruising. Budget friendly and offering plenty of destinations to choose from, Norwegian Cruise Line is a great option for families. There's an endless amount of activities while onboard including go karts, kids and teen clubs, shows, and waterslides! While onshore, enjoy a variety of excursions from beach cabana rentals to snorkeling!

Before You Board: Tips For Traveling With Kids

Sign Your Kids Up For Splash Academy: Splash Academy is the perfect spots for your kids to hang with others their age, and they are four different age groups while onboard. 

  • Guppies (6 months to under 3 years)
  • Turtles (3 to 5 years) 
  • Seals (6 to 9 years) 
  • Dolphins (10 to 12 years)

Make Time For Yourself: While you may feel like family vacations are all about making your kids have a great time, it's important to take time for yourself to relax. Because Norwegian Cruise Line offers kids programs, you can be sure your kids are well taken care of while you get some alone time. Kids can be dropped off at Port play for a small free so that you can take time for a date or shore excursion with your partner. 

The Late Night Fun Zone is also a great option if you want a night out with your partner. Open from 10:30pm to 1:30am every night, and with a small fee, this program is designed to keep your kids happy and safe while you enjoy the ship. This service is available for kids ages 3 through 12. 

Pack The Essentials: This may sound like the most stressful part of the trip, but packing doesn't have to be a chore. Packing too much or too little is always a worry on trips, but Norwegian offers solutions onboard. 

One tip when packing for a cruise is to pack a few days worth of clothing less than you think you need for the trip. Norwegian Cruise Line offers laundry service while onboard, so you can always use the same outfits over again. This will help you keep space for more important outfits, like formal wear or extra swimsuits! One fun idea to try is packing your kids surprises like pool toys, fun sunglasses, or a dance party outfit!

It's Time To Race!

Race Tracks At Sea is one of the best experiences while onboard select Norwegian ships. Hit speeds up to 30 miles per hour with the view of the ocean in sight! Indoor activities are also available including laser tag, virtual reality, and kids clubs!

Brining the fun back outside, there's rock climbing, zip-lines, and sports decks to keep going all day long. One of our favorite thrills onboard is The Plank, a feature on the ropes course that leaves you at the edge of a plank suspended 8 feet over the side of the ship! Make sure to take a photo if you make it that far!

Shore Excursions Are A Must.

Let's not forget the destinations you are cruising to! When you choose a cruise to the Caribbean, you might get to experience Norwegian's private island, Great Stirrup Cay! This is the ultimate getaway with snorkeling and beach cabanas available for rental.

Our Favorite Excursion: Swimming Pigs of Treasure Island!

When you arrive at Great Stirrup Cay, take a short scenic boat ride to Treasure Island. When you arrive, you are greeted by pigs who enjoy swimming in the beautiful water just as much as the cruise guests! This is the ultimate photo opportunity, and a unique experience you won't find anywhere else.
