Kids and Teens
A journey that makes everyone happy
A cruise with the whole family is a wonderful opportunity to finally take time for each other, have fun and share experiences together. Our two luxury cruise shipsMS EUROPA andMS EUROPA 2 are perfectly equipped to meet the needs of families, from age-specific childcare and child-friendly facilities to exciting children's and teens' excursions. We pay at least as much attention to the needs of children and teens as we do to those of adults.
Time for family
While you enjoy a wonderful day, your children will become buccaneers, beach castle architects and little karaoke champions. When building a pirate camp, going on a banana boat tour or having a pool party, your children will be looked after lovingly and in an age-appropriate manner.

We are also pleased to go that extra mile on your behalf with special arrangements, such as organising special opening times at important cultural venues or exclusive concerts in an unusual setting.
You can see which excursions are planned for your cruise in the shore excursion brochure, which you will receive about three months before your cruise. Then you can prebook your required excursions prior to departure at your travel agency or at My booking. Naturally, you can also still decide once on board (subject to availability).
Zodiac trips
Our Zodiacs will take you to hidden places and areas that are difficult to access, take you on further where other ships have to turn back and enable you to go ashore in places that may otherwise seem impossible. Your experiences in these places will become unforgettable memories.

Experienced experts will always be on hand to show you what to look out for.

Renowned experts joining you on board will share their extensive knowledge with you in some interesting lectures. They will also guide shore excursions, pointing out things that normal visitors might not otherwise notice. Experiences in small groups that make a big impression.
Kids & Teens Excursions
These excursions are designed especially for children and work perfectly without parents, such as when we go to see the penguins and turtles in New Zealand, explore Barcelona by way of a photo safari or enjoy the fine weather swimming and snorkelling off Langkawi. The childcare service will ensure that they take sun cream and drinks, for example, depending on what it is on the programme.
Teens can descend in a submarine to view the brightly coloured underwater world of the Caribbean, or race to Paphos beach on a mountain-bike tour and much more. And if the family is travelling together, we might, for instance, demonstrate our skills on the climbing course just outside Oslo, marvel at the sights of London from the height of a massive Ferris wheel, or set out on a real adventure through the rain forest of Puerto Rico.
Organised Shore Activities
Our classic excursions will give you your first impressions of the region. For those who prefer to be active and get to know a country and its people from a new perspective, we also provide adventure trips and active tours, such as hiking, Segway, boat and kayak tours and snorkelling.
