Things to Do

YOUTH CLUBS

Disney Cruise Line, the undisputed leader in children's cruise entertainment, offers dedicated clubs and lounges plus customized interactive programs for kids, tweens and teens ages 3 to 17 years.

Plus, Disney has some of the industry's longest operating hours for children's activities. And while kids enjoy the most extensive youth activity areas at sea, parents can enjoy the ship thanks to an onboard communication service allowing kids to contact their parents anywhere on the ship.
