Crystal Cruises' commitment to excellence and quality of experience does not end with grown-up cruisers. Kids have a variety of great activities to choose from on select Crystal family cruises. During holiday cruises and most summer sailings, junior activities feature games, arts and crafts and other programs under the supervision of experienced Junior Activities Directors. Plus, Crystal offers a children's playroom and babysitting services on all cruises.

Crystal's 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. Longer hours are typically offered during summer sailings.

Activities
Activities are determined by age and the number of children on board. On Crystal family cruises 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 teenager's guide to special activities, our daily newsletters for kids with details for the following day's schedule and other pertinent information. Summer sailings feature destination-related enrichment, which includes activities relevant to the voyage.

Facilities
Fantasia, the 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, Crystal family cruises offer in-stateroom babysitting. Guests should contact the concierge on board for this service at least 24 hours in advance.
