With Ocean Village family cruises there’s no rushing to get the kids dressed up in time for meals. You can wear what you choose on board and eat when you fancy it -24/7 if you like - and there's a daily kids tea at 5.15pm. Whether you prefer to dine as a family, or eat at different times, you can do whatever suits your family. Cruises include all buffet dining as part of your fare, you don’t need to worry about running up a huge bill either. Family cruises have never been simpler!
Ocean Village is properly geared up for family cruises with kids from 6 months to 17 years and their safety onboard remains our greatest priority. As well as a fully staffed kids centre, there are netted decks and family pools. With so much included in the price you’ll soon discover that Ocean Village is great value for family cruise holidays.
Cool for kids
From hyperactive two-year-olds to teens that need prising out of bed... Whatever your kids are like, they're sure to love everything about our family cruises.
Base camp is where our enthusiastic youth staff rustle up a bunch of fun activities from 9am till late. We’ve got fun to occupy the whole family. Our cruises include a ball pool, soft play area, paddling pool and netted deck play zone for little ones, while computer whizz-kids can lock onto a wall of free game consoles. Older kids have their own separate area (With Playstations) to hang out in and do teen stuff.
Going ashore? Our Action Ashore programme features a goodie-bag of trips that are perfect for family cruises, including water parks, aquarium visits, beach breaks, even pizza-making. Parents can get the most out of family cruise holidays too. In peak summer, kids can stay at Base Camp while the grown-ups head off for some couple-time ashore. While for teenagers who are too cool to be seen with their parents, there are Great Escapes where they can hike up Mount Vesuvius or visit Nou Camp stadium with the youth team. Remember life before the family? On our cruises, you can have a big night out at James Martin's Bistro while your little ones snooze safely in our supervised night nursery. On an Ocean Village family cruise, holiday harmony starts from just £99.
