Infants must be at least six months of age at the time of embarkation to sail, but must be at least twelve months of age at the time of embarkation to sail on the following: transocean crossings (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, etc.), world cruises, cruises of fifteen days or longer, and any other itinerary which may in the opinion of Costa Crociere or CCL present serious risk to infants in need of emergency medical care. Babysitting While cruising is a vacation for the whole family, Costa also provides quiet time for mom and dad. That can be during the day, while the kids are entertained in the Kids’ Club program, or at night, while the kids are with group babysitters. Mini and Maxi Club nighttime group babysitting, held in the children’s area, is a free babysitting service until 1:30 AM. There is no night-time babysitting service available for children under 3 years’ old. Costa gives parents traveling with children some time off by organizing two events at which kids spend the evening with other guests their own age, with a fun-themed dinner (Squok, Pirates, Circus, video games world, Halloween, WWF in the Jungle or Underwater) and fun activities designed especially for them. While the kids are being entertained, parents can relax as they enjoy sumptuous cuisine and a romantic evening together, feeling secure that their children are having fun while being supervised by the dedicated youth counselors. With this program, parents and children will both be pleased with the variety of shipboard activities and the warmth of Italian-style cruising. Pregnancy Policy Pregnant women are only allowed to sail if pregnant for twenty-four completed weeks or less at time of cruise disembarkation. All pregnant women are required to produce a physician’s letter stating that mother and child are in good health and fit to travel, and that the pregnancy is not high-risk. The letter must also include the estimated date of delivery (EDD). Children’s Programs The children’s program is called Squok Club and is handed out to all children upon boarding by a member of the entertainment staff. The program shows the exact times of the different daytime and evening activities.
Policies subject to change without notice, always check with your travel agent regarding pregnancy policies and children age policies prior to booking your cruise.
