Children and Teens (2–17 years) All of Cunard’s ships offer exciting programs for children and teenagers aged 2–17. The specially designed areas known as The Play Zone, The Zone, and The Teen Zone are complimentary and offer peace of mind, knowing that your children are well looked-after and can socialize with other young people. Activities—which run throughout the day and into the night—offer your children the very best of ship entertainment. Varying every day, the daily program is filled with a full range of engaging activities and offers something for everyone. All activities are age-appropriate, such as arts and crafts, movies, quizzes, and scavenger hunts. There is also plenty of time to simply relax and meet people of a similar age. Cunard also offers special children’s supper/tea daily, allowing parents to have formal dinner by themselves. Chapter II Thinking of Taking a Cruise While You’re Expecting? It’s a Great idea!
