Family Fun on Celebrity Cruises
Updated: April 19, 2023
Moments to Remember
Celebrity understands that quality time with the family can sometimes include a little independence for everyone. Unwind at the Solarium on Edge, an adults-only poolside escape, while the kids experience the innovative Camp at Sea program. They’ll learn about culinary arts, science, technology, engineering and math while making new friends onboard.
Celebrity partners with organizations like the Frost Science Museum, Xbox, Fat Brain Toys®, and others for Camp at Sea, which keeps kids entertained, learning and discovering in a fully customizable program. During the day, kids become master pizza makers and cupcake bakers, unleash their artistry at Creation Station and more.
Family activities are just as important as R&R, sure, but on ships like Celebrity Edge, they take things up a notch visually and experientially. Take the entire family to Eden on Edge, a space where anything is possible. Nature fuses with performance in Eden, which boasts panoramic views of the ocean. Visual delight is guaranteed on the Magic Carpet, a movable venue and fixture of Edge where you can enjoy open-air dining and float above sea level to stunning new heights.
At the Persian Garden, an aromatic steam room and herbal sauna melts away all worries. Treat yourself to a day at the spa, which offers every type of relaxation available. Here, busy parents and grandparents can put themselves first for once. Rejuvenating massage treatments, facials, manicures and pedicures and even acupuncture are at your fingertips here.
If you’re looking to stay active or burn off steam, there are plenty of opportunities at the Fitness Center, which offers everything from cycling and treadmills to high-intensity interval training classes and yoga.
Moments to Savor
Picky eaters and specialized dietary preferences are welcome here, whether you’re dining in the plentiful complimentary restaurants on board or enjoying exclusive fine dining at the edgy Blu or Luminae.
Celebrity has culinary delights for all types of foodies. Some younger kids like to eat the same thing every day, while other families may try their first sushi lollipop on board.
You don’t have to eat at the kid’s table if you don’t want to. Celebrity Cruises has developed a cutting-edge culinary experience featuring Michelin-starred chef Daniel Boulud, timeless classics like Tuscan Grille that bring a taste of Tuscany to every dish, and experimental takes on sushi at Raw on 5.
Le Petit Chef combines dinner and a show, which is especially captivating for the kids. They’ll be taken along on a narrative journey where tiny, animated chefs from Spain, Japan, and France prepare their meals before their eyes.
Moments to Discover
Share unforgettable bucket-list items with your family, like getting up close to sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands or exploring the Parthenon in Greece. Shore excursions handle the logistics for you, which can be especially helpful for larger families. After all, vacations should be stress free for both kids and adults.
Snorkel among coral reefs in the Bahamas. Stand in awe at the Sistine Chapel. Share a slice of Key lime pie in Key West. Discover local markets and whip up an incredible meal with an onboard chef in Cartagena, Colombia. See a Russian ballet performance in St. Petersburg.
Let the sound of waves gently rolling in lull the kids to a restful night’s sleep. After tucking in the under-21 crowd, grown-ups can enjoy a night out. Dozens of bars and lounges on board suit every pace of nightlife, like the glamorous Martini Bar or the laid-back, casual scene at Craft Social. Find live music and dancing at the Sky Observation Lounge, which offers prime ocean views day and night.
Wake up and repeat—or don’t. There’s enough to do that each day can be its own completely new adventure on Celebrity Cruises.
