Cruises for

Families and Kids

Enjoy a culinary voyage of discovery with your children on an MSC Cruise: an array of international dishes and ethnic specialties will delight the whole family with flavours from around the globe.

• For ever-changing menus of high-quality international cuisine, including signature dishes from award-winning chefs, look no further than the main restaurants onboard our ships. If you prefer a casual meal, buffets are open 20 hours a day.
• When you feel like treating yourself or your family to something a little different, the speciality restaurants across our fleet can serve you the world on a plate, from superb sushi and Asian delicacies to succulent steaks, French favourites and much more. You’ll also find a selection of sweet treats from famous partners like Venchi chocolate and Jean-Philippe Maury.
• Naturally, we cater for vegetarian and gluten-free diets and a wide variety of other requirements. All our ships offer dedicated kids’ menus for children, comprising a variety of popular Mediterranean and international classics. We even offer a non-alcoholic drinks package for children.
• If your kids want to eat with their new friends, our youth staff are happy to look after them. When they’re exhausted after a fun-packed day, you can choose to have a meal delivered to your cabin.
   

Discover our Entertainment options on board: there's always so much to do that you kids will never get bored! An MSC cruise is an experience for the whole family to enjoy together in the safe, fun environment of our cruise ships.
 

• On an MSC cruise you'll find a wide range of activities both in our dedicated Kids Clubs and on our ships, from sports tournaments and quizzes to the special Doremi family disco.
• From the joys of relaxing in a pool or splashing around in an aqua park, to the thrill of riding a swirling waterslide, family fun in the sun is never far away.
• Some ships offer the extra adrenaline rush of sliding down a zip-line, driving a full-size Formula 1 simulator or enjoying a fully immersive VR experience, not to mention the multi-sensory experience of interactive XD cinema and the amazing Video games room.
