Children’s eligibility and programs
Costa advertises Squok Club for children aged 3–11. Ask about younger-child services and teen activities separately; those age groups should not be inferred from the Squok Club offer.
Planning the trip together
Discuss which sessions your child wants and keep space for meals together. Compare cabin bed positions and storage if travelling with several children, and ask which activities require advance registration. For a child learning another language, find out how the team communicates during supervised sessions. Check the ship’s pool and toilet-training rules independently from the club’s minimum age.
What to check with Costa Cruises
- Confirm club eligibility and language support.
- Check infant and guardian rules in the booking terms.
- Review charges for any care outside the club.
Before paying a family cruise deposit
- Give the line each child’s age on embarkation day and the exact itinerary before paying a deposit.
- Confirm a bed for every guest, cot availability, and any connecting-cabin arrangement in the booked category.
- Check passports, visas and consent documents for children travelling with one parent or another guardian.
- Ask about club registration, independent toilet use, care hours, fees and age or height limits on activities.
Age rules, programs and availability can change. The cruise line’s current terms for your booking and departure govern your trip.
