Children’s eligibility and programs
The yacht collection’s published information includes an infant minimum age of six months. Its yacht material describes Ritz Kids, but confirm current age eligibility, session times and charges for your ship and departure.
Planning the trip together
Ask about the suite’s sleeping configuration and how care sessions fit around shore visits. Compare the actual yacht’s activities for your child rather than relying on a Ritz-Carlton hotel description. Confirm swimming or age requirements for marina activities separately from permission to sail. Leave space for quiet family time, especially if your itinerary combines long flights and several port calls.
What to check with The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
- Confirm yacht-specific Ritz Kids rules and fees.
- Check infant eligibility and suite occupancy.
- Verify marina and shore activity requirements.
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.
