Children’s eligibility and programs
TUI Cruises describes Nest activities for parents with children under three, a children’s club and teen facilities on its family-cruise page. Parent-and-child time in Nest is not a promise of unattended infant care.
Planning the trip together
Ask which youth spaces and sessions are offered on your exact ship, including newer vessels. Confirm the activity language so the child can follow instructions comfortably. For a baby, verify the itinerary’s minimum age and request a cot through the specified booking process. Choose excursions and meals around the child’s routine rather than assuming club time covers every adult activity.
What to check with TUI Cruises
- Confirm youth programs on the exact Mein Schiff vessel.
- Check activity language and parent participation.
- Verify infant age requirements and cot booking.
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.
