Innovative, pioneering, ground-breaking…those are all terms that have become synonymous with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.  The fleet is made up of 21 vessels varying from mid-size to mega, and each and every one is a floating resort! If you’re considering a European cruise, and maybe you’re even thinking about taking the kids along, a family-friendly Royal Caribbean ship is a great choice!

Every Royal Caribbean ship can boast of amenities that appeal to tots through teens!  The award-winning Adventure Ocean youth program keeps them occupied with games, events and activities throughout the day and into the night.  The age-appropriate activities are well structured for young children, but offer tweens and teens the freedom to come and go as they please. Select ships have nursery services and baby sitting, where the littlest cruisers can be left in the trusting care of trained professionals.

 A state-of-the art fitness center, as well as a sports court for basketball, dodge ball and volleyball action, as well as the Royal Caribbean signature rock wall, will keep those looking to stay physically active, busy onboard! In addition, on select ships guests can enjoy surf simulators, mini golf, ice-skating rinks and even zip lines! Besides its big theater shows (with select ships offering Tony Award winning musicals such as Chicago and Hairspray), all ships have evenings packed with comedy shows, various clubs and lounges with live music and dancing, as well as a glitzy casino.

Royal Caribbean has dozens of Western Mediterranean cruise itineraries to choose from. Cruises that go to enchanting cities like Rome, Florence, Venice and Naples and known for works of art by household names such as Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci.
There are Eastern Mediterranean cruise itineraries where guests can discover the ancient mysteries of Istanbul and the beauty of Santorini and Mykonos. Of course there is also the option to explore the major Scandinavian cities of Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, and Oslo, as well as Tallinn and St. Petersburg, on a Northern Europe cruise. Cruise tours can be added to many itineraries and are a splendid way to become more thoroughly immersed in the culture of iconic cities.

bringing along the kids, a Royal Caribbean cruise to Europe can make memories that last a life-time. With so much excitement and adventure both on and off the ship, it’s the perfect family vacation!
