Maybe you thought modern luxury vacations weren’t for kids. Think again.

Now featuring more kid-approved cool factor than ever.We go all out to make your vacation a modern, upscale experience that will leave you completely restored and renewed. And, we do the same for your kids.

We understand the importance of your family time together. That’s why we focus our attention on creating opportunities for you, your kids, and your entire family to create a vacation full of experiences that will stay with you long after your vacation has ended.

Our signature world-class accommodations, globally-influenced dining (where even the most finicky eater is sure to find new favorites), and friendly staff set the stage for everyone’s vacation.

And, we feature family-focused, spacious accommodations, including interlocking adjoining staterooms, Family Veranda staterooms, and suites—so there’s always room for the entire gang.

What exactly are modern luxury experiences for kids? We’re glad you asked.

We know kids don’t always want to do the same things mom and dad do (and vice versa), which is why we’ve gone to great lengths to create some of the coolest, kid-approved activities and spaces at sea—including the X Club for teens and the Fun Factory. Our kids will discover a world of experiences that will excite, inspire, entertain, and engage them throughout their vacation.

FOR OUR AVID “GAMERS”

Experience Xbox—the best games and entertainment, all in one place. Celebrity offers one of the largest Xbox experiences at sea—with more dedicated areas and new dynamic spaces created to play across our fleet. We’ve enhanced our onboard programming to offer more activities including themed nights for the kids. Adults can get into the game too with free play and sports tournaments on Kinect for Xbox 360 consoles in different venues throughout the ships. We’ve even started introducing Xbox One, the all-in-one entertainment system.

FOR OUR CREATIVE “DIRECTORS”

We have the coolest video project afloat—we call it iTake. First, our visionaries create a storyboard for their videos. Then, armed with GoPro Hero 3 high definition, wide-angle video cameras (used to film extreme sports and other cool events), they’ll head out to get the shots they planned—even if they’re underwater! They’ll learn to edit their videos in the Celebrity iLoungeSM and create a memory for the whole family to enjoy.

FOR OUR BUDDING “MUSIC MIXOLOGISTS”

Celebrity has exactly what any aspiring DJ (young or old) could want—a complimentary program we call Celebrity’s DJU. With Scratch DJ Academy® classes taught by guest celebrity DJs (that’s right, seasoned DJ personalities), our teens will learn how to DJ on cutting edge equipment through a series of hands-on sessions.

All this excitement leads up to a rocking graduation celebration where our newly taught DJs impress the celebrity DJ by creating their own mixes. They’ll also receive cool giveaways—including a certificate of graduation, DJ dog tags, and a Scratch DJ Academy T-shirt.*Scratch DJ available on select ships and sail dates.

FOR OUR “WELLNESS WARRIORS”

They’ll have every opportunity to keep fit with Zumba® Fitness. They’ll enjoy jumping in to Zumbatomic® (exhilarating fitness classes geared toward teens) and keeping up with the Zumba Xbox game. There are also specialized Fitness Frenzy boot camp classes available for teens looking for a great workout from head to toe.

FOR OUR IN-TRAINING “SPORTS FANS”

There’s a wide variety of activities to sharpen their reflexes, build their skills, and get them closer to competition-ready status. They’ll stay at the top of their game at the Sports Court and the Lawn Club. They can participate in free play and organized activities and tournaments, where our athletes can shoot hoops; kick (or block) goals; dodge balls; swing the mallet; bowl on the green; bump, set, and spike in the pool, and so much more.

FOR OUR YOUNGER “FOODIES”

We offer a variety of complimentary, culinary experiences, including Cupcake Decorating Classes, Sushi Making Classes, and Pizza Making Classes. Plus, we offer Back of the House Tours that give kids an exclusive insight into how chefs work their magic in providing delicious, made-from-scratch meals for the entire ship.

FOR OUR NEW-FASHIONED “SPA ENTHUSIASTS”

There’s Teen Bliss by Canyon Ranch SpaClub®, where they’ll have every opportunity to satisfy their love of downtime and soothe their senses. Teens can hang out, relax with a massage or learn from the pros. Our top stylists will share their expert advice on getting the most from a hair straightener. They’ll learn everything they need to achieve a fabulous new look.

AND, LET’S NOT FORGET OUR INTREPID “EXPLORERS”

We visit more than 260 global destinations – each one unique in its own way. And the best way to see those destinations is with Celebrity Shore Excursions. We offer tours to please everyone in your family and give you authentic experiences that will excite you, teach you, inspire you, and create moments you and your kids will always remember.

There’s Dog Sled Summer Camp in Alaska, Sky Safari in St. Kitts and Manatee Interaction in Cozumel. Or, satisfy your competitive side with our new fun-packed Family Tour Challenges. Discover the age-old art of gondoliering before piloting your own gondola in Venice or embark on a high-tech scavenger hunt in the Tongass National Forest. The way we see it, there’s no better way to introduce your family to the world than with Celebrity Shore Excursions.

All of this is just the beginning. We haven’t even mentioned our iPad® Scavenger Hunts, Laugh Out Loud photo sessions (trust us—the name is spot on), a fully-stocked video arcade, Deep Blue Studios where you can get a high-end family portrait you’ll be proud to add to your mantel and your kids will be glad to share online, shops featuring some of the hottest brands for kids (Ray-Ban, Fossil, and Guess to name a few), interactive gaming in Celebrity iLounge, Bingo (you’ll be surprised), and so much more.

In fact, we’ve created such diverse and exciting modern luxury experiences for our younger travelers, we’re pretty sure you’ll wish you were a kid again on your Celebrity Cruises vacation.
