Junior cruisers ages 3 to 17 can enjoy a boatload of exciting activities on board Princess family cruises. Princess' dedicated youth centers are staffed by trained counselors, who are ready to ensure young sailors stay happy all day long. Children under the age of 3 are allowed to visit the Youth Center if accompanied and supervised by a parent at all times.

On all vessels except Ocean, Tahitian and Pacific Princess you'll find completely equipped Youth & Teen Centers. There's everything from arts and crafts corners to table games, movies and a splash pool area.

Princess operates youth programs on Ocean, Tahitian or Pacific Princess when 20 or more children ages 3 to 17 are traveling on a given voyage.

Port Day Activities
The Youth and Teen Centers are open while in port from 8am-5pm. A supervised complimentary lunch service is available with parental consent.

Dining
As part of the Princess Kids program, junior cruisers will also be able to participate in two special dinner evenings designed for each age group.

Younger passengers will enjoy dinner without parents and in the company of newfound friends and counselors in one of their ship's many eateries.

For teens, one of the two evenings will feature a special evening get-together in one of the main dining rooms, complete with group photograph and a night out to enjoy Princess' many evening offerings.

TV Programs
TV programs appropriate for children, including cartoons, movies and award-winning programs may be shown on the in-stateroom television during the early morning hours, midday and early evening. Youth and Teen Centers are also equipped with giant screen TVs for late-night movie gatherings, featuring the latest kids and teen films.

Edutainment
Scheduled on select seasonal sailings, the California Science Center will deliver entertaining and interactive science activities for children aboard Princess family cruises. Whale watching, coral reef studies, building and racing sailboats, marine biology studies, chemistry experiments and squid dissection are just some of the activities that may be offered.

Princess family cruises also offer the Pete's Pals Program as a way for kids to learn more about threatened and endangered species in the areas visited. Each year Princess will issue a limited edition plush animal depicting a species in danger for all children participating in this program.

For Alaska cruises, Princess' National Park Service Junior Ranger Program teaches kids about glaciers, endangered wildlife and other animals native to the region. Park Rangers provide special presentations and activities for kids and teens, giving them an opportunity to earn a Junior Ranger badge.
