Families on board P&O

 P&O Cruises offer great choices for family holidays with activities and entertainment for children of all ages in The Reef children's clubs. The Reef is where all the action shall take place for all children and teenagers and the qualified and experienced 'Reef Rangers' will be on hand to ensure the younger members of the family have the holiday of a lifetime, enabling parents to take some time out for themselves.

The Reef Clubs will cater for four key age groups:

  • Splashers, 2 - 4 Year Olds
  •  Surfers, 5-8 year olds
  • Scubas, 9- 12 year olds
  •  H2O, 13-17 year olds

Outdoor deck spaces will be themed and architecturally designed with children's needs in mind, and  the children's areas will feature the latest gaming consoles and interactive television.

There will be a comprehensive programme of age-appropriate activities, designed to keep children's minds and bodies active throughout their holiday. These will include film shows, quizzes, board games, scavenger hunts around the ship, drama workshops, pool games, sports sessions, singing, dancing, arts and crafts, videos and more.

Children's favourites Noddy and Mr Bump will be on board to play games and join families for breakfast, adding extra excitment for mini-cruisers.
