Family

No one does family fun at sea quite like Carnival Cruise Line, and you can expect to encounter an abundance of excitement and entertainment for children of all ages aboard Carnival Festivale when it sets sail in 2027. Alongside the thrilling Sunsation Point, a brand new family-friendly entertainment area with a whole host of attractions and al fresco dining options to enjoy, you’ll also find Carnival Cruise Line’s iconic kids clubs present in some form onboard.

While the details on what this will look like are light, Carnival Cruise Line’s kids clubs are as follows:

  • Camp Ocean (2-5, 6-8, 9-11) - split into three age groups, Camp Ocean is an excellent way for younger cruisers to socialise with others their own age; you’ll find a range of age-appropriate activities and events here throughout your cruise
  • Circle C (12-14) - a destination where younger teens can socialise without their parents, but under supervision, the staff here will ensure everyone’s entertained with a variety of age-appropriate activities
  • Club 02 (15-17) - as much of a hangout spot as an actual kids club, this is ideal for older children looking for somewhere relaxed to socialise; the crew here will also host activities and events designed with this older age group in mind

Children will also have the chance to enjoy splashtastic slides at Carnival WaterWorks Ultra, rhyming fun with Seuss at Sea, and more incredible activities – from mini golf and basketball to the latest and greatest high-tech arcade games!

Home to Carnival Waterworks Ultra, Carnival Cruise Line’s largest waterpark at sea yet, Sunsation Point also features a mini golf course, a video arcade with outdoor games, and several dining spots to take advantage of. You’ll also find a splash pool here if you’re looking for a soak in the sunshine.

This Carnival Cruise Line ship also boasts a Casino with blackjack, poker, Vegas-style slots, and more for late-night gaming you won’t want to miss. Complemented by boutique retail outlets, a photo studio, and more, there’s always something to do when sailing between destinations.
