ocean village family fun

Ocean Village

Ocean Village want everyone to have a fantastic time on board, and they know that for families, the best way to do this is to provide great facilities and daily programmes that capture the imaginations of kids from tots to teens - especially in peak season.

At the start of the holiday families will be invited to an informal meeting where our Youth Team will tell you about the child facilities on board, the activities planned and the few restrictions they impose.

children's centres

The Youth Team will be keen to make your children feel instantly at home in the Base Camp children's centres. Each centre has a fully netted deck area and a paddling pool, and the children's programme is scheduled daily from 9am - noon, 2-5pm and 6-10pm (6-11pm for 5-8 year olds, 6pm-midnight for over 9s).

Ocean Village Although children are grouped by age, occasionally they may join with other groups to participate in certain activities and events.
children's age groups

Ocean Village

6 months - under 2 years
Babies and toddlers are welcome at Base Camp during opening hours provided a parent stays with them at the centre. However, during peak periods parents can enjoy a break on mornings when the ship is in port and can leave their child in good hands at the centre while they go ashore.

2 years and 3-8 years
Children aged 2-8 are sure to have a great time at the centre, with an extensive programme of play, sport and entertainment to keep them fully occupied.
9-17 years
The centre remains open until midnight for older children. During peak school holiday periods extended hours and extra arrangements are laid on for both age groups. They also have their own zone - The Hideout on Ocean Village and The Attic on Ocean Village Two - with loads of cool stuff including videos, karaoke, discos, competitions and more.  
going ashore
When it comes to going ashore, there's a raft of family-friendly trips to choose from, with water park and aquarium visits, beach breaks and pizza making. Got a teen in tow who's keen to do their own thing ashore?

Ocean Village		 In peak summer, the Great Escapes trips (escorted by the Youth Team) mean they and their buddies can hike up Mount Vesuvius or visit Nou Camp stadium in Barcelona and meet you back on board later; or the kids can play at Base Camp for a small charge while you head ashore to explore.
