The Art Of Fun — Expressing Yourself
An itinerary packed with interactive experiences geared to getting a creative kid’s groove on sets the tone for a great time on Legend of the Seas.
Creative connections:

Full-On Faves From Sports To Science
Whether your little cruiser has a ball doing science or has perfected the science of a perfect gaga-ball bounce, Adventure Ocean has the perfect equation for bolder bonding with new buds. That way, the kiddos have someone to hang out with for other onboard adventures.
Caution —these activities may result in giggles and a good time:
- ● Adventure Science Lab — Hands-on lab experiments with dino digs, jr. chemistry and bubbles.
- ● Sport Shorts — Ship-favorite “gaga ball” and more mini-games with new teammates.

Late Night Party Zone — This Pajama Party Is Poppin’!
Can you put a price on a great time? (This supervised 10pm-2am session of good times has a fee, but parents getting to relax and reconnect don’t seem to mind.)
When I was sailing solo with my little guy on other ships, being able to have guilt-free childcare like Adventure Ocean was key to relaxing. He never wanted to leave when I’d come to collect him! It made me actually feel like I was getting a (much-needed) vacation, too. The benefits for parents are priceless: gaining a free evening for date night dining, spa serenity, sipping bubbly under the stars, snazzy-styling at a supper club, striking it lucky at two-story Casino Royale® or drinks-and-dancing to DJ-beats.
That’s especially true when you know your kids are having just as great a time at the best sleepless, semi-sleepover at sea, enjoying:
- ● Sports tournaments.
- ● Arts and crafts.
- ● Dance parties.
- ● Movie night lounging (and often snoozing).
- ● Gamer get-togethers.
- ● Cookie and sundae decorating.
Baby, You’re Going To Love It Here
The tiniest tots at sea are a big deal on Legend of the Seas.
Little ones can have loads of fun with these options tailored to toddlers:
- ● Royal Babies & Tots Program — Nursery drop-off sessions for little ones (ages 6-36 months) offer a colorful crawl and creep spot, cribs for nap time and trained staff to ensure they are safe and happy.
- ● Baby Bay - Surfside® babies-in-swim-diapers have their own zone in the new ship, with gentler sprayers and water features perfect for petite splashers.
- ● Interactive Group Play Sessions — Parallel play is parallel to none with guided fun for the smallest sailors on the ship.
- ● Splashaway Bay℠ and Playscape℠ — Zero-entry pools and colorful splash pads themed with an ocean of marine critters, games and minislides offer a comfortable way to play the day away.
Become A Legend With Tough Crowd Teens
Swap the “surly” for a smile. Legend of the Seas has cracked the code on cruising with teens: keep them busy and keep the adults to a minimum. Special teen-only secret entrances into the tech’d out gaming and chilling lounge of Social 020 keep the “cool” in. The biggest of kids, 11-17, can bond and brag about the fun they’re having on the ship.
Other activities that will earn a nonchalant nod (translation— “whoohoo! in “teen”):
- ● Category Six Waterpark — Six record-breaking slides, including racers.
- ● Crown’s Edge℠ Aerial Course — Zipping 154ft over the sea on a ropes course.
- ● Social 020 — Lounge where all the cool kids are. And the adults are not. (Except staff.)
- ● Silent Disco — Pick pop, rock the rock, kill it with country — dance like nobody’s listening.
- ● FlowRider® — Boogie on down, or stand up and surf if you’re good.
- ● Adrenaline Peak℠ Rock Climbing — Amp up the awesome with racing lanes.
