Kids sail free on selected trips with luxurious Crystal Cruises

It is also offering onboard credit of up to $400 per cabin and $500 towards excursions for families and groups of six or more.

The limited “Book Now” offer is available on all-inclusive fly/cruises this autumn and early winter, with fares starting from £1,673 per person, based on two people sharing a cabin.

The free children’s offer is for children under 17 who share a three-berth cabin with two adults.

Crystal Cruises is one of the world’s leading luxury cruise companies and its two all-inclusive ships have won countless awards.

“Our guests are discerning travellers who recognise that travel is one of the most enriching and educational experiences we can share with our families,” says Crystal’s president, Edie Rodriguez. 

“The additional incentive offers for families on these voyages make it even easier for parents travelling with children of virtually any age to broaden their horizons.”

Onboard entertainment for children on Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony include the Fantasia club for younger children and Waves club for teenagers.

Both are trendy urban loft-style rooms with Marimekko-patterned, FatboyTM bean bags; 1970s’ classic-design Casala Casalino chairs and tables; and lots of oversized sofas.

There are different sections for group activities and crafts, storytime, relaxation and videogames such as Wii, PlayStation®, Xbox and Kinect.

There are also two wide-screen TVs, Blu-ray players and a film projection system for movie nights.
