Kid's clubs and entertainment

Step into a world of wow factor on an extraordinary family holiday. From your tiniest tots up to young adults aged 17 years old, we make sure each day has just the right balance of fun and freedom.

Kid's clubs for 6 Months - 17 year olds

Staffed by enthusiastic and qualified crew, we provide clubs tailored to age-specific needs and entertainment.

Nursery (6 months-2 years)

With age-appropriate toys and games, plus bespoke themed Turtle Tot activities, the Nursery offers a safe environment where your children can have great fun and meet new friends. Children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times and is open at selected times during the day.

Night Nursery (for 6 months-4 years)

The Night Nursery can help you enjoy your evenings safe in the knowledge that your little ones are asleep in good hands. It operates each night, so your children can dream sweet dreams in the quiet area and we’ll contact you if they wake up. While your child is in safe hands, you can enjoy our extraordinary dining and evening entertainment.

Splashers (for 2-4 year olds)

Splashers is our club exclusively for guests aged between 2 and 4. Get ready for softplay and toys, books and activities. Your little ones will be spoilt for choice! Each ship varies, but you'll still find enthusiastic and qualified Reef Rangers in each club, with programmes and activities suited to the Splashers age group.

Surfers (for 5-8 year olds)

For guests aged 5 to 8, we have Surfers. Your Surfer can look forward to playing computer games, watching movies, running and jumping around the soft play area, creating their own puppet show, and so much more. Each varies, but you'll still find enthusiastic and qualified Reef Rangers in each club, with programmes and activities suited to the Surfers age group.

Scubas (for 9-12 year olds)

9 to 12 year-old guests can immerse themselves in the fun and excitement of Scubas. Youngsters visiting Scubas can take part in activities like air hockey, computer games, pool, or just chill out with their new friends, with a huge variety of activities on offer. Each ship varies, but you'll still find enthusiastic and qualified Reef Rangers in each club.

H2O Children's Club/ The Scene (for 13-17 year olds)

Aged 13-17? We’ve more activities created just for you. Our friendly Youth team will lead the excitement, from letting loose at the Party Night to testing your knowledge at the Quiz Night and getting active at Fitness Club. It’s all tailored to you, our terrific teen guests. *Please note that those wanting to attend the 13-17 rooms are not required to pre-book their sessions but must register.

Pre-book places in The Reef

From two weeks before your holiday, you can book places in The Reef for a small fee on My P&O Cruises. This brings peace of mind that your children have a spot secured, and gives you the chance to plan time for yourself (maybe to enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or a romantic meal?). Please note that all adults must be registered with us as a trusted carer to drop off and collect kids from The Reef. Not ready to make plans? Some spaces in The Reef are available to book for free while on board, on a first-come, first-served basis. T's and C's apply.

Kid's clubs FAQs

The children’s clubs are open every day and will operate a number of sessions throughout the day. In addition, a night nursery is also available from 6pm to Midnight. Opening times may differ across the fleet depending on the time of year. Check my.pocruises.com for full details.

Children's club session durations can vary between 2-5 hours and there is no limit to how many sessions children attend (subject to availability). For exact sessions, check My Holiday once you are on board.

Every child (6 months-17 year olds) must be registered before they can book or attend any sessions in The Reef or Scene. You can register each child 14 days ahead of your holiday at My P&O Cruises.

You can book a session once on board. If there is a high demand for a session then we unfortunately cannot guarantee a place for every child. Sessions can be booked from 8:30am the day before via My Holiday.

Please note that those wanting to attend the 13-17 rooms are not required to pre-book their sessions but must register.

We encourage all children to come. However we don't provide one-on-one support or care. If the child needs this, a parent or carer needs to be present at all times. If your child has a disability and would like to take part in our activity programme, please ensure you provide a full account of child’s needs when registering your child as well as speaking with our Youth team to arrange a chat with our Youth manager when on board.
