Family fun

Riding the waves on a banana boat. Pizza making in Italy. Films in 3D. Building the biggest sandcastle the world has ever seen and turtle watching on the beach. A photo rally on Santorini or discovering a cool amusement park. Children and teens enjoy fun and action on board the EUROPA 2. And what about you? Take some time for yourself!

directly to the cruises

Travel together, experience the world together.

Holiday time means quality time spent together - especially for families. But also independent experiences - which is why the EUROPA 2 is both child- and parent-friendly. Completely individual and completely active: parents and children will find numerous opportunities to spend the best time of the year with one another. And, at the same time, enough freedom to independently discover new things with new-found friends.

And because no two children are the same, there are lots of age-specific offers. Unique, for instance, is the guaranteed childcare for children as young as 2 years. Trained childcare specialists will ensure that your child won't ever get bored during their exciting day.

  • The Knopf Club offers fabulous fun for those aged 2 to 3 years old (this childcare is subject to a surcharge and the number of participants is limited).
  • The Kids’ Club takes those aged 4 to 10 years old on a tour of discovery.
  • In the Teens’ Club, those aged 11 to 15 years old can go their own way.
  • On days at sea and upon request, our late-riser service for parents (subject to a surcharge) takes care of your little ones from 8.00 hrs onwards and will also pick them up from your suite.
