Is Cunard adults only?

While Cunard Cruises may offer a more traditional cruise experience, this doesn't mean that kids won't enjoy it to, and with dedicated clubs for those between 2-17 years, a cruise can be a memorable experience for guests of all ages.



No, Cunard Line is not an adults-only cruise line; it is actually very welcoming to families and children of all ages. While Cunard is famous for its traditional, "Golden Age" ocean liner atmosphere and formal gala evenings, all three of its current ships (and the new Queen Anne) feature dedicated Children's Clubs for ages six months to 17 years. These clubs provide age-appropriate activities like scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, and sports tournaments. Children are welcome in all restaurants, and Cunard even offers a special children's menu and "early tea" for younger travelers. There are family-friendly swimming pools and even a Night Nursery service for infants. While certain areas like the Casino and specific bars are restricted to those 18 and older (or 21 in US waters), the majority of the ship is accessible to families. Cunard is a popular choice for multi-generational families who appreciate the refined environment and the opportunity for children to experience a more classic, "educational" style of cruising across the Atlantic.
