Following a successful trial across both ships during summer 2026, the programme will operate on select sailings across the Mediterranean, Adriatic and the Greek Isles during school holiday periods.
The new programme is divided into four age groups:
– Little Sailors - ages three to five
– Junior Explorers - ages six to nine
– Young Voyagers - ages 10 to 12
– Teenagers - ages 13 to 16
Activities vary by itinerary, sailing and age group. Examples include colouring, painting, LEGO, puzzles and board games; arts and crafts; treasure hunts; football, basketball, tennis, table tennis and dance classes; as well as gaming, karaoke and mini discos.
The programme takes place at the Kids' Zone on Deck 12 onboard Celestyal Journey and the Kids' Club on Deck 10 onboard Celestyal Discovery, with select activities taking place in other venues and sports areas.
Janet Parton, VP of Marketing, PR and Customer Experience at Celestyal, said: “The Mediterranean is a wonderful place for families to explore together, but a great holiday should also give everyone the chance to enjoy time tailored to them.
"The response to this summer's trial showed that younger guests loved having their own programme and making friends onboard, while parents valued the flexibility to enjoy some special time together.”
Parents and guardians do not need to remain with children aged five and above during scheduled sessions. Children aged three and four must be accompanied throughout by a parent or guardian.
