Infants must be at least six (6) months of age at the time of embarkation to sail. Infants must be at least 12 months of age at the time of embarkation to sail on transatlantic cruises, World Cruises, cruises of 15 days or longer duration, and any other itinerary which may in the opinion of Costa Cruises present serious risk to infants in need of emergency medical care.
Guests under the age of 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. On certain departures, guests 21-24 years old must have one person at least 25 years old in the same cabin, who shall be responsible for the under age 25 years old guest(s). Guests who are responsible for the supervision of underage guests shall ensure that they do not purchase, possess or consume alcoholic beverages or violate any other shipboard regulation. The minimum drinking age onboard is 21 years old for cruises departing from U.S. ports and 18 years old for cruises departing from non-U.S. ports. Guests under the age of 18 may not play at the casino or use any spa facilities and must be accompanied by a person over 18 on shore excursions. The guest’s age on the date of sailing determines their status for the entire cruise.
The Squok Club is designed with vibrant colors and furnishings, the latest video games, Xbox One stations, as well as Spin Master, Meccano, Spy Gear secret agent’s equipment and the Aquadoodle magic mat. Examples of activities offered for children include treasure hunts, sports competitions, dance and karaoke contests, costume parades and theme parties. Activities for teenagers include dance and music classes, sports competitions, pool parties with a midnight dip, games at the disco and theme dinners. The schedule at the Squok Club may be subject to change and all activities are published in Diario di Bordo and delivered to the cabin each day.
The Squok Club is divided by age groups, and are open from 9:00am – 12:00am:
- Mini from 3-6 years
- Maxi from 7-11 years
- Teen Junior from 12-14 years
- Teen from 15-17 years
Costa ships are designed to accommodate children in strollers: elevators and spacious cabins, large decks and walkways. Children under three (3) years have priority boarding and can use the games room of the Squok Club (outside the busiest times and must be accompanied by an adult); but they cannot participate in the activities for children over three years old. Children who turn three during the cruise can access the Squok Club as soon as they embark.
For parents who want to participate in excursions while leaving their children on board, they need only notify the Squok Club 24 hours beforehand, so that they can accompany their children 15 minutes before the start of the tour.
