Families with Children
Most cruise lines welcome children to travel on their ships, though infants must be 6 months or older to
travel and pregnant women are subject to some restrictions.
Families booking more than one cabin may be subject to minimum age requirements for kids staying in a
separate cabin. Your Cruising Weddings travel agent can check these requirements for you, once you
have found a cruise you are interested in.
Guests Under 25 Years of Age
All cruise lines require that at least one person in each cabin meets a minimum age requirement. The
lowest minimum age requirement for any cruise line is 18. The information that follows was provided by
the cruise lines at the time of this writing, is subject to change, and should be verified with your Travel
Agent prior to booking.

age is typically lower than 21, a parent who is sailing with his or her son(s) and/or daughter(s) who is

beverages.
