Families

Throughout the year, we offer a selection of cruises that welcome children and families on board.

For most of the year, Blue Lagoon Cruises is exclusive to adults in the style of smaller resorts. However, we have many requests for family bookings from guests who have previously cruised with us, so we are pleased to offer a selection of departure dates for family cruising!

The chosen "Family Cruise" departure dates are all within the Australian and New Zealand school holidays.

Child Policy: 
As this is a small ship cruising product, we currently have a minimum age policy of 14 years for travel until 31 March 2026 and 16 years for travel from 01 April 2026, for children travelling with parents outside of our special 'Family Cruise Departure Dates. 

Family Cruise Departures: 
During our Family Departures, our Child age is 5 to 13 years inclusive for departures until 31 March 2026 and 5 to 15 years inclusive for departures from 01 April 2026. Infants are 0 to 4 years inclusive, but from 01 April 2026, we will no longer be accepting infants under the age of 5 years.

  • Our "child rate" is a per child rate based on 2 children sharing the same cabin (OR 1 child and 1 adult sharing based on child paying the child fare and adult paying the per person Adult Twin/Double fare).
  • One child in their own cabin will be charged the full Adult Single Cabin fare.
  • The Infant rate (valid for travel until 31 March 2026 only) is valid for children under 5 years of age (during our designated Family Weeks only) based on sharing an Orchid cabin with 2 Adults (or 2 Children, or 1 Adult & 1 Child). Infants can only be accommodated in an Orchid cabin with an existing day bed - note there are a very limited number of these Orchid Deck cabins available.
  • All children must always be under the supervision of an adult to the satisfaction of the ship’s Captain and must be able to swim unaided and must be prepared to wear a flotation device on all tender transfers.
  • Please be aware that there is no kids' club onboard, nor do we offer child supervision or nannies.
