Bringing the Kids on Board
Marine Atlantic welcomes junior sailors to experience a fun and unforgettable crossing. We have amenities and activities with our youngest sailors in mind, ensuring a smooth sailing experience for them—and for you.
Keep the kids entertained throughout the entire journey with activity books, seasonal onboard contests, on-demand television and movies (including family-friendly options), board games, sun decks with panoramic views and fresh air, and more. Visit Reception on each vessel for more information.
Things to know when travelling with children:
