Kid's Clubs

Holland America ships provide a wide variety of exciting youth and teen- friendly activities and facilities for guests ages 3 to 17. With supervised fun for younger guests, the entire family can have the cruise vacation of their dreams.

All Club HAL activities are supervised by permanent, full-time Club HAL Youth Program Directors and staff, and are designed to be kid friendly and age appropriate. Club HAL Youth Program Directors hold degrees in education, childhood development, recreation, leisure studies or related fields.

Age Groups and Restrictions
Club HAL - Kids: Children, ages 3-7, can participate in such activities as story telling, fabric painting, indoor games, ship tours, arts and crafts, charades, drawing contests, ice-cream sundae parties, puzzles, bingo or a farewell pizza party. Children in the Kid's age group must be toilet trained. Children in pull-ups or nappies are not allowed in the youth facilities, due to mandates from US Public Health. Exceptions to this rule cannot be made.

Club HAL - Tweens: Tweens aged 8-12 might learn golf putting, have disco parties and theme parties, participate in the award-winning National Park Service Jr. Ranger Program on Alaska cruises, compete in on-deck sports events, compete in scavenger hunts or simply play Ping-Pong with a friend.

The Loft and The Oasis: Teens aged 13-17 will especially enjoy the teen disco, dance lessons, video games, teen sports tournaments, card games, trivia contests, bingo, movies and videos. When there are more than 100 children on board, a HAL Talent Show is offered. (The Oasis is not available on all Vista-class ships)

There are many activities with set times for your children to join in. These times will be made available on board.

Club HAL After Hours is available on all ships (except the ms Prinsendam) from 10:00pm - 12:00am. The fee is $5 per child, per hour. Parents must pick up their children on time or a late fee is charged. For babysitting outside of the hours offered in Club HAL, guests may check at the Front Office to schedule this service provided by staff on a voluntary basis only.
