Royal Caribbean’s brand-new Star of the Seas isn’t just the biggest ship at sea right now—it’s also one of the most exciting places for families. From epic waterslides to a kids’ club that feels like its own world, Star of the Seas was designed with kids in mind. And with the help of a Marvelous Mouse Travel Agent, planning your family cruise has never been easier.
Royal Caribbean’s award-winning Adventure Ocean program has been completely reimagined on Star of the Seas. Kids ages 3–12 are grouped by age—Aquanauts (3–5), Explorers (6–8), and Voyagers (9–12)—so they can play, learn, and make new friends in spaces designed just for them.
The club is full of whimsical, hands-on spaces like the Play Place (with climbable play structures), the Workshop(perfect for crafts and tinkering projects), the Arena (for friendly competitions), and the Hangout (where older kids can relax and connect). Even the youngest cruisers get fun, educational experiences—Aquanauts can try kid-friendly science experiments and earn the title of Jr. Adventure Scientist!
One of the newest features on Star of the Seas is Find My Kid—a game changer for parents. Children in Adventure Ocean ages 3–12 wear a special Adventure Ocean WOW Band, which allows parents to see their real-time location on a deck map inside the Royal Caribbean app. Kids feel free to explore, while parents have peace of mind knowing exactly where they are. Not sure how to set it up? Your Marvelous Mouse Travel Agent can guide you step-by-step, so you’ll feel confident using the technology from day one.
Families with younger children will love the Surfside neighborhood, designed entirely with kids (and parents) in mind. There’s a colorful splash park for little ones, arcades and candy shops nearby, and even a restaurant tailored to kids’ tastes. Think buffet-style dining with all the kid-approved favorites—meals have never been easier. As your Marvelous Mouse Agent, we can help you select the perfect stateroom where you can be close to all the action, perhaps even in a balcony overlooking it all!
For kids ready for bigger adventures, Star of the Seas boasts a massive waterpark at sea with six slides. From twisty, high-speed thrills to more kid-friendly options, it’s an adrenaline rush for the whole family. Add in a flow rider, mini-golf, a sport court, pools, and endless chances to play outside, and it’s safe to say your kids will never be bored.
Royal Caribbean makes sure even the little details are fun. Kids onboard Star of the Seas can sip on a soda flavor made just for Royal Caribbean—Sprite Royal Berry Blast—which you won’t find anywhere else. And at night, they can wind down with Admiral Awesome, who gathers kids together for bedtime stories filled with laughs and imagination.
Of course, no family cruise is complete without a stop at Perfect Day at Coco Cay, Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas. It’s packed with waterslides, a wave pool, splash zones, beaches, and so much more. It’s like a vacation inside a vacation—and kids will be talking about it long after the cruise ends.
Star of the Seas is more than just the biggest ship at sea—it’s a floating playground for kids and families. Between Adventure Ocean, Surfside, the waterpark, and all the kid-friendly extras, there’s something for every age and personality. Parents can relax knowing their kids are safe, entertained, and maybe even learning a little along the way. For families looking for a vacation that balances excitement and peace of mind, Star of the Seas really does have it all.
