Birthdays

If you advise your cruise line at the time of booking you have a birthday day onboard and you’ll most likely receive some special treatment. Whether you’re looking at arranging specialty dining at your favourite restaurant or securing a special seat at a show or making sure a birthday cake is served (remember no candles onboard), they’ll be ready to make everything extra pleasant. Don’t be shy in arranging to have flowers, chocolates or fruit and champagne delivered to your cabin or even set a secret surprise up for a friend. Don’t miss out on really maximising your experience onboard.

Kids Birthdays

Moreover, if it’s a kid’s birthday you’re looking to arrange, many cruise lines also offer kids birthday packages, inclusive of gifts, drinks packages and entertainment arranged in one of the exclusive kids' clubs.
