Family & Kids

There’s plenty of fun to go around on a Carnival cruise – for all ages. This includes award-winning youth programs as well as family-friendly dining options and activities.


The greatest value travel protection program in the cruise industry.


Carnival wants you to have the best vacation ever, with nothing to think about except how much FUN you’re going to have. That’s why we created Carnival’s Cruise Vacation Protection Plan, starting from prices as low as $49. Carnival’s Cruise Vacation Protection Plan provides you with peace of mind because unfortunately, the unexpected does sometimes occur.


Vacation Insurance can be selected during your online booking session. The price of the insurance will be displayed near the end of your booking. At that time you can opt out of the insurance if you decide you do not want it. The premium is based on the number of adults and children in your party.


Carnival’s Cruise Vacation Protection Plan is a package of travel protection and emergency assistance services designed to meet the particular needs of our guests. In the event that you must cancel or interrupt your trip because you, a traveling companion or one of either or your immediate family members becomes unexpectedly ill or injured, Carnival will refund you in cash for your otherwise non-refundable cancellation charges, or for the unused portion of your trip should it be interrupted for certain specified reasons as outlined in the Plan Description.


In addition, the plan covers minor inconveniences like lost or delayed baggage, as well as more serious problems such as an unexpected illness or injury requiring emergency evacuation to your home. More importantly, included in the price of the plan is access to a 24-hour traveler’s emergency assistance hotline.
