Kids under the age of 17 board for free on MSC Cruises when accompanied by two adults who paid the full fare. In addition to allowing them to sail for free, they also provide complimentary kids' programs filled with entertainment, fun and games. MSC Cruises feature many family oriented options on the ship, such as miniature golf, basketball and tennis. In addition, some of the newer ships in the fleet have pool areas that are designated for kids only.
Disney Cruise Line has a special during certain times of the year that allows kids to sail for free. In 2009, the special ran from mid-January through mid-April, and from mid-January to the end of May in 2010. Kids who are 17 and younger qualify. These kids must also be staying in the same stateroom as two adults who paid the full fare.
Crystal Cruises offers a kids-sail-free program on select cruises. These offers are valid around the holiday season for 14-day cruises that are between Christmas and New Year's. To qualify, kids must be 17 or younger and must be traveling with at least six full-fare-paying guests.
