Every minute they spend in Kid's Crew? is carefully supervised by our staff of youth counselors from leading universities and organizations. Prior to coming aboard, they attend a special training course on team and confidence building, communication skills, safety and working with children who have special needs. Together they've come up with an impressive bag of tricks for your kids.

There are circuses, crafts, parades, sports, games, stories and parties. Campouts with flashlights and tents, and cooking classes where they can make pizza or pancakes with funny faces. There is T-shirt painting, face painting and poolside root beer floats. Treasure hunts and sand castle competitions on our private island. And even shore excursions designed just for families. Of course we promise we'll give them plenty of time to spend with you, too. Shoot some hoops at the basketball court. Take them to the magic show. Let junior beat you at table tennis. (Or maybe try hard not to.)

It's all fun and games for kids and teens

As a matter of fact, it's a toss-up who loves Kid's Crew? more. Because while they're doing their thing, you're free to do yours. An aerobics class? Step right up. An intimate dinner at Le Bistro? Follow me please. A few hands of blackjack? You bet. As you can see, your kids won't be having all the fun. And since almost everything is included, your kids won't be constantly pestering you for money. (And neither will we.)

Think about it. You get to do something that's entirely in the best interests of your children, while it frees you up to do your own thing at the same time. You've never had a vacation like this - a family vacation The Norwegian Way.
