Carnival Freedom's European Cruises: The Ultimate Family VacationFamilies today are seeking interesting vacation options that offer exciting and rewarding experiences. And European cruising -- which combines the opportunity to explore centuries-old cities with amenities and conveniences of a "floating resort" -- offers the ideal all-ages vacation. Carnival Cruise Lines' new 110,000-ton Carnival Freedom caters to families with activities and facilities for all ages on two different European itineraries. The 2,974-passenger SuperLiner debuts March 5, 2007, with a nine-day Mediterranean voyage, then begins 12-day Mediterranean and Mediterranean & Greek Isles cruises March 14, 2007. "Families have moved beyond summer road trips toward sharing enriching cultural experiences," said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO. "A 'Fun Ship' cruise to Europe enables families to enjoy the region's art, architecture and cuisine, then return to the familiar shipboard environment with its specialized programs for children and teens." Expansive Play AreaA 4,200-square-foot play area anchors Carnival Freedom's "Camp Carnival" program. The facility is divided into five areas: "movie room" featuring kids' favorite films and cartoons, arts-and-crafts center, "soft play area" for toddlers, a gaming area with Play Station 2 consoles, and library of children's books. "Camp Carnival" play area activities emphasize music, reading, art, geography, science and physical fitness. Teen AmenitiesTeens have an on-board place to call their own in the 1,800-square-foot "Club O2." Designed for ages 15 to 17, the facility includes a dance floor, DJ, state-of-the-art sound and lighting, non-alcoholic specialty drink lounge and game room. A library offers teen-oriented books. Children ages 12-14 and their parents can enjoy body and beauty treatments on port days in Carnival's YSPA youth spa program. Carnival's teen shore excursions provide counselors to accompany kids ages 12-17 on "just-for-teens" experiences on European voyages. |
