Parents Night Out
Costa family cruises give parents traveling with children some time off by organizing two events where kids spend the evening with other guests their age at a fun themed dinner (such as Squok, pirates, circus, video games world, Halloween, WWF in the jungle or underwater) and fun activities designed especially for them. While the kids are being entertained, parents can relax as they enjoy sumptuous cuisine and a romantic evening together, feeling secure that their children are having fun while being supervised by our dedicated Youth Counselors. With this program, parents and children will both be pleased with the variety of shipboard activities and the warmth of Italian Style cruising.

Babysitting
While cruising is a vacation for the whole family, Costa also provides quiet time for Mom and Dad. That can be during the day, while the kids are entertained in the Kids Club program, or at night, while the kids are with group babysitters. Mini and Maxi Club nighttime group babysitting, held in the children's area, is free of charge until 1:30 am. There is no night time baby-sitting service available for children under 36 months of age or for children who are not potty-trained.

Kids Menu and Beverage Card
Children will love the special Kids Menu that is served at every meal because it contains all of the foods that kids like best! Spaghetti, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, grilled cheese, ice cream and more - there is always something to please even the most finicky eaters! Plus, Costa offers a Boys & Girls beverage card for 20 non-alcoholic drinks, so kids can have fruit juices and carbonated drinks at any time during their cruise!
