Adventure Ocean on Star of the Seas

When you’re cruising with kids, one of the biggest questions is:  Will there be enough for them to do?

On Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas, the answer is a resounding YES — thanks in large part to Adventure Ocean, the cruise line’s award-winning youth program. This isn’t just a “kids’ club.” It’s a fully immersive, age-appropriate, and seriously fun space where kids can learn, play, explore, and make new friends — while giving parents a well-earned break.


Here’s what makes Adventure Ocean on Star of the Seas a must-experience for families:

What Is Adventure Ocean?

Adventure Ocean is Royal Caribbean’s complimentary kids’ program, designed for cruisers ages 6 months to 12 years. It’s not babysitting — it’s a structured, supervised, and FUN environment filled with games, crafts, science experiments, talent shows, themed parties, and more. On Star of the Seas, the Adventure Ocean space has been completely reimagined, offering more freedom, creativity, and exploration than ever before!


Age Groups & Programming

Adventure Ocean is broken down by age, so kids can connect with peers while participating in activities that match their interests and energy levels:

Royal Babies & Tots (6–36 months)

  • Fee-based nursery care ($6 per hour but can vary)
  • Soft play, story time, music, and naps
  • Flexible drop-off so parents can enjoy dinner or spa time

AO Juniors (3–5 years)

  • Land and Sea themed playtime
  • Art, music, story hour, and free play
  • Trained staff ensures a safe, nurturing experience


AO Kids (6–12 years)

  • STEM experiments, scavenger hunts, video game tournaments
  • Camp-style activities, sports, and talent shows
  • Plenty of unstructured time in awesome, kid-designed zones

Note: Kids must be potty-trained to participate in the AO Juniors and AO Kids programs.

Parents love Adventure Ocean not just for the programming, but for the incredible staff. Every team member is background-checked, certified in CPR and childcare, and passionate about making sure your child is safe and having the time of their life.

What’s Inside the Adventure Ocean?

The AO complex on Star of the Seas is massive, modern, and seriously cool. You can expect:

  • Open play areas for building, crafting, and gaming
  • Interactive zones for science, art, and creative play
  • Cozy reading corners and tech-free chill spaces
  • Gaming consoles for supervised video game tournaments\
  • A theater-style stage for talent shows, skits, and themed parties


Adventure Ocean offers parents the opportunity to:

  • Enjoy a quiet dinner or date night
  • Book a spa treatment or just relax at the Solarium
  • Watch a late-night show while your kids are safe and having fun
  • Recharge while they do, too
Best part? It’s complimentary during the day and evening, with only a small fee after 10 PM if your kids want to stay late.

What About After Hours?

Adventure Ocean offers Late Night Party Zone hours (usually 10 PM–2 AM), so kids can continue the fun while parents enjoy ship nightlife.

They’ll watch movies, play games, and wind down in a safe, supervised setting — giving you a little grown-up time.


Bonus: They’ll Make Friends Fast

Many kids form instant connections in Adventure Ocean — and that makes the entire cruise better for everyone. It helps ease nerves, gives kids independence, and lets them feel like the cruise is theirs too.

Tips for Parents

  • Register early — you can often do this in the Royal Caribbean app before your cruise
  • Visit Adventure Ocean on embarkation day to tour the space and meet the staff
  • Bring socks (some activities may require them)
  • Check the daily schedule for themed events or family sessions
Adventure Ocean on Star of the Seas is more than a kids’ club — it’s a game-changer for families.


It gives kids space to be kids, make friends, and have fun on their terms… and it gives parents the flexibility to unwind, reconnect, and actually feel like they’re on vacation too. Contact All In Vacay today and let us help you have the best family cruise on Star of the Seas.
