Regent's Club Mariner Youth Program welcomes kids onboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises. During the summer months, when Regent ships sail to Alaska, Club Mariner will keep young cruisers engaged and entertained, and give them the chance to meet other kids their age while sailing. Children are split into two age groups: 6 to 11 and 12 to 17. Counselors lead age-appropriate activities, including games, arts and crafts projects, movies, and "food fun" from pizza parties to galley tours. Teens get to help counselors choose their preferred activities.
