Nautilus Club on EXPLORA III and EXPLORA IV
The Nautilus Club on EXPLORA III & EXPLORA IV has been thoughtfully enhanced with dedicated spaces designed for children and teens, creating 2 distinct spaces:
Nautilus Club - Juniors: Tailored for children aged 3 to 5 years old, this area will also include six hours per day baby care services. For children under 3 years old, parents can enjoy baby time together, or take advantage of supervised care without parents.
Nautilus Club - Teens: A reserved club for younger guests aged 6 to 17 years old, this space offers activities and experiences designed to inspire and entertain older children and teenagers.
Other Nautilus Club Activities
The space also offers sports sessions, technology tournaments, painting, arts and crafts, and games throughout the ship. Our Nautilus Club hosts are certified according to CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association) policies and standards on youth activities, making sure that children and teens are looked after as and when needed. All younger guests can also enjoy reserved periods at the Sports Court, one of the heated pools, as well as other locations around the ship.
