DISCOVERY CRUISE LINE ANNOUNCES TEEN PROGRAM

Just in Time for Summer

Miami, FL---Discovery Cruise Line recently announced its summer program designed specifically for teens traveling with their parents.

According to Hanns J. Hahn, General Manager of Discovery, “The teen market has become very important.  Teens have disposable income and help make important family decisions, including those dealing with travel destinations and modes of travel.  We want to make sure teens traveling on Discovery have a great time and want to return for a repeat cruise.  After all, we are known as the fun way to travel.”

The activities begin at 8:30 am with a Ping Pong Tournament and continue throughout the day, concluding with an 8:30 pm Dance Contest.  In between, there is a Scavenger Hunt, Board Games, Teen Trivia, Teen Feud, Bridge Tour, Limbo Party, Games and the Disco.

Of course, there are three lavish buffet meals on the roundtrip cruise (including a pasta station where you can design your own dinner), a swimming pool and spacious sun decks, duty-free shopping, live entertainment on deck and in the lounges, and a Las Vegas-style casino.

More than enough to entertain and please teens and adults alike.  And, for the younger set in the family there is a kids club, Club Discovery.

Discovery sails daily from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale to Grand Bahama Island, departing at 7:45 am and returning at 10 pm.  Discovery offers same day roundtrip cruises as well as cruise and stay vacation packages at most of the island’s hotels, including Westin and Sheraton at Our Lucaya, Viva Wyndham Fortuna, Port Lucaya Resort and Yacht Club and Pelican Bay at Lucaya, among others. 

Except for the all-inclusive Wyndham resort, kids under 6 cruise and stay free at their Bahamas resort and kids under 12 pay only $49 for the cruise and stay free at their Bahamas resort.  And, teens under 17 pay only $89.99 for the roundtrip cruise.  The cruise price does not include a Bahamian Departure Fee and fuel surcharge or a security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Fee.

Discovery has been named the “Best One Day Cruise” by readers of Porthole Magazine, and has carried over 4 million passengers between the two destinations.
