At LD Lines we hope to make your journey as smooth and enjoyable as possible. For this reason, on board our ships a number of areas have been set aside especially for children. Little ones can let off steam in our brightly-coloured play-zones while video games and cartoons will keep the older ones entertained. This way, travelling is fun for everyone!
