Asked on August 10th, 2024Will family accommodations be available? 2 adults/ 3 children in one room- 2 adults in second room?
- TrafalgarOperator•Written August 2024
For families traveling with children aged 2, 4, and 6, we unfortunately accommodate travelers who are at least 5 years old. Typically, we can arrange twin, triple, and single rooms based on your preferences. Please note that triple rooms are usually best suited for two adults and one child, as they often feature one double bed and one foldaway bed, which might be a bit cramped for three adults.

Traveler•Written August 2024This trip sounds wonderful. We will have 3 children with us though - ages 2, 4 and 6. I don't think you take children that young. If you do... we may be interested.
