The Norwegian Gem is well designed for family cruising. The NCL Kid's Crew program is for kids from two to 17, with many complimentary activities. The Kid's Crew program is available year-round on days at sea (9 am - noon, 2-5 pm, and 7-10 pm) and on port days (7-10 pm). A group sitting service is also available (for a fee) each night from 10 pm to 1 am, and during additional hours in port.

The Norwegian Gem has specially designed activities for three age groups: Kid's Crew (ages 2-9), Tweens Crew (ages 10-12), and Teens Crew (ages 13-17).

Young children have their own space on the Norwegian Gem in the Tree Tops Kid's Club, while the teens will enjoy the Leopard Lounge and the Video Arcade.

In addition to the specially planned activities for kids, they will also enjoy the large pool with water slide, rock climbing wall, bowling in the Bliss lounge, and the Nintendo Wii game, which is available in both the Crystal Atrium and in the Kid's Crew facility. Kids on the Norwegian Gem even have their own dining area, with smaller tables and chairs, at the Kid's Cafe.

The Norwegian Gem's focus on family cruising extends to its accommodations.
