A Family Cruise Holiday is the ultimate way to travel with the kids. All inclusive cruising means that you can leave your worries at home and really enjoy precious time together.
Have you heard the saying ‘You know you’re a parent when going grocery shopping alone feels like a holiday, and a holiday feels like work’? Keeping children entertained while on holidays can sometimes be a challenge and an expensive one at that!
There is a cruising option for almost every family type and budget. Once onboard there are endless opportunities for you to spend quality time together – mostly without paying another cent. Enjoy swimming, splashing and relaxing by the pool, shoot some hoops, learn to surf (yes it is possible!), see a movie, watch a theater show, do a spot of shopping or let the kids go wild with rock climbing!
When you want some time to yourself you can drop your cruislings off at the Kids Club, where more often than not they won’t even notice you have left! Supervised by qualified instructors, most ships provide programs for different age groups where the children can choose from a jam-packed program of fun and education. They will be busy making new friends and learning about the world while you enjoy a quiet drink, meal or spa treatment. Either way you can rest assured that your children are safe and enjoying themselves.
Some Cruise Lines have taken the next step to enhance the experience for children by partnering with key brands. Royal Caribbean and Dreamworks have teamed up together and offer on select ships, screenings of newly released Dreamworks movies along with having characters roam around the ship for that perfect photo opportunity. Kids also get to enjoy an evening Dreamworks parade on board and can bop along as all their favorite Dreamworks characters walk the Promenade!Carnival has aligned their brand with Dr Suess, offering ‘Suess at Sea’. Children have the opportunity to listen to many favorite Dr Suess stories in an interactive setting, as well as having the chance to dine with Dr Suess characters, participate in themed art & craft sessions and enjoy the Dr Suess Parade.
On top of all this, you will explore exciting destinations, learn about new cultures and create lifelong memories with your loved ones.
