Being family travel experts, we are always guiding families towards the perfect vacation which will not only allow for variety and value. Thanks to Cruise Line International (CLIA) we’ve been given the data as to why families should chose a cruise when they travel together.
- Amenities for All Ages: There is no shortage of amenities and activities onboard a cruise ship to suit every preference and age group. Grandparents who enjoy adventure can try a surf simulator or indoor sky diving with their families or, to keep things more relaxed, families can take scenic tours of historic landmarks. Cruises also offer children’s programs, teen clubs, and organized, supervised activities, including karaoke, cooking lessons, scavenger hunts or dance contests.
- Flexible Travel: A cruise vacation offers a low-stress and flexible vacation option for grandparents traveling with their families, especially with the help of a travel agent. Families can choose a ship best suited to their travel companions and also choose to do as little or as many activities as they like. Grandchildren and younger travelers can even get involved in the planning process by helping select a destination or particular excursion for the whole family.
- Independent Exploration: Cruises provide families a unique opportunity to stay together but also do things independently. For example, family members can explore on their own during the day and come together for a family meal in the evening.
- Best Return on Experience: Cruising allows travelers to combine transportation, lodging, dining and entertainment all into one package—perfect for a family traveling together and looking for a stress-free planning experience. A travel agent can also help cruisers find the best options and offerings for large travel groups.
- Sharing the World: Cruising offers a chance for grandparents to bond with their families by sharing the joy of traveling and beauty of the world. A cruise vacation allows family members of all ages to explore new destinations, taste new cuisines and immerse themselves in new cultures while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
All of these reasons are the reason my family has chosen time and time again to cruise together as a large group. We have found that cruising allows us a wonderful mix of togetherness and much needed rest and relaxation.
For 2018, we’ve chosen to head to Alaksa as a group. We will be on board the brand new Norwegian Bliss!! Check out my recent post all about it.
Don’t forget that October is National Plan a Cruise Month. This is the best month to book your family cruise because we have exclusive offers for your cruise vacation. These offers do expire on 10/31/2017 and are valid through 2018 travel.
