Family Cruises

« Return | Facilities » | Recommended » | Hints & Tips » | Extras »

For many parents the idea of a family cruise holiday has never really appealed but in recent years the cruise industry has moved forward dramatically and it should now be given more serious consideration.

Things to do - There's never a dull moment at sea where kids can learn circus skills, or slide and splash in their own pools. Even hard-to-please teens can escape to their own discos and take part in onboard activities.
Hassle free - Cruising removes the hassle from family holidays. You can travel light and non-stop kids' entertainment means more free time and peace of mind for you. Some ships even have night nurseries and slumber parties, so parents can party after dark knowing their little ones are safely tucked up in bed.
Safety - dedicated family cruise ships are designed with the safety of little guests in mind. All feature standards like life jackets and fire exits, while many take extra precautions such as enclosed railings, doctors on call 24/7 and compulsory safety drills. Parents can also rest easy with in-cabin baby listening facilities, group sitting and supervised night nurseries. Check the exact details with your cruise line before booking.
Exploration value - a cruise is a great way to see different places and provide a more diverse travel experience for the family. Seeing a number of different countries, cultures and places of interest has real benefits for children and adds to the holiday experience.
Great Value - Cruising is great value for a family holiday with all meals, transfers and entertainment included! Most cruise lines also offer special rates for children and even some Free Child Places are available although you are likely to need to book early to take advantage of these special offers.
Activities - Ashore, kids can let off steam on supervised mountain biking and kayaking excursions, or join their parents to go whale or turtle spotting. Which ship? That's where we can help. From small and friendly family cruises to floating resort mega-ships, or those with nurseries, kids' meals and supervised childcare, we can work with you to ensure you pick a cruise line and itinerary to suit your family's needs.
