Cruise Vacations—Bridging the Generation Gap

hether there are more eight-year-olds or eightyyear-olds in your group, cruising is the one vacation that promises endless options for every age. “Cruises are ideal for multigenerational groups,” says Judy Jenkins, Manager, LeGrow’s Travel, Gander. “During other types of family vacations it can be challenging to balance age-appropriate activities, personalities, food preferences and energy levels.” Not so much with cruises, which have the appeal of multiple dine-around options, customized age-appropriate entertainment, specialized shore excursions and price points for every budget.

Want to know more? Here’s just one of our cruise recommendations tailored to multi-generational interests.

From Our Bucket List to Yours…

Here’s the inside scoop on Peru and Ireland—straight from our globe-trotting advisors!

eru… Thailand… the South Pacific… Ireland… If it’s on your bucket list, chances are our intrepid travel advisors have already been there. “Travelling is a requirement of my job—and it’s also what I love best about it,” says Tina Jackman, LeGrow’s Travel Advisor, Churchill Square, St. John’s. “As LeGrow’s Travel advisors, we’re expected to have global knowledge of travel trends and to be able to advise clients as to their best choices based on first-hand experience.” Indeed, criss-crossing the globe in search of adventure is what we do best at LeGrow's Travel! Here’s a quick overview of just two of the bucket-list destinations we’ve been checking out: Peru and Ireland.

BUCKET LIST DISCOVERY: PERU AND MACHU PICCHU WITH INTREPID TRAVEL

BUCKET LIST DISCOVERY: IRELAND ADVENTURE WITH ROYAL IRISH TOURS

“I would have to say that Machu Picchu was the highlight of my trip to Peru. It is incredible to think of what the Inca people accomplished there so many years ago. And Peru is such a beautiful country and the cities are so clean.”

“I just love Ireland. I think it’s the perfect destination for a self-guided vacation because of all the wonderful experiences you can enjoy on your own terms— whether it’s a whiskey-tasting, a visit to Blarney Castle, or learning about your Irish ancestors and tracing your family tree.”
