Gangplank Getaways!

A Cruise has lots in store for your crew – no matter what their ages

M

aking magical family memories that everyone in your group will treasure for a lifetime can be daunting. “A great vacation for parents may not be so great for small children or teens. And if you add grandparents to the mix, finding the ideal family holiday can be even more challenging,” says Marjorie Terry, manager, LeGrow’s Travel, Sobeys @ Pearl Place, St. John’s.

Cruise lines have heard the call. “It used to be that a particular cruise line tended to cater to just one age group. Not any more,”

says Marjorie.

For days at sea, baby clubs, kids clubs and teen discos can be happening spots on one deck; while tea and cookies are served, and quiet reading is the order of the day on another. Meanwhile, rock-climbing walls, bungee trampolines, boxing rings, surf simulators and even skating rinks beckon – all on one floating resort.

In the morning, once docked, exploring all the different ports of call is something everyone loves to do together. Sightseeing, shopping, tours and activities are endless.

It’s easy to find something that appeals to everyone.

Come evening, you can gather everyone together for exquisite dining, sharing stories, photos and laughter. Later on, mom and dad can get their groove back while a professional baby sitter entertains the little ones and tucks them in for the night. Who would have thought this busy family day would end with the two of you sipping champagne while gazing out over the moonlit Caribbean Sea. Here are some of our top picks for family cruises.

Cruise Line: Royal Caribbean International

Cruise Line: Disney Cruise Line

Cruise Line: Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)

Family Vibe: Royal Caribbean prides itself on offering a wide range of activities for kids of all ages, with a special emphasis on outdoor activities and sports.

Family Vibe: Treating families to a good time is what Disney does best. In translating its theme park sensibilities to the high seas, this cruise line caused a revolution in family cruising.
