rom high-energy biking trips to Zen-like wellness getaways, the next generation of river cruises is all about adventure. “River cruising can be as energetic as you want it to be,” says Joan Cochrane, Maritime Travel counsellor, Truro Mall, NS. “River cruises are very shorecentric, so passengers can engage in all manner of land-based activities, from running and hiking to biking and canoeing.” Many river cruise lines already provide bicycles for their passengers, but as demand for active vacations heats up, some lines are looking to attract clientele by offering a wider scope of adventurous activities. Athletic pursuits and unusual immersive opportunities—like hiking along a World War II smuggling route—are among the menu of activities with lines like Avalon, which offers Active Discovery itineraries on the Danube and Rhine. Meanwhile, AMAWaterways has partnered with travel outﬁtter Backroads to offer fully supported rides for die-hard cycling enthusiasts. And for a less adrenalineinduced experience, the line’s new Wellness Program enhances the beauty and leisure of river cruising.

Multigenerational Cruises that Hit the Mark

Whether there are more eight-year-olds or eighty-year-olds in your group, welcome to the vacation that promises endless options for every age

pecial connecting rooms… customized age-appropriate entertainment…private shore excursions…it’s no wonder extended families are a fast-growing customer segment for many cruise lines. “Cruises are ideal for multigenerational groups on many levels,” says Alex Williams, Manager, Maritime Travel, Tantallon, NS. “During other types of family vacations it can be challenging to balance ageappropriate activities, personalities, food preferences and energy levels.” Not so much on a cruise. If you’re a grandparent, your idea of fun could be Suduko on a deck chair, but if you’re a grandkid you’re going to be surﬁng that WaveRunner. On a cruise ship you can do both in the same shared space. Add to this the appeal of multiple dinearound options, kids and teen clubs, entertainment for all ages and price points for every budget and you have a winning formula for that special family frolic. Here are some great ideas for your next extended-family cruise vacation.

Cruise Vacation: 12-Day Greek Odyssey with Holland America “Holland America’s shorter cruises and holiday sailings are great for multigenerational family groups. All ships offer dedicated kids clubs and family friendly entertainment and there are often discounted fares for third or fourth passengers sharing a room.” Recommended for you by Alex Williams, Manager @ Sobeys, 3650 Hammonds Plains Rd. Upper Tantallon, NS 902-826-1782 awilliams@maritimetravel.ca
