Best Cruise Lines for Family Travel
There are so many cruise lines out there to choose from, and many of them cater to families. But which cruise line is the best one for you and your family’s needs? We’ve put together a list of cruise lines with family offerings, so that you can choose which one fits your needs. Is it the activities on the ship? The itinerary of port stops? Kids clubs? Something not only for the little travelers in your family, but for the older generation, as well?
Disney Cruise Line
Disney is a name that is synonymous with all things family. And Disney Cruise Line follows suit, offering an array of Disney Company experiences on their ships and on shore. While the price tag might be higher than most family cruise vacation options, the all included value for the entire family is something to write home about.
Carnival Cruise Line
Carnival Cruise Line is also called the Fun Ships, providing family friendly spaces such as waterslides, roller coasters, and other adventurous options at sea. Their kids clubs offer age appropriate spaces for kids to play games and meet new friends while on their family cruise vacation.
Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean has the largest cruise ships at sea, with the iconic Flowrider activity, rock climbing, arcades, a variety of family friendly eateries, and the ever popular private beach Perfect Day at Coco Cay.
Holland America Line
For multigenerational cruises, Holland America Line offers something for everyone. Their kids club spaces offer a special area for the younger cruisers, while parents and grandparents can find their own spaces on HAL’s ships. The ships are not so big that a family gets overwhelmed, yet there are still so many fun things to do on sea days or during the port days.
Princess Cruises
Princess Cruises, of the legendary Love Boat series, isn’t just for couples. The cruise line has expanded its onboard offerings to cater to families, as well. Mom and Dad can still enjoy a night out with Movies Under the Stars while the kids play nearby in the pool.
MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises offers an Italian-inspired cruise experience with various levels to meet all budgets. Families can opt for an all-inclusive cruise experience, complete with kid clubs, or choose a la carte options based off your families needs.
There are so many family friendly cruise lines out there, however we hope this list helps you narrow down the choices so that you can find the best fit for your family’s needs and budget.
