Cruise Family Vacation
A cruise family vacation may be your best choice for the
summer. Despite the general misconception that cruises are rather for the
elderly, a cruise holiday has plenty to offer for people of all ages. You will
get to explore some of the most beautiful places in the world in the company of
your whole family.
With all the children programs and babysitting services
available on many ships, a cruise family vacation will offer you the chance to
unwind and spend some time on your own while your kids are in good hands. There
are many holiday packages you can choose from for your cruise family vacation.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Disney Cruises. Disney cruises are very popular for a cruise
family vacation due to their excellent children's programs and activities, as
well as docking at the beautiful island Castaway Cay. Each week, the company
publishes "Magical Rates" on their website, offering incredible
discounts. For example, you may have the luck to find a 4-night cruise in the Bahamas
for as little as $479 for September 2006 or a 7-night cruise in the Caribbean
on Easter time at $859.
There are also special discounts for children aged 3 to 12
sharing the room with their parents, while kids under three can travel for
free. An infant care service is also available for a set fee, while other
children programs are free.
Single Parents' Cruise. A popular choice with single parents
for a cruise family vacation is the Single Parents' Cruise, part of the Single
Parent Network. The company plans several trips every year at competitive
prices and ensuring single-parent families aren't charged with any penalties.
Royal Caribbean. The Caribbean
is an attractive destination for a cruise family vacation. In June 2006, Royal
Caribbean has launched a new ship, called Freedom of the Seas. The ship
features plenty of fun on-board activities for children, including a water park
for kids and a rock-climbing wall. You can find a 7-night cruise to the Caribbean
for as low as $700 per person.
Costa Cruises. Costa is another popular cruise line offering
cruise family vacations and plenty of hot deals. Kids sail free if they share
the room with two adults who pay early booking rates. You can learn more about
their special offers on their website.
Crystal Cruises.
A top cruise line for many years, Crystal Cruises has been awarded the title of
'World's best Large Ship' several times by readers' polls. They also have
special deals where children can sail for free.
Discovery Cruises. Another popular choice for a cruise
family vacation, Discovery runs one-day sailings from Ft.
Lauderdale to Grand
Bahama, where children under six sail free. Kids can also stay
free at a resort on Grand Bahama if they share the room
with a paying adult. For children aged 7 to 11, the price is just $49 for the
sailing and they also get to stay free at the same resort. This cruise line
also has a Kids Club, where children can learn about marine life.
A cruise family vacation is a great way to spend your summer
holiday and bond with your family. With all the fun programs and entertainment
available on many cruise lines, you can be sure your kids will have a great
time.
