Why cruise is perfect for your next family getaway

Choosing a family holiday that suits everyone in the family is no easy task. Whether you’re dreaming of basking in the summer sun or escaping for some winter warmth, we have an amazing selection of school holiday and half-term cruises tailored perfectly for families.

Imagine this: you want to explore multiple destinations but dread the hassle of organising logistics. Plus, you want a holiday where pools, kids’ clubs, restaurants, and entertainment are all within easy reach. Sound impossible? Not with a family cruise! It’s the perfect blend of adventure and convenience.

Amazing destinations

One of the best things about cruising is waking up to a different stunning backdrop each morning. The kids (and you!) will love the excitement of discovering new cities, resorts, and beaches daily. And guess what? You only have to unpack once! Plus, with all travel plans sorted, you can wave goodbye to the stress of hectic transfers with kids in tow.

Onboard, there’s no shortage of fun. Think pools, waterslides, kid-friendly shows, and endless activities. Parents, don’t worry—there’s plenty for you too. Kids’ clubs ensure you get some well-deserved relaxation time, whether it’s indulging in spa treatments, enjoying a quiet meal, or simply lounging by the pool. Family excursions, child-friendly menus, and 24-hour room service round off the perfect package for everyone.

Cruises are an unbeatable way to see a lot in one trip. You get the joy of visiting multiple places without the hassle of organising each step. Imagine exploring the picturesque Greek islands—Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos—or ticking off iconic Italian cities like Venice, Rome, and Naples, all in one holiday! You’ll often dock close to the action, making it easy to explore on foot or join family-friendly tours.

Amazing value for money

One of the best parts about a cruise is that so much is included in the upfront price. Your cabin, meals, entertainment, and access to kids’ clubs are all covered. That means no surprises when it comes to budgeting! Plus, food is available all day. Fancy a midnight snack or an afternoon ice cream? No problem. Family-friendly ships often have dedicated children’s dining areas and kid-approved menus, ensuring everyone’s happy and well-fed. Plan ahead by pre-booking your shore excursions (always recommended to avoid disappointment) and purchasing drinks packages, and you can all but leave your wallet at home.

When it comes to family staterooms onboard cruise ships, there are fantastic options to ensure everyone has their space while staying close together. Many ships offer interconnecting rooms, giving you the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy. For larger families or those seeking more space, multiple-room suites are available, offering a touch of luxury with separate bedrooms and living areas. If you’re looking for budget-friendly options, don’t worry! Family-sized inside and oceanview cabins provide comfortable and spacious accommodations without breaking the bank, ensuring that every family member can relax and enjoy the cruise.

And here’s a cherry on top: you can embark on a fantastic adventure without needing to fly. UK roundtrip cruises offer a variety of routes, from the enchanting fjords of Norway and the dramatic landscapes of Iceland to the cultural gems of Germany, Belgium, and Denmark, and the sun-soaked Mediterranean and Greek Isles.

So, if you want a holiday where the kids are entertained, you can relax, and everyone gets to explore new and exciting destinations, a family cruise is your perfect school holiday solution. Book your cabin, pack your bags, and get ready for an unforgettable family adventure!
