Family Friendly Cruises

Stress-Free Holidays - You shouldn’t have to worry about micromanaging your family while you’re on holiday. On an all-inclusive Generations Collection cruise, every detail is thought of and taken care of for you—from making sure the kids are entertained onboard and onshore to providing three delicious meals a day. All you have to do is unpack once, and we’ll whisk you away to multiple towns (or countries even!) in one trip, with immersive experiences that every generation will enjoy.

Cultural Enrichment - When you share the gift of travel with the little ones in your life, you nourish their passion for world cultures, foster an adventurous spirit, and give them an invaluable learning opportunity by bringing them up close and personal to historic sites and new ideas. Our tours are designed to enhance this effect with a carefully curated combination of education and fun.
