The luxury of unpacking just once while exploring multiple destinations makes for a seamless and stress-free experience, with everything you might need thoughtfully included and easily accessible. There’s no juggling multiple itineraries, bookings, or modes of transport – your floating home takes you effortlessly from one exciting port to the next. Gone are the days of formalities; today’s cruises focus on meaningful, slow travel, offering personalised journeys around the globe.
With enriching activities for all ages and plenty of adventure, these voyages create unforgettable memories for the whole family. From kids’ clubs and family suites to immersive cultural experiences and one-of-a-kind encounters, a cruise holiday combines relaxation, exploration, and quality time in abundance – often rare for busy families. From sun-soaked private yachting around the islands of the Caribbean, up-close-and-personal wildlife encounters in the likes of Alaska, or taking in the treasures of the Mediterranean – with countless options available, the perfect cruise for every family is just waiting to set sail.

Oceania Cruises
Best for: ages 5+
Not so much ships than country clubs at sea, the vessels that complete Oceania Cruises’ fleet are some of the most intimate and plush to sail the seas. It’s the dominating air of familiarity that gives these ships their home-away-from-home appeal, and a kind of casual luxury that doesn’t need formal nights and tuxedos to prove its status. Designed with foodies in mind, each ship boasts some of the finest dining at sea, which will be especially pleasing to epicurean families.
Explora Journeys
Best for: ages 6+
Explora Journeys’ promise of a ‘Home at Sea’ is extended to the whole family. Destination experiences offer engaging and easy-to-access edutainment activities, while onboard, the Nautilus Club keeps guests aged six to 17 entertained with video games, board games, foosball, and more. Interconnecting suites can accommodate a variety of group sizes and thoughtful touches such as bathrobes and slippers for little ones and baby essentials such as cribs, blankets and linens, ensure comfort and convenience for families travelling together
Private yachting
Best for: multigenerational families
There’s something lavish yet so simple about the ebb and flow of gentle waves scoring hours passed under the spell of sun-warmed sleepiness. Aboard a privately chartered yacht, this may be your afternoon of choice, sandwiched between a morning spent snorkelling and a sunset paired with ice-cold champagne. So, whether guided by captain or crew, or going it alone, invite your favourite few aboard into an ocean of opportunities, exploring the cities, coastlines and coves you’d love to see, entirely at your own pace.
