Family friendly activities onboard the modern cruise ships are as diverse as they are exciting; and with all of these facilities within such close proximity to you, organising a ‘family day out’ has never been so easy. From ice rinks to outdoor cinema screens; rock climbing walls to surf machines; mini golf to mega theatre productions, every member of the family will find themselves spoilt for choice.

Offering all day entertainment as well as flexible and diverse dining options, and dedicated kids’ clubs for all ages, family cruises are understandably a popular choice. Ships provide a safe and contained environment for children that, whilst providing a safe haven, also offer an array of culinary and cultural delights, both on and off board.

Families are also carefully considered when it comes to cabin types, as more and more cruise lines are offering family specific staterooms and suites that include sofa beds, foldaway upper berths and interconnecting rooms. They are available worldwide but Mediterranean sailings from Southampton are particularly popular and as a result, widely available.

There are many family friendly cruise lines that offer great value for money – be it Royal Caribbean Cruises, MSC Cruise, Norwegian Cruise Lines, P&O Cruises or Disney Cruise, (to name just a few!) you are sure to find your perfect voyage…
