Create More Tales to Tell

Princess has something for each family member, from the young to the young at heart.
Whether traveling close to home or to destinations around the globe, families can create memories together on board and off when sailing with Princess. Adventures abound with their dedication to ensuring special experiences with onboard amenities just for families and excursions that combine culture, history, and fun while exploring new locales.
Princess offers immersive excursions with its award-winning tours for all ages, including many hands-on opportunities and special features for young guests ages 3-to-12. Hear their shouts at a whale sighting, enjoy a tranquil day of fishing with family, and feel the exhilaration as you canoe through glassy waters in Alaska or swim with dolphins and stingrays in the Cayman Islands. Not only are these memory-making experiences, but they’re all thoroughly kid-approved.
Multigenerational families can even create their own personal excursion itineraries exploring with just each other with private vehicles and drivers and guides at the ready.

Princess brings that same level of exploration off the ship and on to the ship. Families can enjoy stargazing on the top deck and an indoor planetarium. There’s the fun of an interactive splash pad with a whale’s spout spraying guests at the Reef Family Splash Zone on Caribbean Princess®. An all-ages game zone features oversized backyard games and introduce kids to the wonder of theater with Broadway-level stage shows. And watch for Stanley the Bear to show up throughout the voyage for story time, bear games, crafts, and photo ops.
On board, families will explore regional flavors inspired by the places they visited, like fresh seafood in Alaska and Canada & New England and jerk chicken in the Caribbean. Take a ukulele lesson in Hawaii or learn the steel drums in the Caribbean. Meet National Park Rangers in Alaska or naturalists in Costa Rica to hear what makes a destination special from those who know it best – locals.

I took my first trip to Disney when I was six and haven't stopped traveling since. I fell in love with It’s a Small World. How great was it to visit numerous countries on a joyous boat ride! Since then, I've traveled to 50+ countries on six continents. In 2017, I traveled around the world and visited 23 countries – I spent more than a month in Italy and England and also enjoyed time in Israel, Japan, France and Morocco. While I spent a lot of time traveling solo, I also enjoyed time with my family and friends. Seeing their joy discovering new places helped me discover the joy that comes from planning a magical trip. From then, I decided to turn my passion into a profession.
Some of my favorite places to go include Italy, London, Paris, New York City, Boston, The Grand Canyon, The Galapagos Islands, Israel and Japan.
