Cruising Fun for Everyone
By Sarah Etinas

Get the whole family together—from the tots to the grandparents—for a cherished Princess cruise.
Looking for a vacation the whole family will remember? Princess takes you around the world in comfort and style—and brings generations closer along the way. Whether it’s exploring ancient ruins, ziplining through lush rainforests, or sharing laughs over world-class meals, there’s something magical for everyone, on board and ashore.

Kid-Focused Fun
On every Princess cruise, kids of all ages will have an absolute blast. Each ship has dedicated Youth and Teen clubs, where a wide variety of supervised activities—from themed parties and talent shows to video game tournaments and educational workshops—will keep your kids entertained throughout their voyage. Even better, these clubs are open both while at port and at sea, so the adults can explore on their own whenever they see fit.
Outside of the clubs, the kid-friendly fun doesn’t stop. Princess ships are equipped with family-friendly pools, exhilarating water slides, miniature golf courses, sports courts, and movies under the stars. Plus, in port, the whole family can enjoy themselves on kid-friendly excursions, like panning for gold in Alaska and snorkeling in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

Parents-Only Escapes
As the little ones are playing, learning, and dancing to their hearts’ content, parents can enjoy a bit of time to themselves. Splurge on a romantic dinner for two at the specialty restaurant Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria or do a lovely wine tasting in your port of call.
Try your luck at the onboard casino or get pampered at the peaceful Lotus Spa. Safe to say, each Princess cruise offers countless adults-only opportunities for you to relax and reconnect.

All Together Now
Of course, one of the best parts of a multi-generational family vacation is spending time together. Mealtimes are often the easiest times to gather the gang, with scheduled dining room dinners being the most effortless of them all. All you have to do is show up at your scheduled dining time, and you and the whole family will get to enjoy a mouthwatering, multi-course meal and incredible conversations with those you love most.
Beyond the dining room, all Princess staterooms can fit up to four types of guests, allowing for even more family time and often at discounted rates. If you do happen to want more space, you can opt for separate, yet interconnected rooms or upgrade to one of the multi-bedroom family suite options.

Celebrate the Big Moments
While you don’t need a big celebration to enjoy a Princess sailing with the whole family, it’s often those monumental events that bring everyone together. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a graduation, a long-awaited retirement, or a family reunion, a cruise is a fantastic way to celebrate—and the Princess team can help you make it even better.
Depending on your needs, you can book a private party space, order premium desserts, or simply spruce up the guest of honor’s stateroom with a few thoughtful decorations.

I have always been a Geography and Map Fanatic. I own a very large and well-utilized National Geographic Atlas in which I have recorded many notes and personal trips and routed out my journeys by ships, planes, trains, and cycling. I refer to it frequently in putting together my clients' trips and itineraries, as well as my own.
Going back to the time when I was a little girl, I have either lived just a few yards from the ocean or relatively close to it. I liked watching ships and wanted to know what life was like on the other side of the ocean. I was fascinated that my Grandmother came to the US on a ship as a teenage girl together with her sister from Ireland. Before my grandparents met in the US, my Grandfather from Ireland worked as a cowboy and copper miner in Montana at the turn of the 20th Century. They had many National Geographic issues at their home which I loved looking at. These impressions, plus taking my first cruise, all eventually led me to the cruise and travel ...
