Create more tales to tell on Princess Cruises.
Sail as a family on a Princess cruise and explore destinations around the world where you can experience history, culture, natural wonders, and the pure pleasure of being together. Activities abound on board and off for families to enjoy with each other, while Youth & Teen Clubs give young cruisers the chance to have fun with kids their own age. The memories and travel stories created are sure to be cherished by the family forever.

Family Destination Adventures
Discovering a new destination as a family with Princess can include excursions that will fill all with wonder. For example, adventures in Alaska can have you whale watching in Juneau, traveling along the White Pass Railway in Skagway, and seeing shows that introduce the unique local culture while in Ketchikan. The kids will be thrilled to visit Dublin Castle and get a glimpse into prehistoric times at Stonehenge on a British Isles cruise. A port stop in Ensenada can have you all visiting La Bufadora, which is one of the largest marine geysers in the world and can shoot water up to 100 feet high, or walking to Riviera del Pacifico to watch Mariachi bands. Many Caribbean cruises also include a day at private island Celebration Key, where a beach party and time on the white sands create special family tales to share.
Meet Friends at Dedicated Youth Centers
Princess’ Youth & Teen Clubs are designed with activities for different age groups in mind, allowing young cruisers from infant to teens to meet new friends and have fun. Families with babies six months to two years can enjoy free play during dedicated parent-accompanied hours. The Treehouse for ages three to seven offers a forest-themed haven for hands-on activities and programs. Ages eight to 12 can play in The Lodge, where they can take part in sports activities and spend time in a comfortable place designed for them. The Beach House for teens ages 13-17 is a space designed to hang out and socialize. There are also kids-only dinners on select evenings, so parents get to enjoy time alone with just the two of them.


Share Meals & the Day’s Stories
At the end of the day, dinner is a time to share the excitement of the day. Your family may have enjoyed a new destination together or mom and dad might have spent the day lounging at the pool while the kids were at the Youth & Teen Clubs and grandma and grandpa were playing cards in one of the onboard lounges. On Princess’ ships, there are many dining options where you can try new regional foods, enjoy favorite international cuisines, and request kids’ menus in the Main Dining Room. Top dining picks can include one of Princess’ specialty restaurants, like Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria, the signature American steakhouse Crown Grill, and The Catch by Rudi for seafood lovers.
Celebrate Family Time
There is always a time to celebrate family, and Princess helps to make milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or just being together as a family group special.

All Together Now
There’s fun onboard for everyone.
