Family reunions should be time well spent strengthening the ties that bind you together. But too often, the daily grind of cooking, cleaning and keeping everyone entertained is exhausting for all those involved. That’s why having your family reunion on a cruise is the perfect solution: simply select the destination, step on board and let the crew take care of the rest. 

Endless food and drinks, entertainment galore, luxurious pools, lounges and well-planned shore excursions — what more could you ask for?

Perfect for families of all shapes and sizes, cruises offer plenty of space, whether you want to spend time together or need quiet time apart. Planning special events is also a snap with the help of your travel agent, who can arrange everything from a celebratory dinner in a private dining room to a group excursion in one of the exciting ports of call. And if you plan far enough in advance, your cabins can be placed near one another, with connected rooms specially designed for families.

The diverse range of onboard activities is also perfect for multi-generational groups. From zip-lining and waterslides to wine tasting and cooking classes, cruise ships cater to all ages and interests. Even better, most of these activities are included in the price of your fare — as are numerous dining choices and nightly entertainment, like movies and Broadway shows — making a cruise an incredible value. 

And guess what? Depending on the size of your family reunion group, you may qualify for a group discount!

And all those travel plans that are so hard to keep track of? Your friendly travel agent (me!) will work with individual family members to book their flights and arrange transportation to and from the ship. Instead of calling you when plans change, Aunt Rita can call me instead! Your family will love this stress-free way to vacation.
