Discover Ocean Cruising & Tour the NEW Wonder of the Seas
Visit multiple cities without repacking your bags with a planned itinerary in a luxurious floating hotel chock-full of entertainment and buffets! That’s an Ocean Cruise.
An ocean cruise refers to cruises on larger cruise ships that stay on the oceans and visit locations (or ports-of-call) along the coastlines. Ocean Cruises makes a great family vacation as it offers the ideal vacation for everyone in the family.
Let’s look at why it’s great fun for kids and adults and take a tour of the perfect Ocean Cruise Family Vacation. And download the KeeKee Kid’s Travel Activity Guide for the kids.
FOR THE ADULTS
First, you get to visit several destinations on the cruise. While ocean cruises are typical to the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico, and Alaska, you can also go further to Europe, Asia, and South America.
And you only need to unpack once. No matter where you go or how many destinations you visit, you’ll be in the same room the entire trip making it super easy for a family.
Your itinerary is planned for you. There’s no need to worry about all the logistics. Everything is taken care of for you and your whole family. It’s a great vacation no matter the size of your group, from small families to family reunions.
It’s an all-inclusive resort on the water. This means low stress and many options to meet everyone’s needs and interests: from dining and entertainment options to swimming and sports to shopping and spas, and on-land activities from beach to culture.
Plus, it’s a great value. Cruise costs include accommodations, sailing between ports of call, all meals, and onboard entertainment.
FOR THE KIDS
An ocean cruise for kids is fun, fun, fun! They’ll never want to leave the ship.
The activity options are endless. There are always tons of swimming pools, a water park, and water sports. Many ships have entertainment and activity areas that rival amusement parks. And most have kids' clubs full of entertainment to keep the kids busy for hours (this is also a nice option for the adults to get some alone time).
The kids will not want to miss a meal with all the cuisines to choose from, and it’s a great opportunity to try new foods.
When you leave the ship, the kids can experience different countries, cultures, and even more activities like snorkeling in crystal blue water or ziplining through a rainforest.
