Family Cruises

Waterslides and kids clubs for them, a pool and some quiet time for you — a cruise specialist finds the right ship and family cabin.

A cruise is one of the easiest family vacations there is. Meals are included, the kids have supervised clubs and pools to enjoy, and everyone gets to see new places without packing up every day. Our specialists compare the most family-friendly ships and find cabins that fit your family — from connecting rooms to family suites.

Why families love cruising

  • Supervised kids & teen clubs

    Most family-friendly lines run free age-grouped clubs for kids (typically from age 3) and separate teen spaces, so parents get some time to themselves.

  • Waterparks & activities

    Waterslides, splash zones, mini-golf, climbing walls and family shows — depending on the ship.

  • Cabins that fit your family

    Family staterooms that sleep 3 – 5, connecting cabins and suites. These sell out early, so we look for the best layout for your group.

  • Meals included

    Main restaurants and buffets are included in the fare, with kid-friendly menus and flexible dining times.

  • Private islands & easy ports

    Cruise-line private islands in the Bahamas and Caribbean are made for families — beaches, shallow water and play areas.

Family cruise FAQs

How old does a baby need to be to cruise?

Most cruise lines require infants to be at least 6 months old on the first day of the cruise, and 12 months for some longer or transoceanic voyages. Rules vary by line — we'll confirm before you book.

What documents do children need?

For round-trip cruises from a U.S. port, U.S. citizen children can usually sail with a birth certificate. Passports are recommended, and other itineraries may require them. If one parent is traveling alone with a child, carry a signed consent letter from the other parent.

Are kids clubs free?

Yes — daytime kids clubs are included on most family cruise lines. Late-night group babysitting and some special activities may cost extra.

When should we book a school-holiday cruise?

Spring break, summer and holiday sailings fill up first, especially family cabins and connecting rooms. Booking 9 to 12 months ahead gives you the most choice.
