Family Cruises

A cruise may not be the first type of holiday that you would consider for a family vacation; to many they have two distinct images, as holidays for retired couples or as entertainment for the mega-rich, those who can take a month off to visit exotic locations.

However this image is slowly fading as cruises are catering more and more for families. Facilities can include children’s clubs, special kid’s menus, climbing walls, discos and a babysitting service.

Monarch Holidays Tourama offer cruises and river cruising holidays to Europe, China, Russia, the Caribbean, Alaska and Canada.The most family friendly ships tend to be the ones heading to the Caribbean and the Med, so check accommodation carefully.On the flipside however, river cruises tend to include lots of land excursions, so the lack of kids clubs and entertainment may not be such an issue.
