Taking a summer family vacation with Princess Cruises offers an exciting blend of adventure, entertainment, and relaxation for all ages! With a cruise, every member of the family, from toddlers to grandparents, is able to experience a memorable journey.​

Engaging Youth Programs

Princess Cruises offers age-specific youth clubs designed to captivate and educate young travelers. The Treehouse (ages 3-7) provides a forest-themed play area with activities like art projects and games. The Lodge (ages 8-12) offers a cozy center for sports and science activities. For teenagers, The Beach House (ages 13-17) serves as a contemporary lounge with events like movie nights and video game tournaments. I had to convince my teen to check out the Beach House but once he did, he was very happy to have made new friends!

Family-Friendly Entertainment

Entertainment aboard Princess Cruises is designed to attract family members of all ages. The “Movies Under the Stars®” experience allows families to enjoy feature films, concerts, and sporting events on a giant poolside screen, complete with comfortable loungers and complimentary popcorn. Our family loved ending up the day relaxing on deck.

Onboard Activities

From swimming in freshwater pools and participating in poolside games to basketball and mini golf, there’s no shortage of ways to bond and create lasting memories.

Innovative Technology for Convenience

The Princess MedallionClass® is a wearable device that streamlines various aspects of the journey. This technology enables features like keyless stateroom entry, on-demand food and beverage delivery, and the ability to locate family members anywhere on the ship.

Accommodations and Special Offers

Princess Cruises provides a range of accommodations suitable for families, including interconnecting staterooms and spacious suites. Current promotions make family cruising even more appealing, with offers such as up to 40% off cruise fares, free room upgrades, and complimentary sailings for third and fourth guests booked in the same stateroom.

Diverse Destinations

There is so much to do onboard but part of a cruise is to obviously enjoy visiting incredible  family-friendly destinations. Whether exploring the natural wonders of Alaska, the cultural richness of Europe, or the tropical paradise of the Caribbean, families can choose voyages based on their interests.  

Unlike some land-based vacations, cruises can offer something for everyone – whether you’re looking for non-stop activities or peaceful relaxation (or both!). On Princess, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. While many amenities are included upfront, such as dining and entertainment, some extras such as shore excursions, drink packages and Wi-Fi are additional. The good news? Before you sail, you can purchase packages that make these additional costs very reasonable. For more information, visit princess.com.

About Continuum

 

This is a custom sidebar. Continuum gives you lots of custom sidebar possibilities. You can use the Continuum Theme Options page to specify which pages have a unique sidebar. Or, you can use the same sidebar for all of your pages using the Sidebar Default widget panel. If you do specify that you want a unique sidebar for an area of your site, such as the Search page, you can use the corresponding built-in Sidebar Search widget panel.

In fact, Continuum comes standard with 19 unique sidebars. Wow, we're starting to sound like a car commercial, so we'll add that you don't have to use all of them if you don't want. Continuum harnesses the power of absolute customization while at the same time having a quality of meekness: you can forget about all the settings and get yourself up and running in no time flat.
