Multi-gen getaways are one of 2018’s hottest travel trends and if you’re looking for some exciting options, check out our lineup of family travel faves:
Need to keep an eye on your crew? As your CAA Consultant will tell you, cruise lines at every price point feature staterooms that range from spacious, multi-bedroom lofts, to adjoining balconies that create family-friendly outdoor play and gathering spaces.
Babysitting services, kids clubs, kid-friendly menu choices and activities geared to everyone from two to ninety-two are also available. Cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Disney, Carnival and Norwegian feature skating rinks, bumper cars, surf simulators, skydiving enclosures, pools, waterparks complete with towering waterslides, Broadway-quality shows, first-run movies, wandering character mascots eager for selfie-posing and much more.
Family-oriented travel has also exploded into the previously sedate river cruise world. Adventures by Disney now has kid-friendly itineraries on Europe’s Danube River, partnering with the AmaViola, a river cruise ship refitted especially for families. Remember…when the kids are happy, the whole family’s happy!
Orlando offers Disney, Universal, and a staggering range of other amusement parks and entertainment venues. If you’re looking for cost-effective accommodations that give you flexibility and the opportunity to explore beyond Orlando’s borders, nearby Kissimmee, Florida offers more rental housing than any other city in the world. Ranging from modest bungalows to full-on mansions, with swimming pools, brilliantly equipped kitchens, Disney-themed bedroom décor and even in-house movie theatres – these accommodations save you money! Your rental home kitchen allows you to have breakfast at home and pack lunches etc. – a savings that could translate into an extra day at a theme park!
Not keen on the theme-park pace? Fort Walton Beach, Panama City Beach and Pensacola – in northern Florida – offer off-the-beaten path beachy fun at affordable prices. You’ll even find the quiet solitude of small lakes and rivers where you’re more likely to see a muskrat than a Mouseketeer. Rent kayaks and fishing gear and discover a whole new Florida!
Whether you’re driving down to the Sunshine State or jetting off on a family trip to Europe, make sure you and your family are protected with CAA Travel Insurance. Purchasing a policy before you go allows you and the fam to enjoy your time away without having to worry about unexpected medical expenses.
