Family Reunion Cruises
A Family Reunion Cruise - the Best Family Reunion Ever
More and more families are turning to cruise vacations as a great way to bring the entire family together to celebrate a milestone anniversary or special event. Whether it's a 50th Anniversary or a Wedding Party for 100 guests, cruise lines will go out of their way to welcome your group with special group rates, private cocktail parties, group photos, and more. A cruise ship is the ultimate place to host your Family Reunion. When you compare the value and activities of a cruise vacation with those of a land vacation, you will see that a cruise ship is the perfect setting for your Family Reunion.
Why a Family Reunion Cruise?
Here are the some of the reasons why cruises are becoming one of the most popular vacation options for the Family Reunion Market.
Tremendous Value
Cruises are virtually all-inclusive vacations. One price includes all accommodations, all meals, activities on board the ship, and entertainment. By traveling as a group, you will qualify for special group discounts and rates.
Hassle-Free Vacation
With a Family Reunion Cruise, there is no shopping, no cooking, and no cleaning. There is no waiting in line, no rental cars, no gas bills, no worries. You unpack once and let the ship's crew do the rest. From cleaning your cabin twice a day (including fresh towels), to 24-hour room service, it's all included in your price.
Multi-Generational Floating Resorts
Today's state-of-the-art cruise ships offer something for everyone. With rock climbing walls; ice-skating rinks; roller blade tracks; swimming pools; hot tubs; exercise facilities; movie theaters; Internet cafes; sports bars; libraries; video arcades; kids programs; spa services, shopping; gambling; cooking classes; enrichment seminars; guest lecturers; computer classes; yoga and more, there is plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
A Family Reunion Cruise appeals to kids, grandkids, college-age young adults, Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles, Grandmas and Grandpas. Whether you are 1 or 100, everyone in your family will have a great time.
Accommodations for Any Budget
Forget dealing with the sleeping arrangements. Cruise ships have a number of different types of staterooms for any budget including Suites, Balcony Staterooms, Oceanview Staterooms, and Interior Cabins. Each family can choose which type of stateroom best fits their budget. Some cabins can sleep four or five guests in one room so families with small children do not have to buy more than one cabin.
Convenient Home Port Departures
A Family Reunion Cruise gives out-of-town relatives a reason to attend. With cruise ships departing from 22 ports in the United States and Canada, cruising has never been more convenient. Today, you can find a cruise ship within driving distance of most US cities including Miami, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Galveston, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Seattle to name a few.
Family Dining
When was the last time you all sat down to dinner as a family? On a Family Reunion Cruise, you can do that every night. Each cruise line will make sure that every evening your group enjoys a lavish meal together, allowing you to switch seats at will to socialize with other members of the family. Want to spend a nice quiet evening away from the group? No problem. Many cruise lines offer alternative dining options that give you a chance to enjoy dinner on your own. The best part of all is there's no cleanup after dinner.
Award Winning Entertainment
Today's cruise ships offer first-rate Broadway and Las Vegas-style musical revues; comedians; magic shows; piano bars; high energy discos; and live music to keep your group entertained from sun down to sun up.
Family Fun & Getting to Know Each Other
A Family Reunion Cruise gives your family members a chance to share a common experience. Family activities like private cocktail parties, group shore excursions, late night fun, and festivities will help distant family members get to know one another much better.
High Satisfaction Vacations
Cruises have the highest guest satisfaction rating in the entire travel industry. Cruise Line studies show that groups that travel together on a cruise will return again as a group within two years of their first trip. By planning a Family Reunion Cruise, you have a much better chance of making everyone happy.
