So many family vacations involve traveling to be near water whether it’s at the beach, resort pool or campground. But did you know that a family trip on water can be an affordable alternative?

Cruises can be a perfect fit for families. They offer a wide-arrange of activities, amazing kids clubs, affordable itineraries and more. Mom, Dad and the kids-there is something for everyone which is why more families are heading to the high seas!

Join us as we welcome family travel expert Kim Milnes to chat about family vacations, cruises and more Thursday, May 9th at 8pm ET! We’ll be chatting about family travel, tips for trips with kids, family cruises and the inaugural voyage of the new Norwegian Cruise Lines ship the Breakaway! Prizes include two $250 travel gift certificates from Adventures by Kim, a $50 Spafinder gift card, one Trunki ($60 value) and some Norwegian Cruise Lines goodies!

There are so many reasons why cruises can be great for families. First of all, cruises bring new meaning to the phrase ‘getting there is half the fun.’ While you travel to new ports, you can have a TON of fun at on-board water parks, shows, parades and even fireworks. Kids clubs offer so many things for young seafarers to do while mom and dad get some time alone with each other or side-by-side at a spa. And taking a family cruise might be more affordable than you think — special packages can actually help you save money on food and activities while vacationing, and many families live a car drive away from a port, which eliminates having to buy airline tickets.

What does the new ship Breakaway have to offer families? In addition to having three, award-winning Broadway shows and a fireworks show, there’s also Splash Academy (a game and activity area for kids age 3-12), Entourage (a club for teens), a sports complex complete with rock climbing, mini golf and trampolines, a Nickelodeon-themed water park, and five multi-story waterslides, including Free Fall — the fastest waterslide at sea.
