Cruising is the ultimate family stress free vacation. Large ships are designed with kids-only facilities, counselors, planned activities and babysitting. Most cruise lines welcome children to travel on their ships, though infants and pregnant women are subject to some restrictions. Cruising can be just as exciting and as much fun for "toddlers to teens" as it is for their parents. To meet this growing trend and to make cruising even more fun for the family, the major cruise lines now have special programs for children that include everything from baby-sitting services to computer labs featuring the latest technology.

Several cruise lines offer special shore excursions geared to children! Holland America Line offers Alaska shore excursion just for kids and Princess Cruises offers the "Adventures Ashore" program that offers a wide range of in-port- tours designed for children of all ages. Family cruise is a shared and treasured by all!
