SHORT CRUiSE VACATiONS
You only need to use a few days of a school break to set sail on a short cruise vacation. On 3-, 4- and 5-day itineraries, you can still explore multiple countries, feast on an array of tantalizing dishes and catch amazing Broadway-caliber shows. These cruise vacations embark from convenient ports around the country— like the New York metro area, Florida, Texas, California and Washington— so they’ re a quick flight or car ride away.
Once on board, most of your family’ s needs will be covered by the cruise fare. We’ re talking spacious accommodations, daily entertainment and delicious meals from an array of included restaurants. Add in family-friendly activities like onboard waterparks, escape rooms, go-kart tracks, karaoke and special areas for kids and teens, and everyone in your crew will be thoroughly entertained.
If you want to go big and use the entire spring or fall break for your cruise, your options expand tenfold. Jet off to Barcelona for a week long cruise across the Mediterranean. Head to Alaska and get up close and personal with a few skyscraping glaciers. Or head to Ecuador for an expedition voyage to the Galápagos Islands.
