A family cruise Alaska vacation can be the perfect way to please everyone in your home, from kids to seniors.
There is an incredible array of activities on an Alaskan cruise, both on the ship and on shore at the various ports of call, including Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway.
Onboard, modern cruise ships have activities for kids and teens that surpass even many of the best land-based resorts.
For kids (usually ages 3-12), cruise ships offer organized programs with such activities as:
- Arts and crafts
- Karaoke shows
- Scavenger hunts
- Educational programs
- Talent shows
- Sports tournaments
For teens, a combination of less structured entertainment and organized events is usually available, including:
- Playstation gaming
- Movie screenings
- Karaoke shows
- Board games and ping pong
- Themed parties
- Sports tournaments
Because some older ships lack dedicated teen centers, make sure that your ship has this type of facility before you book a trip.
In addition to these child and teen programs, ships have many events and activities suitable for the whole family, from basketball to mock game shows to indoor and outdoor pools.
During visits to the various Alaskan ports, there are many on-shore events and excursions for families, including such diverse and unique activities as:
- Dog sledding on glaciers
- Float trips down rivers
- Whale watching trips
- Rainforest tours and canopy zip line adventures
- Wildlife and bear viewing trips
There are literally dozens of great shore excursions available for families, or you can simply explore the port towns on your own.
While it may not be an obvious choice for a summer getaway, a family cruise Alaska vacation can really be one you and your kids will remember for a long time.
