How to Enjoy a Multi-Generational Vacation
One of my favorite things to do is book multi-generational trip. I love when grandparents get to the see the joys of their grandchildren as they explore new adventures.It also allows parents to enjoy themselves while a trusted family member is making memories with their children. And its trips like these that lets cousins be kids together.

So what are some vacation options for the whole family?
Cruise Line

Cruise vacations are a natural fit for families and multi-generational trips. Cruise ships such as Royal Caribbean has perfected the kid-centered activities while keeping the adult sophistication. With so many outlets for kids to go be kids, parents don’t have to worry about them being bored and can go enjoy adult life at the specialty restaurants, the many shows/theaters or the spa. With older parents, there's plenty of options to put your feet up on the deck or take in some entertainment with their adult children.

Theme Parks

Every grandparent wants to see the magic and wonder in their grandchildren’s eyes and what better place to do that than Disney and Universal Studio parks. These parks are designed for children of all ages, and the hotels recognize the needs of family. Offering different room accommodations and price points, families can find a way to enjoy each other while having the time of their lives. It’s also a great way for kids with different interests to pair up and go on rides that other family members are tall enough or passionate about.
All-Inclusive Resorts

Lets never forget about all-inclusive resorts , specifically resorts like The Grand Moon Palace or Beaches Turks and Caicos where the resorts are a kid’s paradise. Grandparents can go play tennis while the parents sit poolside and the kids hang out with Elmo, do bumper cars or splash around in the water parks. Then they can meet up for delicious meals where there is something for every one’s taste.
European Vacation

A lot of families are hopping the pond together to visit Europe . They want to experience these big trips with their kids and extended family to experience the culture, history and art together. There are many ways to experience Europe that are not on-foot, which can sometimes be harder on older adults. An ocean cruise is great for the younger kiddos to give them a place to call home for a while. If you are taking older kiddos, a tour group would be perfect. If you are more adult-focused, a river cruise is the way to go, and are becoming more and more popular with the 35-45 year olds.
