In the ever-changing landscape of travel, a trend that's making waves is 'Multigenerational Travel'. Gone are the days of age-defined holidays. Today, it's all about cherishing family bonds amidst thrilling adventures and discerning cultural exchanges. Pack the bags for grandma, grandpa, and the little ones too; make fun and creative memories and an increasing trend is that Grandma and Grandpa may foot the bill.

While there are many types of experiences to enjoy together, it’s always important to keep in mind the Why? For these traveling families, they want to spend time together and make memories without the distractions of life. Schedules are busy and it’s not easy to coordinate everyone at once, so the offer of a vacation sponsored by the grandparents proves to be incentive to clear schedules.

What will capture the interest of your family? Cruises, yachts, Italian villas, family heritage trips, all-inclusive resorts, adventure, safaris, and the Galapagos are options that make everyone happy. Ocean ship cruising offers something for all ages. Some ships are small cities with kids' clubs, rides, games, shows and adults only options. All this before the first port to explore a new destination each day. Cruise the Caribbean for sun, the Mediterranean for culture, history and cuisine, and Alaska for outdoor adventure and scenery. 

River cruising no longer trends only toward our seasoned travelers. Many river cruises target families with active and engaging experiences onboard and at each port. The ports are nestled in cities and towns for ease of exploring on your own or tours. You won’t find a water slide onboard, but you may find a pool on the top deck and a movie theater for the short times on the ship.

Some of us never learn to share so if space and your own pace is what your family wants, chartering a yacht is a fabulous way to island or city hop without a strict agenda. Enjoy water sports right off the yacht, hop off for the day to explore islands on your own and return to a fresh meal prepared from your onboard staff. Imagine sharing the Galapagos with your children and grandchildren when they find themselves face to face with a sea lion and observing sea life in their natural habitat. You can have a land-based trip in unique hotels, stay on small boats or the largest ship at 100 passengers which offers a luxurious onboard experience. The Galapagos is definitely a bucket list destination, and the memories are sure to last forever. 

Who doesn’t love the stories from generations past? Family heritage trips keeps these stories alive by learning the roots of your heritage together. Many companies specialize in this area and help you find the answers to those burning questions about where it all started!

Unfolding the mysteries of the African wilderness as a family is an unparalleled experience.

Imagine the awe your little granddaughter would express when she sees a Giraffe for the first time!

Adventure travel invites all travelers no matter the age or fitness level on e-bike tours, hiking and walking tours. Try the Via Ferrata in the Dolomites, skiing in the Alps, and a zipline in Costa Rica. Whether you want to race down the mountain together or sip hot chocolate in the chalet cheering for your favorite grandchild, it’s quality time and memories cherished forever.
