As nights start to fade into days and the seasons begin to change, the time to book the perfect family vacation is quickly approaching. And what better way to spend quality family time together than on a quick cruise getaway onboard Royal Caribbean?
Royal Caribbean is a trailblazer in family-friendly cruises with incredible onboard amenities, thrilling waterslides, and impeccable onshore excursions for kids and adults. But most importantly, they anticipate your family’s needs before you even book by offering a wide range of itineraries for every kind of traveler.
Family vacations are the perfect way to create life-long memories – but the typical week-long to month-long trips can be expensive and time-consuming for everyone. That’s why Royal Caribbean offers shorter action-packed cruise itineraries for busy, budget-friendly families.
Relax in overwater cabanas in the Caribbean or enjoy fresh seafood bites in Mexico – and be back home before the week is over! Here are our top quick cruise getaways onboard Royal Caribbean for a tropical escape that will be short but sweet.
