Family cruises on Cunard Line
Cunard continues the tradition of luxury cruising that began in 1840 — complete with fencing (Queen Victoria), dance classes (Queen Elizabeth) and the only ship offering regularly scheduled transatlantic service between New York and Southampton, England (flagship Queen Mary 2). Cunard is not known as a top choice for family cruising, however.
What’s new: Cunard Line has launched a new series of shore excursions featuring an exclusive Macy’s Fashion Breakfast in New York City, England’s Christmas Capital, VIP Royal Tour of London and Berlin Highlights Tour.
For babies: The Night Nursery is available for children ages 12-23 months from 6 pm to 11 pm.
For kids: Kids ages two to seven are invited to the Play Zone, a play area stocked with books, toys, puzzles, computer games and more. The Kids Zone is for eight- to 12-year-olds and features video-game consoles, sports competitions and scavenger hunts.
For teens: Team games and deck sports are available by day, while evenings bring pizza and dance parties.
