Cruise ships are often a great way to vacation without worrying about money, planning or wanting to go at a different pace than others in your group. However, many cruise lines cater to children and older adults with hefty pocketbooks, leaving millennials in a bit of a limbo. Here are the top 5 cruise lines to check out if you’re somewhere between the Kids’ Center and the casino.
Fathom Cruises
This cruise line is perfect for millennials hoping for a more off-beat cruise ship experience. With Fathom, you actually immerse yourself in the local culture of the destination. Activities include visiting organic farms, volunteering at local schools, swing dancing, relaxing on the beach and everything in between. There is also a full-sized library on board for book lovers to indulge in, as well as a spa and large pool.
Un-Cruises
For the adventurous traveler, there are Un-Cruises. Destinations range from Alaska to Panama, and the possible activities are endless. Itineraries focus on exploring nightlife and culture in a variety of cities while also making time to indulge in outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking mountains, bird watching and more. This cruise line operates small ships in order to take guests into areas otherwise inaccessible by larger boats.
Disney Cruise Line
Despite what you might think, Disney Cruise ships are not just for kids! On Dream and Fantasy, there is a Quiet Cove Pool for those 18-plus where relaxation is plentiful. For fun, these ships have comedy and ventriloquist acts in the evenings and private island excursions during the day. The ships are particularly appealing to college-aged travelers, as you can book a room at 18 years old, instead of the 21 or 23 mandatory minimum most other cruise lines enforce.
Norwegian Cruises
This line is a great bang for your buck, as they are currently offering a Free At Sea promotion where guests can choose two deals from either free fine dining, free WiFi, free drinks or free shore excursions. Norwegian also offers discounts and special accommodations for solo travelers, providing a studio-style room. Young adults traveling on their own can also meet other travelers in the Studio Lounge.
Azamara Club Cruises
Azamara has luxury ships with many aspects that appeal to twentysomethings looking for a journey, rather than just a vacation. Their Cruise Global, Eat Local program immerses guests in the world of the location they are visiting. Moreover, they have late-night and overnight events that make sure the fun never stops.
