Cape Town - There's fun onboard for the whole family on a Uniworld Boutique River Cruise with their special multi-generational, family-friendly river cruises.
Designed to meet the needs of the whole family with special shore excursions and pricing for children and teens, these special cruises are not to be missed.
Parents love cruising because it's really good value for money-activities, meals and great accommodation all for one price, including structured and supervised programming for the children. And in 2014 there is more value to be enjoyed with the fully inclusive programme which includes all tipping and on board drinks.
River cruising allows grandparents the opportunity to show their grandchildren the world. And they're an easy way to get everyone in the family on board.
Children - especially tweens and teens - give ships the green light because they love the freedom they can have on board and the chance to make new friends.
These are just some of the reasons why cruising is the perfect multi-generational family holiday. Other reasons include spending quality time together in an unhurried, unpressured environment, being able to reconnect as a family and of course pooling your holiday budget to get more for your money.
Nowadays grandparents are increasingly fit and active and this means lots of opportunities for adventure and shore activities. When families are scattered around the country (Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg) it can be difficult to see each other but a planned holiday together will do wonders for family bonding.
Uniworld Boutique River Cruises has three dedicated Family itineraries for Europe including Castles Along the Rhine, Paris & Normandy and Classic Christmas Markets.
Children can enjoy a special menu with kid-friendly food options, cooking classes with the pastry chefs plus a special tour of the ship with the Captain.
The games room is equipped with PlayStation or Wii and there are lots of onboard games and movies to choose from.
The adults will enjoy unlimited beverages, signature lectures and more. These multi-generational river cruises sail onboard the River Queen and the River Baroness, enjoying the Captain's Welcome Gala and Farewell Dinner, unlimited beverages which include distinctive wine, craft beers, spirits, cocktails, cappuccinos, lattes, fine teas and mineral water.
Guests will also enjoy wonderful shore excursions, the exclusive Epicurean Adventurer Programme and arrival and departure transfers.
