The Caribbean is for all the young at heart, but for family and kids it's something special.
The colors and real life excitement of the islands can't be experienced on TV. Where else can you build your own sand castle, swim in water parks where schools of fish swim so close you will reach out to touch them.
The Caribbean is full of great kids and family fun!
Cruises give a family the ability to see lots of destinations without all the packing and unpacking. Many of the family cruises are loaded with day long activities for kids ( Kids clubs ) as well as time for parents and you will have plenty of family time together. The ports provide historic site seeing, beaches, snorkeling and time for shopping. There are lots of cruises to choose from, and we can find the right ship for your family fun.
Some great Florida resorts (and some in Orlando, Disney World) are set up for families vacations where children can stay free with parents all year around. These resorts have programs, kids clubs and amenities for kids of all ages; snorkeling, diving, story telling, and glass bottom boats, that will provide many healthy memorable experiences. Some resorts will also include a nanny.
Contact one of of our experienced specialist to help you choose from the many family vacation packages available through American Express. Be sure to ask about American Express Rewards and Cardmember Travel Benefits.
