Most small ship cruises cater to a more mature clientele. But what we’ve found is that the history and cultural exposure aboard river cruising are fantastic opportunities for kids to be exposed to the greater world! River cruises are perfect for grandparents wanting to spend quality time with their grandkids over the summer or winter break. Not every river cruise line allows children of all ages, but check with our agents about which ships would fit your group. With Un-Cruise, kids 8 and up are allowed on most cruises.
