Take the children on the "ultimate stress-free holiday"
A cruise may be the best option for a relaxing holiday with the children this year, it has been suggested.
Writing in the Independent, travel writer Suzanne Cadisch explained the benefits of opting for a cruise when travelling with children.
Firstly, a cruise may reduce the hassle associated with flying to your destination, with no baggage restrictions, transfers, or airport waits.
With appeal for all age groups, cruise ships offer a great selection of activities, from swimming pools and hot tubs, to rock climbing and arcades, as well as top-class entertainment.
Cruise highlights are the visits to a wide variety of destinations, from St Petersburg to Copenhagen, combining city breaks with a maritime adventure.
Ms Cadisch writes: "Cruising has to be the ultimate in a stress-free family holiday.
"Join in or chill out, get fit or get fat, go see the sights or watch the world go by from your favourite on-board bar."
Travellers should be sure to remember that the European Health Insurance Card - which entitles card holders to medical treatment throughout the European Union - is not a replacement for a good travel insurance policy, according to the NHS.
