Families looking to travel and experience a host of unique activities will find that cruises offer a lot of value if they are willing to do their homework to find deals that include children for free or reduced fares, according to WiseBread. MSC Cruises, for example, is a European carrier with trips coming out of Miami that offers a 'kids sail free' policy on many cruises. To qualify, there must be two full-fare paying adults, and it includes up to two children on each trip. Likewise, Royal Caribbean has free kids options on select cruises along with frequent discounts for second guests that can be used to bring a child along. Most cruise lines have activities specifically geared towards kids and some, like Carnival, even have a free, supervised kids' club to give adults more time to relax.
