What do you do when you get tired of the cold and the snow? Well, you take a family vacation to a nice, warm place, of course. While there are plenty of options, I highly recommend a cruise. It’s always a great idea because you have everything you need onboard like food and entertainment plus you get to see the sights at several ports of call the ship docks at. Here are some popular cruises to take in wintertime. We included videos of each ship so you can get a good look before you book your family vacation!
