Tahitian Princess @ Christmas

Has anyone done this cruise with their family? My kids are 11 & 13. I know this is a smaller ship and the sea days may get long if their isn't too much going on. Comments?

You won't find many kids on that itinerary, even during the popular holiday season. (Sounds like a fabulous cruise though!) I'll check w/my contacts at Princess to see if the line offers a youth program on that ship.
Smooth sailing,

thanks for the info! You have confirmed my intuition.

If you like that destination (who wouldn't!?!?), you should check out Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Each summer they offer a youth program in Tahiti that sounds wonderful. It's with the Cousteau society and it's very hands on, water oriented.

Smooth sailing,

Interesting. For $195/kid it looks like a pretty good deal. It looks like they are going to have a couple of more sessions during the holidays, but it is unclear whether the program is going to continue into 2007 and beyond.

Our friends went on the Baltic cruise with their extended family on one of Regent's ships this summer. They indicated that the line was very, very nice - although not too many kids on this trip.
