Thank you for your suggestion. My husband and I were in Norway not too long ago and visited Flam while we were there. I agree a Fjord cruise would be great with kids but we were hoping to explore somewhere new as a family 🙂

Thank you! Your info was super helpful 🙂

Thanks for your thoughtful insights 🙂

Yes I am aware of the long distances from Port to city in the Med. I am definitely looking for an itinerary with smaller/more walkable ports no matter our destination. It's been a few years since my husband and I have been to Europe and this will be our first international trip with our kids so that's why we thought a European cruise would be nice (the unpack once and ease of meals etc. on a cruise seem like such a good idea with kids). My husband and I have cruised a few times before and done tons of more "backpack" style traveling before kids. I will look into Scandinavia too. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a few cruise port books on hold at the library so hopefully that will also help me narrow down my choices.

Thank you. Yes I have posted on the family forum, however, it's just not as active as these more destination specific ones. My biggest issue is trying to decide between a Med and British Isles itinerary...lol too many choices 🤪 🙂 Thank you for the link I will definitely check it out.

Thank you for all the great information! I never would have thought of a Panama Canal cruise. I will definitely check out your trip reports. 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion but we are not fans of Disney 🙂

Thanks. Yes we definitely prefer smaller ports. And I will have a look at those book recommendations 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks! Yes I agree a good puddle is the best 🙂

Hello, My husband and I are thinking of doing a European cruise from Southampton UK next spring (April-ish). We have two young kids (will be ages 2.5 and 4.5 at time of cruise). What are some of your favorite European cruise ports to do with kids? Typically we like smaller more walkable towns/cities with a few fun thing for the kids (cool playgrounds, kid friendly museums, nature attractions, park walks, etc.). Thanks 🙂 Sarah.
