Relaxation is the top priority aboard these luxurious boats, but for kids---ahoy, matey!---it's adventure all the way. Their imaginations will see pirate booty and mermaids in the fog. Kids can build up their nautical know-how, learn to hoist the sails and even take a turn at the helm.
Kids can enjoy the sights from the deck while gazing through binoculars. Spot whales, dolphins and seals in their natural habitats as well as lobster boats (in some places) and other vessels under sail. They can take in the wonder of the open sea.
Depending on the itinerary, kids can explore shore excursions such as tide-pool exploring, scavenger hunts and other kid-focused activities.
In the waters of the Caribbean and other balmy climes, water sports abound. Kids can learn to sail, kayak, windsurf and snorkel amid coral reefs.
It's a laid-back adventure on a Windjammer, so kids capable of entertaining themselves get the most out of the trips. But book a family-style trip to ensure other children are on the journey. Who wants to play pirate alone?
