Without a doubt, multigenerational travel is one of the hottest trends going. Multigenerational vacations bring the entire family together to enjoy exciting adventures and to make memories that last a lifetime.

Thirty-six percent of vacation bookings are multigenerational, according to travel association figures. The 55 and older generation worked hard, invested well and many of them are already enjoying retirement.

Yet, 54 percent of grandparents say they wish they had more time to spend with their grandchildren. And now, they have found the way; grandparents are taking the lead and booking trips for their whole family.

Tricia Scott, agent at Visit Mickey Vacations, reports an increase in multigenerational travel in the past few years. Travel to Disney offers plenty of trips for all ages that have nothing to do with parks or with Mickey Mouse.

Scott answers a few questions about multigenerational trips.

WHAT ARE THE BEST TRIPS?

It’s a destination that can fit everyone’s pace. Nobody wants to feel left behind or the one holding everyone else back. Babies and grandparents may want a slower pace. Teens tend to be in a hurry.

So, what are the best options?

TRY A CRUISE

Disney Cruise Line ships have activities and areas specifically designed for the entire family. They also have several adults-only areas, including spas and nightclubs.

Kids, too, have their areas which are conveniently divided by age groups.

Disney Cruise Line ships stop at a private island, Castaway Cay, on trips to the Bahamas or to the Caribbean. Other trips include cruises to ports in Alaska, Europe, Mexico, California and the Canadian coasts.

Royal Caribbean, which is not affiliated with Disney, is another cruise line that does a great job with families. If you like to gamble, that might be a choice because Disney ships do not have onboard casinos.
