Why Take a Family Cruise Vacation


cruise.jpg

Thinking of where you’d like to sweep your family off to on your next vacation? Why not take a cruise vacation?

Cruises have become hugely popular among families for a variety of reasons. For starters, your family can travel to different destinations without having to pack and unpack from one city to the next. Because you’re staying in a floating hotel, you need not have to carry around a bunch of luggage all over the globe. This is definitely a godsend, specially for parents with babies and small kids who almost always have more gadgets and thingamajigs than their parents.

And yes, because cruise ships travel to different ports, you and your family can enjoy a diverse itinerary that’s been carefully planned for you. Star Cruises, for example, recently announced six day-five night cruises that depart from Manila. SuperStar Virgo’s itinerary includes a visit to Laoag, the capital of Ilocos Norte with its Spanish colonial buildings, baroque churches, and white sand beaches; Kaohsiung, the largest southern port city in Taiwan which is a center of Chinese culture and cuisine; and Hong Kong, famous the world over for its exciting selection of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

A cruise vacation offers a singularly spectacular experience. Because you and your family are billeted in a virtual floating city, you enjoy all the conveniences of modern living. Most cruise ships have restaurants, theaters, swimming pools, gyms, and spas to keep their guests entertained. There are also a selection of activities to choose from to keep you and your family happy from port to port.

At SuperStar Virgo, you and your family can expect an all-encompassing cruise voyage in deluxe accommodations, with up to six sumptuous meals daily, and spectacular performances.

Cruises offer great value for your money. Star Cruises is offering an Early Bird Discount starting from P24,500 per person (twin share) for cruise departures on 19, 24 and 29 March 2017 at the Superstar Virgo; third and fourth persons (Quad share) can enjoy an additional 50 percent off from P12,250 per person.

Plus, a cruise vacation allows you to bring all the pasalubong you want. Star Cruise offers an almost unlimited baggage allowance so you can really shop till you drop!

“Star Cruises was the first major cruise line to recruit Filipinos 23 years ago for our cruise ships and now we are pleased to be the first international cruise line to welcome Filipinos on board SuperStar Virgo as our guests from our homeport in Manila. Worldwide, nearly 25 million people have enjoyed a cruise in 2016 and we are extending this opportunity for Filipinos to join their ranks from Manila – and at an affordable price,” says Star Cruises President Ang Moo Lim.

For more information and reservations, call  Star Cruises at (632) 836 6830/ 31/ 32 or visit www.starcruises.com.

We asked moms to share the most meaningful lessons We asked moms to share the most meaningful lessons they’ve learned from their kids — and the answers are as heartfelt as they are powerful. 💖

From learning patience (again and again), to letting go of worry and not sweating the small stuff… to being inspired to keep growing and learning — our children shape us just as much as we shape them. 🥹✨

These reflections come from the inspiring moms featured in MOMentous — Mommy Mundo’s Portraits and Profiles exhibit at Expo Mom, which celebrates stories of purpose, strength, and presence in the motherhood journey. ✨

What has your child taught you lately? 💭

It’s week 19 of our #yearofconnection ! Don’t It’s week 19 of our #yearofconnection ! Don’t forget to take time for a fun Connection Question convo with the fam this weekend! ❤️✨

We’re aiming to make 2025 a year of Connection through our weekly activity.
 
The best time to have these casual discussions would be when in relax mode with your children. Sit together, (set aside the gadgets!) remove possible distractions, and be present ✨❤️ Take turns asking each other this question for week 6! Just listen and simply acknowledge the sharing.:) 

Even if tempted to dish out advice or to react, this isnt the time for that. Allow for a safe space, and connections will flow and follow.🫶🏻🙏🏼 

Most importantly, enjoy this time together! 

…

Join us weekly for this activity and after 50 questions, we will end the year more connected and attuned with ourselves and each other. If you just heard about this now, check out our highlights to get started! ✨
