Uniworld offers multigenerational river cruises"Family-friendly" itineraries feature 50% discounts for kids from 8 to 18 LOS ANGELES -- According to a new survey conducted by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and Cruise Critic, "Cruising can be a great choice for multigenerational travel, with over 60% of the respondents on this survey saying they sometimes or always travel as an extended family (with grandparents and/or grandchildren)." Uniworld understands this, and has developed multigenerational family-friendly river cruises specifically to appeal to grandparents and parents who wish to share the gift of Europe with the special young people in their lives. Uniworld offers special family pricing with young people between 8 and 18 traveling at 50% off the cruise price when traveling with an adult.

Uniworld's multigenerational programs provide the opportunity for families to
explore amazing countries, gain valuable insights, and intimately learn about
different cultures up-close and personal as a family. "It is important to note

our programs is to give young travelers an understanding of European culture,
art, music and history in an engaging way," adds Young. Family-friendly itineraries include: A 9-day Castles Along the Rhine River Cruise sailing the Rhine River between Amsterdam and Basel.
