What is a Worldschooling Cruise?
Imagine spending two weeks with a group of other worldschooling families: kids all become instant friends celebrating their differences in schooling styles, adults finally understand and support each others' unique lifestyle without judgement.
Daily non-stop activities, broadway shows, unlimited food, fancy dinners, dance parties, trivia, live music, waterslides, pool time, new cities and ports to explore on shore, daily gym time and exersice classes, spa and sauna time, casino games, drinks, dessert, amazing conversations, supervised kids activities and so much more.
Cruising is a way to let go, relax and reconnect with your adult self while younger kids enjoy their social time at kids club and older kids roam the ship safely with their friends and have group dinners together.
No more worrying that your kids don't have friends or never being able to have alone time. Imagine thermal spa and gym every day while your children are having the time of their lives. Or maybe cocktails, music and pool lounges. Or you can do trivia, dinners, shows and dance parties.
Whatever you have been missing, you can do it on this cruise.
Worldschooling cruises are a perfect opportunity to spend time with like-minded families, make deep connections and learn from each other

Itinerary at a glance
Itinerary day by day
Barcelona, Spain
The enchanting city of Barcelona offers a gateway to a vibrant blend of culture, history, and modernity. After the cruise, visitors can explore the architectural marvels of Antoni Gaudí, including the iconic Sagrada Família and Park Güell, stroll along the lively La Rambla, visit the historic Gothic Quarter, and enjoy the beautiful beaches. With a rich culinary scene featuring tapas and local wines, numerous museums, and bustling markets like La Boqueria, Barcelona provides a wealth of activities to suit every interest.
Palma De Mallorca, Spain
The Spanish island of Mallorca is a hidden gem. This stunning island offers guests views of towering mountains and dramatic cliffs as well as beautiful beaches. The island's capital city, Palma de Mallorca, is full of quaint historic streets, Gothic castles, delightful culinary options, and local shopping. The atmosphere of this city will make you feel as if you have stepped back into a medieval town.
If you are ready to get out of the city, the island is also home to beautiful beaches and a dramatic cave system with an underground lake where you can enjoy the afternoon on a violin-serenaded boat ride. The island of Mallorca has something that is sure to delight every guest who visits.
Alicante, Spain
Situated on the white sandy beaches and crystal-clear Mediterranean waters of Spain's eastern shore, the lively city of Alicante is rich in Moorish and Spanish history. It's perched at the base of the ancient fortress Castillo de Santa Barbara, where you can climb or take an elevator to explore the castle during your Spain cruise. Wander through the narrow lanes and colorful houses of the Old Town, then head toward the seafront on the Explanada de Espana, a marble-laid promenade. Relax on the golden sand of Playa del Postiguet beach.
Cartagena, Spain
Cartagena greets you with its ancient Mediterranean port on Spain's southeastern coast. Originally governed by the Carthaginians and subsequently by the Romans, Arabs and Castilians, this pedestrian-friendly city is a history buff's dream port. Visit the 2,000-year-old Roman Theatre and the attached museum, where you'll find an ancient altar to Jupiter and a statue of Apollo. Then, check out the late 19th-century modernist architecture of Cartagena's historic center. Cruises to Cartagena, Spain allow you to stroll down blue-marble-tiled pedestrian-only Calle Mayor.
Málaga, Spain
The hub of Spain's southern Costa del Sol, Málaga is the picture of paradise. Scale the hilltop to dramatic La Alcazaba, the sandy-colored Moorish fortress dating back to the 11th century that overlooks this ancient seaside city. Sun yourself on the idyllic beaches of Caleta and Malagueta, taking in views of the mountains across the bay. See the eccentric works of modernist master Pablo Picasso, the city's most famous native son, at the Picasso Museum. Cruise to Málaga and immerse yourself in baroque and renaissance architecture at Málaga Cathedral, with its elaborate arches and stone reliefs depicting the saints, or turn the clock back to the first century A.D. at the ruins of the Roman Theatre.
Days at Sea
Kids
During a day at sea on the "Allure of the Seas," kids can dive into fun at the Splashaway Bay and H2O Zone water parks, ride the whimsical carousel, participate in the Adventure Ocean Youth Program, enjoy thrilling activities like the rock climbing wall and ice skating rink, meet their favorite characters through the DreamWorks Experience, and hang out at the vibrant Boardwalk Arcade.
Adults
During a day at sea on the "Allure of the Seas," adults can relax at the adults-only Solarium, rejuvenate with treatments at the Vitality Spa, work out in the state-of-the-art fitness center, and savor fine dining at Central Park's specialty restaurants. As evening falls, they can enjoy Broadway-style theater shows, try their luck at Casino Royale, sip cocktails at themed bars and lounges, dance at nightclubs, and unwind under the stars on the serene adults-only pool and sun deck.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Fort Lauderdale delivers the best of both worlds— beach basking and glitzy cosmopolitan appeal. From serene Hugh Taylor Birch State Park to the buzzing Boardwalk of Hollywood (that’s Florida, not California), there’s a stretch of sand for every style of beachgoer. And jumbo yachts roam more than 300 miles of waterways in this “Venice of America.” Hitch a ride on the free Water Taxi or cruise on the Jungle Queen Riverboat before or after your Fort Lauderdale cruise. Head to the historic Stranahan House for a glimpse into Fort Lauderdale’s history and be sure to hit its modern-day backyard: the people-watching mecca of Las Olas Boulevard.

We had a ton of fun activities and gatherings on the ship. The other families were awesome and my kid continues to ask about them, two months later. If you're considering going on one of these trips — stop thinking about it and just go. You'll create wonderful memories for years to come!
We are so happy that we found out about the amazing cruise we took with Elena! The entire process was smooth sailing! Our family of four had an amazing time and made such wonderful memories. We are now in love with cruising and can’t wait to take another trip.
It was incredible to connect with other worldschooling families, sharing our alternative schooling experiences with each other and spending time together. Our son immediately made lifelong friends, and we all enjoyed the sense of community on board. We never want to take a "normal" cruise again.

If you want to be a part of the worldschooling cruise group, you need to contact us to book. We spend countless hours putting these group trips together and promoting them to make sure that you have a great group of families to travel with. We do not charge anything for that service, apart from the commission the cruise lines pay us naturally.
Additionally, all the families who book into the group are connected in a Whatsapp group early on to get to know each other and make other plans before and after the cruise.
Worldschooling cruises are DEEPLY educational in their nature. There are multiple public cruise ship organized talks during each sailing on how the ships and operations work that kids and adults can attend. The social experience of spending time with a group of diverse kids from different families in our group is often more educational and valuable than school itself. Some cruise lines offer additional enrichment opportunities throughout the cruise with talks on different topics. There are trivia and game shows daily that can be used as an educational component. We usually try to request the engineer and ship manager to come and give a talk to the kids, however that's subject to ship's approval. Children as young as 10 can have the kind of freedom on the ship that they can't find anywhere else and that, in itself, becomes an incredibly learning and growing experience for many families.
Aside from what was mentioned, there is no additional scheduled educational programming to worldschooling cruises, because the cruise experience is extremely scheduled out and busy with activities in itself. Having other families join in the fun makes it even busier as the kids and adults tend to enjoy the company of like-minded friends.. Most families find that they decide to forego school all together and just let the kids enjoy the freedom and the friendships. We have also found that families appreciate having group time and alone time and adding more activities to what is already scheduled by the ship creates too much stress.
With the cruise ship's scheduled activities and programming, plus having other families join in the fun makes the sailing pretty busy, as the kids and adults tend to enjoy the company of like-minded friends over organized activities. We have found that families appreciate having group time and alone time and adding more activities to what is already scheduled by the ship creates too much stress.
For that reason, we limited scheduled group activities to meet and greet on the first day and then a group dinner that same evening so get to know each other better. That tends to be enough to get everyone acquanted. The kids become instant friends and the adults usually break out into slightly smaller groups of people they resonate with and spend more time with. Depending on the dynamic and personalities, some groups do a lot of things together, others spend more time in smaller groups and occasionally meet all together for parties or dinners.
We usually try to request the engineer and ship manager to come and give a talk to the kids, however that's subject to ship's approval.
There will be a way to communicate with the whole group on the ship, so you can always request company for any activities. All cabins will be linked for dining reservations so it is easy to eat together or separately depending on each family's wishes on daily basis.
During our past cruises, introverts have enjoyed sporadic company of other introverts, while their kids were able to be social and extroverts had fun with the whole group. No matter what you will have the perfect experience for you.
Sea days are the fun days. If you are new to cruising, you might not know yet, just how much fun sea days are. Port days are great for exploring new places, but they can be exhausting and don't really allow any time to explore all the fun features and activities the ship offers. Consecutive sea days give you more of a routine and plenty of time to enjoy your worldschooling group, connect with others, join in the ship's activities and explore the floating "city". The longer I have ever had was 11 consecutive days at sea with the worldschooling group and it was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had.
We do organize Group excursions on many of our Worldschooling Cruises. This is an additional cost to the cruise fare, however we do negotiate very good pricing through the tour operators to keep costs as low as possible. In most cases, it will be much cheaper than booking excursions on your own. You will pay Every Avenue Travel directly for the excursions we organize. We will send out a list of the excursions we will be organizing via the WhatsApp chat for that specific cruise with all of the details you need.
Generally our goal is to always make these excursions as affordable as possible. We organize these trips the way we would do it for our own family. Looking for the biggest deal and the most epic experience and try to balance that out. We spend quite a bit of time searching for and reaching out to local tour operators, negotiating with them on rates and figuring out the best tour itineraries.
One of the biggest goals we have as a company is to always work with locals so that our money goes to people who live there rather than to a call center/corporation. What we try to do is outline some experiences that cannot be done somewhere else. If a destination has something very unique to it, we will do it, as long as it’s in a reasonable price range for that experience.
For example: hobbiton in Tauranga, or glow worm caves in New Zealand, snorkeling in Barrier reef in Honduras, or interacting with sloths. Usually the walking tours in European ports for 2-3 hours tend to be the cheapest options: $30-50 pp
The more intensive excursions are about 80-100 pp, like all day tours or something unique. Once in a while there will be one that is $150 pp, but they are usually really special.
You are always welcome to join or skip any of the group excursions, based on your family's goals or budget.
Yes, on all cruiselines and ships, there's an ability to communicate through the ship's app. Your designated organizer will create a group with everyone's stateroom numbers, so the group can text. Prior to the cruise, there's a WhatsApp group where all communication takes place, as well as a google document with the detailed information that each family chose to share about themself, and tips for the cruise.
Most ships are so large that sea sickness is not an issue, even for those who experience car sickness and small boat sickness. They have very strong stabilizers and the crew does their best to avoid bad weather. In our experience, 2 week ocean crossings usually have about 2 rocky days that do not impact most people. We do recommend bringing some sea sickness pills and patches just in case, but they are rarely needed.
I think that's a question you need to ask yourself. We have never had an issue whether families did not get along.
During our past cruises, introverts have enjoyed sporadic company of other introverts, while their kids were able to be social and extroverts had fun with the whole group. No matter what you will have the perfect experience for you. The more you put into it the more you will get out of it. Be yourself, be authentic, and make time to connect with others. You'll be so happy you did!
