By the time my kids, Mila and Joe, were tweens, they’d become pretty savvy travelers. We had traveled as a family all over Mexico and Central America, to French Polynesia, and around Southeast Asia—Joe had even tagged along with me on a work trip to Egypt. But a family trip to Europe? Nope. I had been urged by a few well-traveled friends to save Europe for a time when my children would really appreciate it, when they could enthusiastically spend not just hours but consecutive days wandering museums and historical sites, when their palettes could handle sophisticated flavors, and when 10 p.m. dinners wouldn’t destroy the following day. I’m not sure why I chose to listen to this parenting advice while cavalierly ignoring all sorts of other cautionary tales and whispered warnings, especially since my kids ate everything, had been visiting museums since their toddler days, and frequently stayed up to 1 a.m. But I did, and year after year, kept punting on a family trip to Italy or Greece, countries I knew and loved and couldn’t wait to share with my kids when the time was right.

Families come in all shapes and sizes—and luckily, so do cruise ships. The best cruise lines for families may feature itineraries that can entertain multiple generations, onboard babysitters and kids’ clubs, accessibility options for grandparents, or entertainment for fickle teens.

To see Rome properly, you need several days, maybe even a week. Cruisers don’t have that privilege, however. Cruise lines that advertise the Eternal City on their itineraries don’t actually dock in the non-coastal Italian capital, but in Civitavecchia, a port city located 43 miles northwest of Rome. Despite the distance, and the short time allotted to cruisers in Rome (usually one day), it’s possible to see the highlights of the city in five hours or less.

After more than a decade of delays and much anticipation, the Grand Egyptian Museum has opened its 12 main galleries, the Grand Staircase, and the Children's Museum. The caveat is that its prized King Tutankhamun collection and two King Khufu solar boats will remain under wraps until the yet-to-be-announced official opening. Nevertheless, there is plenty to see, with 15,000 artifacts spanning as far back as 700,000 BCE, up until the 4th century AD.

There are many reasons why you may be wondering how to become a flight attendant. Many travelers see the career as an opportunity to jet set around the world (and get paid to do so), while others are drawn to the job’s human-facing elements—one colleague told me that she was inspired to become a flight attendant after two cabin crew members heroically performed CPR on her mother mid-flight.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and even Travel Tuesday will wrap up this week, but that doesn't mean travelers can't save on their next getaway all December.
