Multigenerational travel is a rising trend, and so are mother-daughter trips.
If you had told me even five years ago that I’d enjoy an international trip with my mother, I would have likely called you insane. Combine that with the close quarters of even the cushiest of cruise cabins, and I’d have gone running for the hills. Instead, after a half-decade of maturation, at age 33, I invited my mom on a work trip to experience Viking’s ocean sailing route, Malta & Adriatic Jewels. We spent an action-packed 11 days exploring multiple ports in three different nations. During and following our trip, I can safely say we had a wonderful time, and I’m already plotting our next grand adventure.
It turns out I’m not alone. According to Leisure Group Travel, 40% of all active leisure travelers have taken at least one multigenerational trip over the last year. I’m here to share why a cruise is the best way to travel as a mother-daughter duo.
I always tell people that my mom is my best traveling partner. I took her to London and Paris in 2019 and we have been traveling every year to a new destination ever since!
