Popular cruise options for family vacations include the Caribbean and Mediterranean. However, there are plenty of other destinations when it comes to cruising with the family. There are even a few remote destinations that may pique the interest of your family. Today, I am sharing a few remote destinations you should consider when you want to cruise during a family vacation.  

Consider a Cruise to a Remote Destination 

Papua New Guinea 

New Guinea is an area filled with islands. The main island is Papua. You can easily explore that large island during a family vacation. However, if you want to experience the authentic parts of New Guinea, you need to visit the other islands. The best way to do that is during a cruise. Most of the cruises in New Guinea stop at seven or eight ports of call. That’s a lot of islands to see during a family vacation!  

The best part of this cruise to a remote destination is you will see islands many other travelers have never seen. This is due to the fact that the only people who visit these islands are those that are on cruise ships.  

South Georgia  

South Georgia is a remote island in the southern Atlantic Ocean. There is no landing strip on this island. Therefore, the only way anyone can get there is via boat. If you choose to cruise to this remote destination, you will be greeted by the largest colony of penguins in the entire world. There are other animals living on the island. But no people. If you are looking for solitude, you will definitely find it on this island.  

This is one of the remote destinations you can visit during a cruise to the Falklands, as well as Antarctica.  

Faroe Islands 

Up in the northern Atlantic Ocean, you can head off the beaten path by taking a cruise to the Faroe Islands. The islands are part of Denmark. These volcanic islands have been around since at least the 8th century.  

It can be cold on the Faroe Islands all year long. Layers will be needed if you want to explore.  

The North Pole 

Another colder part of the world is the North Pole. Taking a cruise to the North Pole is one of the best ways to see the Arctic. This can be one of the more extreme adventures. It is important to be prepared for the journey with warm clothes and an “I can do” attitude.  

A couple of the activities you can do during a cruise to the North Pole include a hot air balloon ride, a helicopter tour, and a polar plunge.  

Easter Island 

Easter Island is one of the most remote destinations in the world. You will find this island a couple of thousand miles off the mainland of Chile. On this island, you will find a site called Moai. It is where massive stone statues are located. No one has any idea what the significance of those statues is or when they were put in place.  

These are the remote destinations you should consider when you want to cruise during a family vacation. Yes, your cruise will take you far away from the crowds and popular destinations. However, it won’t be an experience you will ever regret. Especially since you will be making a ton of memories with your family throughout the entire trip.  Oh, and if you aren’t ready to cruise to remote destinations, check out the other unique cruise destinations for family vacations.
