Families with babies might not think of cruising as a way to get away, but for an easy life, this 12-night holiday to Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar on Ventura, with P&O Cruises, is what you’re after.
There are no flights so you don’t have the hassle of hanging around airports, it’s a straight (round) trip from Southampton. It’s perfect if you’re looking to save money on your summer holiday as under-twos travel for £1 each, this includes a cot, bottle-warmers and baby food.
The best big: the ship has a free night nursery where, between 6pm and 2am, you can leave babies aged six months and up with the nannies.
