Ocean Cruise Lines
At Magic Lamp Vacations®, we’re not your typical cruise travel agents. For us, it’s never just about booking your cruise—it’s about creating a custom vacation game plan that’s perfectly tailored to your family. We advise, advocate, and coach you on how to maximize your budget, your fun, and your memories, while minimizing the stress, guesswork, and headaches. Your family deserves the best adventure possible. And you deserve a planning experience that’s just as smooth, simple, and exciting as the trip itself!
Our Travel-Planning Genies℠ Love to Answer...
What’s the best cruise line and ship for my family’s style and budget?
What’s actually included in the price—and what’s worth upgrading?
When’s the best time of year to cruise to the Caribbean, Alaska, or beyond?
Our ocean cruise experts have first-hand knowledge to answer all these questions—and even a few you didn’t know you should be asking!
If you’re thinking an Ocean Cruise is just “lounging on a ship,” think again…
There’s a reason we keep coming back to Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and more, even with all the vacation options in the world—and it’s this: the level of family-friendly service, entertainment, and adventure on today’s ocean cruises is absolutely unmatched.
Add in the jaw-dropping ships—think onboard water parks, Broadway-style shows, ice skating rinks, surf simulators, and so much more—and you’ll quickly agree: this is first-class family fun at its finest.
But don’t think cruising is all about lazy days and endless buffets. In fact, there’s so much to do on a cruise ship and at each destination, that if you’re not prepared, you can easily miss some of the best experiences!
That’s where we come in—helping you navigate the options so your family’s trip is packed with all the memories you actually want (and none of the stress you don’t).
Surf simulators? Broadway-style shows? On-Board Water Parks?
The answers, in case you’re curious, are “awesome,” “yes,” and “heck yes!”—and we’ll show you how to take full advantage of it all.
Don’t forget about the jaw-dropping entertainment you can only find at sea—from ice skating spectaculars on Royal Caribbean ships to live musicals straight from Broadway stages. Some sailings even have water shows, laser shows, or deck parties that feel bigger than anything you’d find on land—and we’ll make sure you’re in the perfect spot to soak it all in.
And yes, just like any cruise you'll have Port Excursions…
But it’s easy to get bogged down in all the options—unless, of course, you let us guide you to the ports, excursions, and hidden gems that are the best fit for your family’s style and sense of adventure!
Here’s the bottom line—we’ve sailed on Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, and more—and we know all the tips, tricks, and insider secrets… including the ones other travelers don’t even know exist.
