Looking for the Perfect Anniversary Gift for Your Parents?

gift anniversary cruise
Look no further! It may be something that you want to save for, or maybe invite numerous family members to chip in, but there are many Reasons a Cruise is the Best Gift You Could Give to Your Parents on their Anniversary. 

Once you have decided on giving this amazing gift for an anniversary (or other momentous occasion), now is the time to do some research on planning the trip. Will you plan the cruise so that your parents can spend their actual special day onboard? If so, you might want to give it to them ahead of time so have plenty of time to pack, stop the mail, etc. Then, find the perfect cruise line that they would enjoy. Have they cruised before and have a favorite? Have they been wanting to go to a particular destination? And where do they enjoy staying when onboard a ship? A travel agent or direct cruise line representative will be happy to help you make these booking decisions. (Hint: If your budget affords it, a veranda cabin is always romantic.) 


Finally, find a spectacular way to surprise them with the cruise. Fill a box or tote bag with fun nautical or tropical paraphernalia, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, even a toy boat. Include the cruise brochure so they have something tangible to get excited about. An anniversary only happens once-in-a-lifetime, and a once-in-a-lifetime cruise is the perfect way to celebrate!

    About the Author

    Thanks for cruising by!
    ​​I'm the creator behind this blog, where I share our family’s love for travel, especially cruising. By day, I work full-time in an office—and all the time, I'm a proud mom to two amazing young men. We took our first cruise when they were energetic little boys, and I’ve included plenty of tips for traveling with kids in tow.

    With our packed work and school schedules, we cherish every holiday break and make the most of our time off. We gravitate toward cruises and luxury hotel stays, always on the lookout for family-friendly experiences that offer comfort, elegance, and a touch of indulgence—think spacious suites, gorgeous décor, excellent service, and memorable dining.

    When we're not traveling, you’ll find me enjoying local restaurants or getting creative in my own kitchen with cooking and baking.
    Start dreaming—and planning—your next luxurious getaway, whether by sea or on land, with My Virtual Vacations. I'm always happy to answer questions or offer personalized recommendations to help you make the most of your travels. Be sure to check back often for new blog posts, travel tips, and inspiration—there are always more family adventures on the horizon!
    You'll also find me on Cruise Critic boards as​ SunnyAJ.  Let's connect! ​

    Upcoming Adventures...

    I’m beyond excited to share that we’ll be sailing on the Celebrity Beyond again this summer! We'll be staying in The Retreat, enjoying a stunning suite and all the elevated perks that come with it. I can't wait to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the experience—so if you’ve ever considered booking a suite, stay tuned for plenty of insights and tips!

    We’re also heading to one of our favorite places--Boca Raton, Florida—for a relaxing land vacation. It’s truly our happy place, and I’ll be sharing highlights from our stay there as well.
