Spring break will be here before you know it! Check out these cruises to book now and save.

Navigator recently completed a $115 million overhaul that includes plenty of family fun and adventure, including laser tag, an escape room, and the cruise line's first-ever aqua coaster on board. Spring break-ready five-night sailings in April run Sunday to Thursday nights from Miami.

Four and five-night sailings from San Diego allow plenty of time to explore this Southern California city and all that it offers either before or after your Disney cruise to the beach destinations of Mexico. Think San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, La Jolla sea caves, and the USS Midway.

The fact that Carnival recently moved its second newest ship to the Port of Galveston is a testament to the fun found in both the departure island city and the itineraries it serves. Choose seven nights in the Western Caribbean, visiting either Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel, or Montego Bay, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

If spring break for your family is about more than fun in the sun, treat your daughters, granddaughters or nieces on an inspirational cruise with Captain Kate McCue at the helm of the ship. The onboard vibe on Celebrity ships tends to be a bit laid back, with fewer small children, and far fewer partying college-age kids. Captain Kate (as she prefers to be called) sails a Caribbean 7-night route from Miami through March 30.

European river cruises are not always known for catering to families traveling with children, but select AmaWaterways ships have connecting staterooms that make it easy for families to explore the rivers of Europe, What better start than with a spring break trip filled with fun, flowers, windmills, and history?

A coastal Norway cruise is the ideal way to see the Northern Lights in March, and a select handful of Hurtigruten's ships offer a Young Explorer program for kids ages 7 to 13. The complimentary program features onboard activities focusing on nature, climate and culture.

Yes, you can do Hawaii on Spring Break-but you can only do it with NCL. March and April cruises sail seven nights round-trip from Honolulu, with overnights on Maui and Kauai, and stops in both Hilo and Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, allowing plenty of time for fun and exploration before the break is over.

It's not too late to book a 7-night Miami roundtrip in March on Symphony, making your tribe among some of the first to explore the ship from its homeport of Miami. Slide down the tallest slide at sea, play laser tag or zip line nine decks above the Boardwalk on sea days, and explore the beaches of Nassau, St. Thomas, and St. Kitts.

One look at the profile of MSC Seaside tells you there is something quite different about this ship designed to mirror the beachfront resorts of its home port of Miami. There's plenty of fun onboard the ship and in its ports of call on a 7-night Miami roundtrip, visiting Nassau, San Juan, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten.

Obviously, not everyone looking to book a cruise during March and April is traveling with children. The best near or completely kid-free cruise options for March and April of 2019 are on Windstar, Silversea, Viking Ocean, Holland America, and Azamara.
