Vacations are perfect in this day and age for grandparents raising their grandchildren or who are looking for a way to bond with kids attached to their tech devices. But it takes some planning to make sure you’ll all enjoy the trip.

“Traveling with your grandchildren is a wonderful experience that creates special memories,” says Nicole Loomis of Confetti Travel Co.

Nina Fogelman, director of Ancient Summit, said to include the kids in the planning of any vacation: “The basics are the basics. We have had multi-generational families and travelers who carry infants on their backs through Machu Picchu. Much is doable these days.”

Loomis advises grandparents to choose a location that will appeal to different age groups and offer amenities to keep everyone safe and happy.

“A cruise is a perfect choice for a multigenerational vacation because it has a lot to offer guests with different requirements,” she said.

A word of caution if you’re traveling out of the country: “If grandparents will be traveling without any parent of their grandchildren, they should carry a legal document authorizing them to travel with the children and to care for the children in medical emergencies,” said Margie Lenau of Wonderland Family Vacations. “The children will still need passports or birth certificates to travel.”

If you’re looking for something a little closer to home, Loomis recommends Walt Disney World. “It’s a classic vacation spot to take the grandkids,” she said.
