Your Kind of Ship Mates

Like-minded home educating families — grandparents and friends welcome too. Group meet-ups, shore days and evening shows if you want them, and never a raised eyebrow if you'd rather do your own thing.

Where we've been

Norway on MSC Virtuosa

Seven home educating families sailed from Southampton to Edinburgh and the Norwegian coast. The verdict from the kids: "this is the best holiday ever".

Why it works

Freedom for them, breathing space for you

A ship is the rare place that gives home educating families both: safe independence for the children, and genuine, uninterrupted conversation for the grown-ups. And because we sail in term time, the ships are quieter too.

◎

No rigid schedules

Group activities, shore days and meals are always optional. Join everything, or wave from the sun deck.

✦

Independence they'll remember

Kids' clubs, pools and safe spaces to roam mean the children arrange their own adventures — and grow visibly in a week.

❖

One specialist, end to end

Holidays by Vivian handles the whole booking, from first enquiry to your front door.
