Cruises Perfect for Young Adults & 18+ Adults

Let’s face it, even parents could use a holiday from their little ones sometimes. And young adults who are child-free might prefer a vacation without other people's kids around. 

Virgin Voyages offers cruises where you can actually vibe with people your own age that are designed for young adults who want more from their vacation than kids' pools, buffet lines, roller coasters, screaming kids, and forced family fun. Whether you’re 18, 28, or 38 or older, our adults-only cruises deliver exactly what you’re craving: next-level events & activities, world-class food, epic entertainment, and the freedom to do it all while on vacation (or absolutely nothing and just relax).

🚫 No Kids. No Kidding.

With an 18+ policy across all ships, you won’t be dodging strollers or waiting for the grown-up part of the pool to open. From sunrise yoga to late-night DJs, every inch of the ship is designed for adult energy—and yes, that includes lounging in your red hammock with a drink in hand.

🎉 Nightlife That Goes Beyond the Traditional Cruise Experience

Looking for more than shuffleboard and piano bars? Virgin Voyages brings the nightlife of Vegas, Ibiza, NYC, and Berlin to sea. From immersive shows in The Red Room to wild theme nights like Scarlet Night and pop-up parties that feel like secret clubs, we know how to throw a party that young adults actually want to attend.

🍽️ 20+ Restaurants. All Included.

Skip the cruise specialty dining package upcharges, the buffets, and cruise formal night dinner. That's all thrown overboard, as your cruise fare gets you access to award-winning restaurants, late-night bites, and zero buffet trays in sight. Whether you're into Korean BBQ, vegan brunches, or craft cocktails, it’s all included, no hidden fees—because young adults deserve better than the norm.

🏋️‍♀️ Fitness, Fun & Recovery

Whether you're all about workouts or wind-downs, there’s a space for your vibe. Think group fitness classes, sunrise spin sessions, or afternoon spa soaks. It’s wellness your way, with no “wellness influencer” required.

💋 A Space to Be Yourself

No cruise line leans into self-expression, inclusivity, and good vibes like Virgin Voyages. Whether you're traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, our ships are a judgment-free zone for dancing, connecting, and making memories you won’t want to filter.

That’s why we’ve taken great care to design a place where you, your friends or your significant other can have the best possible experience, sans the unpredictability of kids. This is one of the many reasons we are considered one of the best adults only cruise lines. Because of that you must be at least 18 to sail with us.

Time to Book your 18+ Adults Only Cruise

All our cruises are adults only. So whether you want to unplug and disconnect or network with like minded travelers, it’s all there.

Just show up with your dreams, curiosity, and love of all things stress-free.

So round up your crew—or just bring your fabulous self—and let’s sail. Let us do the rest.

“Just show up with your dreams, curiosity, and love of all things stress-free.”
