Let’s address the question floating around the dock. Adults only? So…no kids?
Correct. No toddlers. No splash zones. No cannonballs in the hot tub.
But before you assume this is some grand statement against family travel, let’s clear something up. This isn’t about exclusion. It’s about intention.
We love families. We just built something different — something designed entirely, unapologetically for grown-ups. (And actually, it still is a family vacation if your kids are above 18.)
So… is it a party boat?
Short answer? It can be.
Longer answer? You can have whatever kind of nights you want them to be.
Yes, The Manor brings late-night energy. Yes, there are DJs. Yes, you can dance until your step count becomes heroic. But there’s also sunrise yoga on deck, restorative afternoons at Redemption Spa, and quiet corners made for lingering conversations.
Adults-only doesn’t mean nonstop chaos. It means no curfew.
You set the vibe. We supply the soundtrack.
Is it quiet and boring?
Only if that’s your dream.
Without kids’ clubs and water slides, the energy shifts. It becomes more fluid. More intentional. You won’t hear whistles from lifeguards or announcements about lost flip-flops. What you will hear is conversation. Laughter. Music drifting across the deck.
You can spend the afternoon at the pool with a cocktail and a book. Rally your Sailor squad for trivia. Or hit our state-of-the-art gym (we call it the B-Complex) for a strength session that makes you feel like a medal contender.
It’s not toned down. It’s tuned in.
Will I feel out of place?
Not unless you think “grown-up” comes with a rulebook.
Our Sailors are solo travelers, friend groups, couples, birthday squads, newlyweds, and people who simply wanted something different. Some are seasoned cruisers. Some are booking their very first voyage after browsing TripAdvisor for inspiration.
There’s no one way to do this. That’s the point.
Adults-only removes one dynamic so you can fully show up as yourself. Loud. Chill. Social. Introverted. Celebratory. Restorative.
There’s space for all of it.
Is it only for couples?
Absolutely not.
Yes, it’s perfect for date nights that stretch for hours. But it’s also built for best-friend reunions, sibling trips, solo resets, and multi-generational escapes with a twist. Because here’s the thing: if your kids are grown, this absolutely is a family vacation.
Adult siblings. Parents and their 20- or 30-something kids. Milestone birthdays. Graduation celebrations. It’s still family — just with better cocktails and no bedtime negotiations.
With over 20 eateries included, no buffets, and no assigned dining times, dinner becomes an event. Linger over handmade pasta at Extra Virgin. Get competitive with a pre-dinner drinking game at Gunbae. Dress up for The Wake just because you feel like it.
Adults-only doesn’t mean romantic-only; it means the entire experience revolves around adult taste, curiosity, and freedom.
But what if I have younger kids?
You can love your kids deeply and still crave five days where no one asks you for snacks.
You can adore family vacations and also want one trip that’s just yours. One where dinner lasts a full two hours. Where mornings start slowly. Where your biggest responsibility is deciding between a shore excursion or another sea day ritual.
Many parents sail with us not to replace family travel, but to complement it. Think of it as the reset button.
And when you’re ready for a different kind of escape, our destinations across the Med, Europe, the Caribbean, the Northeast, the West Coast, and Alaska are waiting.
Why adults-only changes everything
Designing a ship for 18+ unlocks things.
It means:
- Restaurants built for lingering, not rushing
- Wellness spaces that feel genuinely serene
- Entertainment that doesn’t have to play it safe
- Late nights that don’t shut down early
It shapes the soundscape. The schedule. The flow of the day.
There’s an ease to it. A subtle shift. A feeling that the entire environment was curated with you in mind.
That’s what pro-grown-up really means.
This vacation was built for you
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. Plenty of cruise lines cater beautifully to families. We chose a different lane.
One where the dining is elevated. The spa feels sacred. The dance floor stays open. The mornings are quiet. The energy feels intentional.
Adults-only isn’t a rejection. It’s a design decision.
It’s not anti-family.
It’s pro-grown-up.
