Children are one of life’s great joys, but on Virgin Voyages, we believe absence makes the heart grow fonder, especially while on a cruise vacation. That’s why, despite the fact that our adult-only cruise ships are a playground for your inner child, we’ve chosen to curate an adults-only cruise experience.
Why We're the Best Adults-only Cruise Line
Whether you choose to jumpstart the morning with a wheatgrass shot from Gym & Tonic or a Filthy Mary from The Red Bar, you can trust that any path you take will remain unobstructed by little kids feet, as Virgin Voyages is the best cruise line for adults.
20+ eateries on us
We’re proud of our design-forward eateries and bars created specifically for adults, either for mingling with like-minded adventurers or for cozying up and reconnecting with the person you came aboard with. On top of the spaces themselves being kid-free havens, the menu items served within may also be a little advanced for the average tyke. Between hibachi crudo and filets at The Wake, carpaccio and truffle pasta at Extra Virgin, and mezcal pairings at Pink Agave, we keep our food and drink offerings mature and unexpected. And the best part? Dining is included in your voyage fare.
Always-included Luxury
With your cruise ticket, you get always-included luxury, which comes with over $1000 in value on every cruise! Enjoy 20+ premium eateries, free WiFi, award-winning entertainment, group fitness classes, a soda and drink package, and more. There's also fair and flexible booking if you need to update your sail dates or names for your cruise. If that's not enough to convince you, the people have spoken, naming Virgin Voyages the Best Cruise two years in a row!

5. Nightlife and Entertainment

6. Onboard Casino Gaming
- Try your luck in our onboard cruise casino with table games like blackjack, poker, roulette, craps, or pull the lever or push the button on our slot machines.
Shore Excursions Tailored for Adults
The adults-only lifestyle continues whenever we dock, with pages of Shore Things excursions tailored to sophisticated tastes in sight-seeing and cuisine in every port, whether you're a first time cruiser, traveling solo, wanting a romantic couples cruise, or bringing the family along for a family reunion cruise. While we know every child has a spark of genius, we don’t know many who’d be riveted by (or at least not get restless on) a medieval heritage tour through the white-stoned streets of Dubrovnik. From artisan honey-making in Ajaccio to sampling craft brews in Zeebrugge, every Virgin destination from A to Z boasts activities best enjoyed by those 18 and up.
Luxuries and Pleasures, All Designed for Adults
Once you’re back on the ship after a day of exploration, award-winning entertainment options will reinforce the wisdom of leaving the kids at home. We’re more “Romeo and Juliet reimagined in a circus” than themed character dinners if you will; more immersive cabaret than 7 pm movie and jammies. But let’s be clear, being an adult means you vacation however you want, whenever you want. So if being in bed by 7 pm is your idea of the perfect evening, we encourage that.
And with free, reliable Wi-Fi available everywhere on our cruise ships, you’re just a video call away from any little ones you may have left on land, whether for a good night story, or a good night kiss.
All Adult Cruise Experience
There you have it: our case for remaining an adult-only cruise experience, with more value included than most cruise lines. Aboard a Virgin Voyage, you can stretch out Lagoon-side with a drink in one hand and a book in the other (how many pages you’ve read is none of our business) without fear of a rogue cannonball spoiling the relaxation. According to Josh Rivera, Consumer Travel Editor for the USA Today, "It feels like an upscale PlayPlace for adults. In the best way possible. Different from other lines, Virgin’s vibe was engaging, and knowing that passengers were all there without kids, all looking to have a good time, changed the atmosphere."
