Advantages of Choosing Adults Only Cruises

Why should you book an adults only cruise? For starters, it will most likely be quieter than cruises that admit guests under 18. Activities and entertainment will be more aimed toward adults, with a greater emphasis on enlightening guests about the areas they will visit on the voyage, ranging from gourmet experiences to lectures and films on the locations, which younger guests may find uninteresting. 

The social aspect is also different on adults only trips; there is a greater emphasis on socializing and meeting other guests on the ship, as many adults only voyages have a smaller passenger capacity than larger cruise lines. As a result, adults only cruises are generally more luxury than ordinary cruises, with larger/fancier accommodations and a focus on service.

Choosing the Right Cruise

So, which adults only cruise is ideal for you? It all depends on your choice. Adults only cruises are often more luxurious than larger, more traditional ones, so you must decide how opulent you want to go. For the best adults only cruises, Holland America is the most economical option; however, buyer beware: they accept visitors under the age of 18 but cater mostly to older clientele. P&O and Virgin are more mid-range, while Viking, Grand Circle, and Silversea will cost a little more, with Regent Seven Seas being the most opulent option.

Deciding where you want to go and for how long will also play a role in your decision; while most cruise companies go all over the world, the exact ports and time of the voyages may influence which one you select. Ready for 2024’s finest adult only cruise? Dream of a lavish, kid-free vacation? Start planning immediately.
