Adults-Only Cruise Ships

Want to get in on the grownup action? Of course, you do! But what’s available when it comes to adults-only ships?

P&O Cruises has two exclusively for Adults ships in its fleet: Arcadia and Aurora. Like sophistication and tranquillity with your journey? Both ships can help with that, creating luxury experiences at a chilled-out pace that’ll suit parents looking for a blissful break.

No need to be so selective with Virgin Voyages: every single one of their cruises is adults only! And since the line’s big on party vibes, that’ll be welcome news to anyone in the mood for a boogie, day or night! Evenings on the ship can get pretty risqué, too, just another reason they keep their fleet strictly 18+.

There are other lines that are more geared toward adults, such as Azamara, Silversea Cruises, and Seabourn. While these lines aren’t exclusively for grown-ups, kids are few and far between on these upscale lines; in fact, Azamara features none of the kids’ clubs or youth staff you’d expect from other cruise lines.

Adults Only Cruises FAQs

  • What makes a cruise adults-only?

    An adults-only cruise is exactly what it says on the tin: no kids, no splash zones, no “Baby Shark.” These sailings are exclusively for guests aged 18 and over, meaning the entertainment, dining, and atmosphere are all geared toward grown-up tastes. Think live jazz instead of karaoke competitions, spa treatments instead of soft-play areas, and cocktails that actually come in glasses, not plastic cups.

  • Which cruise lines offer adults-only cruises?

    Several major cruise lines have gone all-in on the adults-only experience. Virgin Voyages runs 18+ ships only, modern, bold, and Instagram-ready. P&O Cruises has two dedicated adult ships, Arcadia and Aurora, with an elegant, relaxed vibe. Marella Explorer 2 also sails child-free itineraries, perfect for couples and friends who want poolside peace with a rum punch in hand. Each one offers a different flavour of sophistication, but they all share one goal, absolute serenity at sea.

  • Are adults-only cruises more expensive?

    Surprisingly, not always. You’re paying for ambience and experience, not exclusivity. Early booking and Cruise Nation’s Smart Packages often bring prices down to the same level as family cruises, sometimes even lower. With flights and hotels included, the overall value usually works out better than building it yourself. Luxury doesn’t have to come with an eyebrow-raising price tag.

  • What type of entertainment is on adults-only cruises?

    Swap the magic shows for mixology classes and poolside DJs. Expect comedy nights, cabaret lounges, and fine-dining tasting menus. Some ships host late-night parties under the stars, while others lean into calm, think open-air cinemas or live acoustic sessions. It’s your kind of fun, on your kind of timetable.

  • Are flights and hotels included in the price?

    Most of our adults-only Smart Packages include return flights and a pre- or post-cruise hotel stay, so your grown-up getaway starts the moment you leave home. It’s a complete package, designed to make life easy (and the journey smoother). Check each offer for full details. We keep everything transparent.

  • Are these cruises ABTA and ATOL protected?

    Always. Every Cruise Nation booking, whether adults-only, family-friendly, or luxury, comes fully ABTA and ATOL protected. That’s your money and your holiday safe, backed by a name that’s been doing this properly since 2009.

  • Can I book adults-only cruises for 2026 and beyond?

    Yes, and it’s smart to do so. Cruise lines like Virgin Voyages and P&O already have 2026 itineraries available, often with lower deposits and better cabin choices. Secure your spot now, then sit back and plan your wardrobe.

  • What’s the best destination for adults-only cruises?

    Depends on what kind of grown-up you are. The Mediterranean is perfect for wine lovers and culture seekers; the Caribbean brings beaches, bars, and bliss; No-Fly cruises from the UK make things easy if you’d rather skip airports altogether. Wherever you sail, you’ll find space to unwind and a crowd that gets it.
