Quick answer

“Adults only” does not mean the same rule at every operator. Virgin Voyages accepts guests aged 18 and over, and Viking Ocean also applies a minimum guest age of 18. Saga Cruises requires the main guest to be at least 50, while a travelling companion may be 40 or over.

Virgin Voyages is designed as an adults-only product

Virgin Voyages is designed as an adults-only product. Viking describes a destination- and culture-led experience without children’s facilities. Saga states its age qualification directly in its UK booking conditions.

Do not infer an age rule from the brand name alone

Do not infer an age rule from the brand name alone. Check the contract in force when booking, each guest’s age on the sailing date, cabin occupancy rules and port-entry requirements with the operator.
