Adult Only Cruises

Thomson Cruises offer adult only cruises on abord og Thomson Dream for summer 2011 (June to Septemeber) and on board of Thomson Celebration for summer 2012.

Hebridean Island Cruises do not recommend booking children places on any of their luxury cruises, nor do a luxury cruiseline Silversea, while Voyages of Discovery do not advise bookings for anyone under the age of 11.

Although there are just few adults-only cruise ships, many cruise lines offer exclusive adults-only areas. Princess plans to add quiet, adults-only deck areas to its entire fleet of ships by 2010. At the moment, 'The Sanctuary' facilities are available on Ruby Princess, Star Princess, Crown Princess and Emerald Princess. Carnival Cruise Lines offer an adults-only retreat 'Serenity' area on board of the Sensation, the Imagination and the Inspiration.

For adults preferring the company of other adults we would suggest to avoid cruising during school holiday. Choosing either luxury or spesialist cruiselines rather then mainstream might also be an option as they usually do not offer discounts on child places and seldom have children entertainment facilities on board. Also river cruises are mostly favoured by adult passengers.

Please note that from 30th November 2011 (from cruise X119) Oriana will be exclusively for adults.
