Age Tailored Cruises

  • Adults-Only Cruises: some entire ships dedicated to kid-free adults only focused on relaxation, nightlife, or intellectual pursuits.    EX: Virgin Voyages: adult-oriented: tattoo shops, unique ‘fun’ options.
  • Senior or Retirement Cruises: Not explicitly marketed as  such, but designed to appeal to older folks' desire for quiet ambiance, lectures, and bridge tournaments.
  • Minimum Age Requirements: Most cruise lines have a minimum age: 6mo to 1 year or higher for exotic cruises.
  • Legal Age for Certain Activities: Alcohol, bars & casino age limits; varies by departure country or port call.
  • Family-Oriented vs. Adult-Focused: Disney’s kid/family-oriented cruise vs caters heavily to families with children, while Holland America attracts older, more relaxed folks, inherently creating an environment less suitable or appealing to younger passengers.
  • Specialty Cruises: some cruise agendas are age-related by focus: music festivals at sea, educational cruises, wellness
  • Vaccination and Health Restrictions: not directly age-related, but requiring vaccinations for 12 and older indirectly affects age mix.
