It does not offer family cruises for groups that include children under 18.
What Is the Onboard Atmosphere Like?
Virgin Voyages focuses on dining, nightlife, wellness, live entertainment and social activities for adults. Its ships do not have children's clubs, kids' pools or family programming for minors.
If you want a child-free cruise, any Virgin Voyages sailing meets that requirement. If someone in your group is under 18, they cannot sail with Virgin Voyages.
