Adult Cruises

Although not every ship is child free, many cruise lines offer a more adult experience to those who want it. The following are some of the more popular examples of an adult cruise experience.

P&O Cruises

P&O Cruises is one of the few cruise lines to offer adult cruises where the minimum age is 18 years.

Two child free ships in its fleet; the Arcadia cruise ship offers a contemporary cruise experience, her modern flair and signature features set her apart. Choice is her watchword and everywhere you go you will find evidence of her unique style and innovation.

For a more intimate holiday choose the Artemis cruise ship, the smallest member of the P&O Cruises fleet. Artemis is friendly, intimate and child-free. You will find every facility you would expect on board a P&O Cruises ship from a spa to a library and even a cyb@study.

And with outside and balcony cabins only (the first ship ever to be built in this way), you need never be far from an ocean view.

Holland America Line

For couples of all ages Holland America Line offers relaxing holidays. There is time to spend together - or do what you like doing most on holiday.

Whether that's lounging around poolside, maybe a workout in the sea view fitness centre, joining a cooking demonstration on your ship, then meet up for cocktails at one of the many bars.

Celebrate a special occasion with a table for 2 at the romantic reservations only 'Pinnacle Grill'; enjoy a couple's massage at the sumptuous Greenhouse Spa, snuggle up over an expresso in the Explorers Lounge and listen to jazz, piano or a string quartet - or head for the more contempory sounds of the nightclub!

Cunard Line

Harking back to the golden age of ocean travel, Cunard effortlessly combines old-world opulence with modern convenience, providing impeccable service, superb entertainment and gourmet cuisine.

Amenities include the world-renowned Canyon Ranch Spa Club, 4 outdoor pools, 14 bars, 10 restaurants, the Empire casino and Mayfair range of shops. Dressing up for the evening is all part of the experience, so pack your tuxedo and evening gown!

There are 4 levels of accommodation, ranging from Standard Inside Staterooms with king-size or twin beds to Deluxe Balcony Staterooms.
