Adults only are my favorite words. Vivkimg and Virgin will be my go-to's when I start cruising. This is a very comprehensive video. Thank you, Vanessa.

Hey Vanessa 👋🏽! You taught me something today: here I am thinking Virgin Voyages is the only adult cruise line. It’s nice to know that there are others out there. Silversea has been on my radar as a price friendlier option to seeing Bora Bora 😉. Thank you for the insights.

Hi! 👋 So nice to hear from you! it surprised me too ☺️ I just did a video in the membership on Bora Bora, and while it's amazing, it's very pricey and a one and done for many of us. But I think you'd really like Silversea ☺️ Keep me posted on what you decide!

A fair assessment in my opinion as a seasoned cruiser and travel advisor. I know you can’t cover them all but Celebrity tends to have fewer kids onboard as it is more adult oriented. Seabourn and Holland America are some others that normally have far less kids onboard as well.

Virgin was going to be our first cruise until we looked more into it. We just aren't into partying like what we've seen from virgin. So we went with Norwegian and it was a nice time with a good mix of things to do and places to relax and be in a peaceful place. Kids didn't bother us and we were even below the main dining room which only got loud at the very end of the night when they were moving chairs and tables. Looking into Princess and MSC for our next cruise!

What a great video! I’ve been wondering about some of these lines. We did a Holland America cruise to Alaska and loved it. Not😢 adults only, but there were maybe five kids on board at most. We did pay extra for specialty dining, excursions and alcoholic beverages, but we found it all to be a great value.

A timely video. My wife and I (mid 60's) are taking our first ever cruise on Virgin's Resilient Lady next month (Barcelona to Athens). Found the base fares to be very reasonable however the excursions seemed a bit pricey to me. We did get a $600.00 bar tab and a $100.00 ship credit included as part of base fare. Looking forward to the adventure!

We were on Resilient Lady this summer (mid 60’s as well) from Athens to Croatia, Montenegro & Corfu, and we absolutely loved it! We also found excursions to be extremely pricey but found all of our ports to be walkable and we didn’t feel we missed out on much by not taking an excursion. Hopefully that will be the same at other European ports for you. Enjoy!

Long comment sorry, never done a cruise and it doesn’t seem my style but if you put out a video I’m gonna watch!! But what is going on with virgin cruises?!? I know cruises are know for their upside down pineapple stuff(and that’s fine do your thing) but this seems like more!! Whoa! I’m definitely intrigued by Viking tho small cruise capacity, older crowd(I’m in my 30s lol) and included culture excursions!? Ok you might have sold me on that one! Thanks again love all your content!

I recommend NCL. They have the studio cabins, which are in a separate area of the ship. No children are allowed in this cabin type as they are meant for solo traveler's. That guarantees quiet hallways on the studio area.

I've booked the 2025 World Cruise on P&O Arcadia. One noteworthy item of interest is that they provide options for solo cruisers. I didn't find any other cruise line doing a WC with a solo option (unless it was just paying double).

I would love it if you added a note about vegan options, or willingness of chefs to accommodate. So many places claim to be flexible when you email in advance, but don't actually accommodate when you are there

I love Virgin. It's not as raunchy as people say. They are just more open to embracing all aspects of life. Do your research before you go. The only people I've seen with issues about their offerings turn out to be on the uptight or even shrewed side of things.

The thing about Viking that I've heard is that the included tour is very basic, often a walking or bus tour. All those special experiences are extra--and can be pricey. Was that not true of your trip? I enjoy cruising content so I'd welcome more :).

Hi! Thanks for letting me know ☺️ In my experience, true of other lines with included excursions but not Viking. But of course YMMV.
@marias9022 ай бұрын
We have taken 4 Viking cruises. And now Oceania (cheaper but similar to Regent 7 Seas). Yes, Viking included tours are kind of basic and give you more of an overview of your port area, but we mix them in with ones we purchase. Those aren’t overly expensive. Viking ships are unique in their Scandinavian design, and the service has remained truly exceptional. They are so friendly, and even officers and managers mix and talk with guests. Oceania is all about food and a LOT of itineraries. They allow children, but you only see a few in the summertime.

I’ve only been on Virgin twice but we got the $600 bar tab and I think they have that promo often. I would say try to book when you can get the promo? It’s definitely more than enough for two people. If that’s what you meant as a con!
