Adults-only cruise ship launches free holiday for ‘big kids’ this summer

AN adults-only cruise ship has just launched a free holiday for ‘big kids’ this summer.

If you’re 18 to 26 and looking for a summer escape, Virgin Voyages has an offer you won’t want to miss – but there’s a slight catch.

This summer, Virgin Voyages is letting young adults sail for free providing they are cruising with parents or guardians.

The adults-only cruise line is opening its decks to ‘big kids’ as long as they’re accompanied by the folks.

Virgin Voyages is calling it their “Kids Go Free” promotion, giving a cheeky nod to their usual policy of being strictly adults-only.

The cruise line’s new definition of “kids” includes anyone from 18 to 26, as they said: “If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to sail.”

Virgin Voyages is making waves with this fresh take, responding to requests from sailors who want to share their luxurious cruises with their grown-up children.

It’s the perfect way for parents to celebrate milestones with their adult kids.

And that’s not all, on board the fun doesn’t stop with a line-up of activities organised.

Activities range from making beaded bracelets and dodgeball to dancing in the pool at the legendary ‘Scarlet Night’ – a red-themed ship-wide bash.

Plus, there’s a host of family-friendly shoreside adventures: think wine tasting in Italy, Mediterranean cooking classes, or even swimming with sharks in Bimini.

The free cruise offer applies only when there’s a second sailor in the cabin.

Add more guests, and they’ll pay the full rate.

The deal is available for select cabin types, including Central Sea Terrace, Sea Terrace, Limited View Sea Terrace, Sea View, and Insider.

But don’t wait too long – this offer is only good if you book by August 23.

So ‘big-kids’, grab your parents, pack your bags, and get ready to set sail on a summer adventure.

And if the age-range doesn’t quite suit your family, there are plenty of family-friendly cruises.

Going on a cruise with little ones can be tiring if the ships aren’t equipped with kids in mind.

Luckily, we’ve rounded up the best family-friendly cruises that offer onboard babysitting, kids’ clubs, and countless activities.

Meanwhile, cruises might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

So for more holiday inspiration, we also found the Turkish holiday destination fans claim also is the ‘Maldives of the Mediterranean’.

Plus, we’ve also revealed the tiny Italian island only locals know about— it’s as good as Capri but much cheaper.

And if you don’t wanna break the bank this summer, For a discounted holiday, easyJet’s new sale has thousands of beach holidays for less than £300pp.
