The article reflects on how the portrayal of cruise vacations in the 1970s by The Love Boat set a sophisticated, adult-oriented standard. Today, however, most cruises cater to families with extensive children’s programming. The author highlights that options for adult-only cruises are limited, focusing on cruise lines like Virgin Voyages, which expressly limits guests to those aged 18 and older. The atmosphere onboard Virgin Voyages promotes adult freedom and expression, providing a stark contrast to the family-focused offerings prevalent in the industry.
While The Love Boat presented a romanticized version of cruising, today’s cruise industry has shifted towards accommodating family travel, diluting the adult-oriented experience.
Virgin Voyages stands out in the cruise industry by providing a strictly adult environment where guests are encouraged to express themselves freely, often in cheeky ways.
