School’s out for summer, and to celebrate before the start of a new year, Virgin Voyages is opening its gangways to “kids” to sail for free.

Before embarking on the uncharted journey of moving into a new dorm, searching for a job or turning 21, “kids” ages 18-26 are invited to set sail aboard Virgin Voyages with their parents, guardians and caregivers at no extra cost. For a limited time, Virgin Voyages is inviting (adult) kids on a free holiday on the high seas.

“If you’re old enough to vote, you’re old enough to sail” was the thinking that inspired Virgin Voyages’ (cheeky) definition of “children.” As a brand celebrated for its adults-only atmosphere, the company is changing its tune and answering the call of its Sailors to bring their (adult) children on-board. Whether your (not so) little ones are about to graduate, head off to college or be bumped from their current health insurance, there’s truly no better way for parents to celebrate with their grown-up kids than aboard Virgin Voyages’ award-winning fleet.

Bringing the young-at-heart thematic to life, Virgin Voyages is setting the stage for the ultimate getaway for multi-gen families with happenings, Shore Things and shows designed for kids of all ages. From making beaded bracelets like they did at summer camp to dodgeball games, Salty Trivia or dancing in the pool during Scarlet Night, kiddos can bond with their parents and create unforgettable memories before their next major milestone. Paired with exciting, family friendly Shore Things, like wine tasting in Italy, cooking in the Mediterranean or swimming with sharks in Bimini, Virgin Voyages’ experiences are anything but the average vacation kids club.

Recently awarded the top spot in Travel + Leisure’s 2024 World’s Best Awards for the second consecutive year, Virgin Voyages is offering this generous opportunity for a limited time only. Now through Aug. 23, travelers can book a Central Sea Terrace (or lower cabin category) for two and sail into the sunset with their kid at no extra cost. Often regarded as the ultimate brand for celebrations, Virgin Voyages is the perfect, exclusively adult holiday to close out the year.

Readers can learn more about bringing (adult) kids on-board by visiting www.virginvoyages.com. To book, travelers can call Virgin Voyages’ Sailor Services team. This offer is valid for sailings now through Dec. 15, 2024.
