Adults-Only Cruise Guide
From lifestyle charters to sensual sailings — everything you need to know about finding and booking the right adults-only cruise for 2026 and 2027.
What Is an Adults-Only Cruise?
An adults-only cruise simply requires all guests to be 18 or 21 and older — no children on board. Beyond that baseline, these sailings vary enormously. Some are mainstream ocean cruises on lines like Virgin Voyages that cater to adult sensibilities with craft cocktails and edgy entertainment. Others are full lifestyle charters, like Bliss Cruise, where the entire ship is taken over by like-minded adults for a week of themed events, clothing-optional sun decks, and a uniquely open-minded community atmosphere.
Then there's the middle ground — Desire Cruise and Temptation Cruises — which host sensual, clothes-optional-friendly events on chartered sailings without being fully explicit lifestyle events. These are ideal for couples who want to explore in a welcoming environment without diving all the way into the lifestyle scene.
Bare Getaways specializes in all three tiers. We're authorized agents for Bliss Cruise and partners with Desire, which means you pay the same price as booking direct — while getting dedicated concierge support, cabin selection advice, and insider itinerary tips.
