Time for just the two of you

Whether you’re hunting for a honeymoon hotspot or a tranquil child-free haven, a cruise could be your answer. Some ships have the capacity to hold over 3,000 guests (which doesn’t sound one bit tranquil), but rest assured each ship is designed in such a way that you will find a patch of personal space to call your own whether it’s in your luxurious room, in the library or in the bar. What’s more almost every ship boasts a relaxing spa where you can escape everything with a revitalising treatment.

Whilst many of the premium cruise lines such as Regent Seven Seas, Crystal Cruises, Silverseas and Celebrity Cruises aren’t explicitly child-free, they don’t have the facilities or kids’ clubs to entertain younger passengers and their strict policies ensure all under 18s are accompanied by an adult. In short, you’ll find very few, if any, children on board these premium ships so they make the ideal adult escape.

However, there is one cruise line that guarantees child-free cruising and that’s P&O Cruises. Three of their eight ships are strictly adult-only. Relaxed, grown up and quietly sophisticated, Adonia, Arcadia and Artemis are stylish ships offering all P&O Cruises’ signature features, including Michelin-starred menus, the Oasis Spa and relaxed bars. Whether it’s their smaller size or their child-free nature, these ships have a wonderful air of romance and indulgent pleasure about them, so go on, embrace it!
