What is the average age for Virgin Voyages cruise?

Who goes on Virgin Voyages cruise ships? Virgin Voyages will appeal to a broad range of travellers. Early reports are that most booked guests are aged 37-62 with an average age of 47.



The average age of a passenger on Virgin Voyages typically falls within the high 30s to early 50s, with a heavy concentration in the 40–45 age bracket. Unlike traditional cruise lines that skew much older (often 60+), Virgin Voyages specifically targets a "young at heart" demographic—often referred to as "Generation X" and older "Millennials." Because the cruise is strictly adults-only (18+), you won't find families with young children, which changes the vibe significantly. The brand’s focus on nightlife, "rockstar" suites, high-quality dining (no buffets), and fitness/wellness programs appeals to travelers who want a sophisticated but high-energy vacation. While you will certainly find retirees on board—especially those who appreciate the modern design and lack of "mickey mouse" energy—the music, decor, and late-night "Scarlet Night" parties are intentionally designed to attract a slightly younger, trendier crowd than you would find on lines like Holland America or Princess.
