Seven reasons why Virgin Voyages is the ultimate kid-free cruise
Sometimes the pitter-patter of little feet is the last thing you want to hear on holiday. That's why Virgin Voyages is exclusively kid-free and designed for Sailors 18 and older, for a relaxed and elevated experience that lets you cruise on an even keel. On board its stylish, mid-sized ships, you'll find some of the best food at sea, bars aplenty, dazzling entertainment, glamorous destinations and great service, all completely child-free. With more than 200 awards packing out the trophy cabinet – including being awarded the No. 1 cruise line by Condé Nast Traveller and bagging the top spot for the third year in a row in Travel + Leisure's World's Best Awards, for Best Mega-ship Ocean Cruise Line –, here's why Virgin Voyages has been named the world's number-one cruise line. 1 For a boutique ship experience Small enough to feel intimate and just big enough for all the luxury amenities, Virgin Voyages' Lady ships are packed to the rafters with things to do on board. There is no stuffiness here, no forced formality or dress codes. Just great experiences, friendly service and a splash of glamour. It feels like a superyacht with all the excitement of a cruise. 2 For always included luxury On every Virgin Voyages holiday, you're getting more than £750 worth of goodies built right in. That's access to all restaurants – forget about buffets, it's all about menus dreamed up by Michelin-starred chefs. You can also get your sweat on with group fitness classes and stay connected throughout with Wi-Fi. Even gratuities are covered. Oh, and captivating shows and soft drinks, too. Need to tweak your trip dates or change who's going? Virgin Voyages has got you covered. 3 For fabulous food From decadent steaks to succulent seafood, irresistible Italian to Mediterranean mezze, and flavourful, spicy Korean barbecue to pizza with pizazz, each ship has more than 20 eateries to choose from. Virgin Voyages has rejected buffets and big dining halls in favour of intimate and friendly restaurants – superb cuisine, served with no fuss or bother. Vegetarians and vegans are well-catered for, with delectable plant-based options that are more than an afterthought. Feeling pretty relaxed where you are? Onboard food delivery – what Virgin calls ShipEats – will bring fresh, made-to-order treats right to you. 4 For great nights out There's never a dull moment on a Virgin Voyages cruise. With no kids on board, adults are free to embrace their inner child. Spend the afternoon reliving the glory days in an 80s-style arcade, take a dance class for the sheer fun of it, or challenge new friends to a game of foosball. For those craving a more laid-back vibe, there are plenty of tucked-away corners to sip on craft cocktails or cold-pressed juices, or instead, indulge in some supreme relaxation in your private hammock. Whether you're looking for high-energy fun or nostalgic downtime, it's all part of the adventure. 5 For revitalising days Ready for some serious self-care? Virgin Voyages isn't just about dancing under the stars at Scarlet Night, it's about treating yourself like royalty. Head to the spa and sink into a hot stone massage, try a rejuvenating seaweed wrap or a vitamin-rich facial, or simply relax in the sauna. If you're feeling active, why not jump into a boxing or Bungee session, packed with top-notch Technogym gear? There are extensive classes on offer, too, including yoga, barre and a cycling studio where going for a spin doesn't cost a thing. Or just enjoy a breezy run on the suspended jogging track, with dramatic ocean views to help you keep going when you feel the burn. 6 For dreamy destinations Where would you like to go? In the Mediterranean, Virgin Voyages cruises the chicest shores, from Ibiza to Mykonos and the French Riviera, with longer stays and even overnights so you can make the most of every destination. Alternatively, enjoy the Caribbean's lively waters with tropical landscapes and colourful harbours. North American destinations offer a fresh look at famous cities such as New York, LA, Miami and Quebec City, or you can embark on a transatlantic journey connecting continents. At all ports, there are endless shore excursions on offer. Deep-sea fishing, submarine adventures, cool caving, or cultural safaris – whatever's your bag, Virgin Voyages has something for you. 7 For endless variety From energetic fitness classes to indulgent spa treatments, vibrant dance parties to quiet moments on a hammock, Virgin Voyages caters to every whim. Culinary adventures abound with diverse dining options, while destinations range from idyllic Caribbean islands to the cultural hubs of Europe. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure (or perhaps a bit of both?) all Sailors will find their perfect holiday on Virgin Voyages' kid-free cruises. Enjoy a sophisticated and stress-free escape, where every elevated detail is crafted to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Video: Mom Shows ‘Stages Of Going Out Kid-free' Is An ‘Emotional Rollercoaster'
Taking care of kids is not an easy task, especially if you are a new mommy. To prove the point, a mom shows the 'five stages of going out kid-free' in an Instagram video, which shifts between guilt, happiness, and missing her child. Although she delivers a significant message through her reel, the mother creates her outing clip in a fun way. The caption reads, 'It's truly an emotional rollercoaster isn't it.' On Instagram, a mom outing kid-free video has recently gained attention. In it, Hannah, a mother of a newborn, shares the 'five stages of going out kid-free' in a hilarious manner. Celine Dion's 1996 song, 'All by Myself,' adds dramatic effect to the clip as Hannah lip-syncs the track throughout the reel. The video begins with Hannah all glammed up for a party, happily singing the song. It depicts the first stage — 'Freedom.' But, as soon as she gets behind the wheel, the 'mom guilt' hits her, highlighting the second stage in the outing kid-free video. She looks doubtful and concerned, questioning if she should leave her child and husband alone. Her anxious self further thinks, 'Will they be okay?' Or 'Am I the literal worst?' In the next scene of the outing kid-free video, the mom's mood changes when she joins the party, indicating the third stage — 'Enjoying Yourself.' With a smiling face, she enjoys a drink and 'hot' food while having 'uninterrupted convo' and 'gets to sit down.' Feeling relaxed, she drives home thinking, 'Why don't I do this more often?' which is the fourth stage. Finally, stage five says, 'I miss my babies so much.' Hannah rushes inside her home and jumps into a swimming pool to hug her child and husband. Viewers enjoyed the mom outing kid-free video and also found it 'funny.' One user wrote, 'Gets to sit down sounds so incredibly nice,' while another commented, 'So accurate.' An individual also added one more stage, saying, 'STAGE: 6 : Im never leaving you again.' While the Instagram reel received a positive response, it has garnered over 114K likes at the time of writing.
