Adults are done compromising on vacation. They’re tired of fighting for lounge chairs, dodging strollers at the buffet and coming home more exhausted than when they left. Demand for “quiet luxury” travel has surged 47% since 2022 and market experts project the adult-only travel segment will double in size over the next decade.
Today, Travel Tuesday, Virgin Voyages is answering that demand with something extraordinary: the 2026 Alaska Summer Season Pass, a full month aboard Brilliant Lady sailing through America’s most breathtaking frontier. No kids. No compromise. Just 30 days of glaciers, wildlife, midnight sunsets and the kind of ease, design and wonder that only Virgin Voyages delivers.
Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages, said: “Alaska is one of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. Experiencing it aboard Brilliant Lady means you get the adventure without sacrificing comfort, style or that Virgin sense of discovery – and without a single child on board. This is what vacation is supposed to feel like.”
The cruise company points out that this isn’t a cruise, it’s a residency at sea through one of the planet’s most dramatic landscapes designed entirely for adults who’ve earned the right to experience Alaska on their own terms.
For luxury seekers, it’s premium comfort in an untamed wilderness. For adventure travelers, it’s access to glaciers, whale watching and some of the world’s most dramatic natural wonders. For those craving deeper exploration, it’s a full month to truly connect with one of America’s most vast and incredible regions.

Virgin Voyages has become the go-to brand for adults traveling without children and the numbers prove it. Revenues for 2026 are already up approximately 60% versus the same time last year. Rebooking rates reach as high as 50% on some voyages, as travelers discover what a cruise feels like when every space, every restaurant and every experience is designed for grown-ups.
Stephen Hopkins, Vice President of Growth, pointed out that: “People want vacations that actually restore them. A month in Alaska aboard Brilliant Lady is exactly that – adventure, beauty and adult-only exploration in one of the most spectacular places on the planet.”
