Looking for exciting cruise experiences in 2025? Caroline O’Toole, Head of Cruises and Luxury Holidays at JWT Travel, shares three hot travel trends:
Adult only cruises:
Fiona and Kayleigh from JWT Cruises are just back from a Mediterranean adult-only cruise on board the stunning ship Scarlet Lady with Virgin Voyages. Virgin Voyages specialises in adult-only cruises, designed with strictly over 18s in mind from dining experiences to chill out areas and entertainment. This is a travel trend that is definitely growing and it is becoming more popular among groups of friends and couples looking for a romantic cruise but also for families with adult children that are looking to bond over a more sophisticated cruise experience together.
Solo travel:
You might travel alone but never lonely! Particularly onboard a cruise ship. Travelling solo is a really rewarding experience but often times can become expensive due to single supplements; but also might lack activities for single guests. “It is worth checking what offers are available from the different cruise lines as some wave single supplements completely, for instance Uniworld boutique river cruises and Scenic ultraluxury cruises,” explains Caroline. “Norwegian Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages, Celebrity Cruises, MSC and Oceania feature specially designed cabins and stunning staterooms for single travellers across their fleet." Riviera has launched a collection of fantastic river cruises catering only for solo travellers on selected dates.
Family and multi generational experiences:
Multi generational travel is a hot trend that is here to stay, according to Caroline, as different generations of a family look to share special experiences and make memories together.
