When Virgin Voyages lifts anchor in 2020, the new cruise line will be conspicuously absent of running children, hyper tweens and brooding adolescents, sailing as an adults-only leisure experience. 

During a media event for the laying of the ship's keel at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa, Italy this week, Sir Richard Branson revealed that the first of his three Virgin Voyages ships will be restricted to sailors 18 years and older. 

The decision to create a child-free cruise was driven by the demand for a more elevated, premium experience, developers said, and the cruise package will be sold as a way to escape the responsibilities of parenthood, if only for a few days.
