An adults-only experience. Here, the entrance to The Manor on Scarlet Lady
Virgin Voyages' new campaign shows kids calling out the line for its exclusively adult cruising experience.

Supposedly founder Richard Branson's grandkids have petitioned him for 'a chance to board his ships and experience the incredible food, entertainment and fun he talked so fondly of.'

Sorry, kiddos

But Virgin Voyages said sorry, kiddos — it remains an experience designed for travelers ages 18 and up.

Check out the new spot, a 1980s-style power ballad inspired by Sir Richard's grandchildren.
