Virgin Voyages cancels upcoming adults-only cruises in November

The cruise line said it's 'focused on the well-being of sailors and crew'

Sorry, adults, no cruising for you.

It’s a very uncertain time for the cruise industry. Major cruise lines shuttered operations several months ago in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and most ships are still docked, with operators awaiting guidance from government officials on resuming before the holiday season.

“We remain excited for the future of Virgin Voyages and the epic sea change it will bring to cruising," a spokesperson for Virgin Voyages said in a statement shared with Fox News. "The team have announced Voyage Well plans and remain focused on the well-being of sailors and crew. Right now we are working closely with the industry and the CDC on the right time to start sailing again, and as a result have made the decision to cancel our November sailings.”

Guests affected by the cancelations will be entitled to refunds or credits, per the Virgin Voyages site.
