Major cruise lines implement restrictions for young adult travelers
Briefly

Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines are implementing new policies starting February 2025 that raise the minimum age for unaccompanied travelers to 21 years old. Guests aged 18 to 21 must either have a guardian at least 25 years old or risk cancellation. Exemptions are available for legally married individuals and active-duty military members. Travel advisor Christy Lyczkowski advises younger travelers to contact the cruise line or a travel agent to avoid issues such as being turned away at the port or losing money on canceled trips.
Starting February 2025, Royal Caribbean and Carnival will require guests under 21 to sail with an adult, significantly impacting the travel plans of younger cruise-goers.
Travel advisor Christy Lyczkowski emphasizes that those aged 18-21 need to check policies closely, as failure to meet age requirements can result in denied boarding and no refunds.
