19. It all depends on which cruise line you choose

Tue Jul 1, 2025, 08:40 AM

Tuesday

The clientele really varies. Some are for young partygoers (e.g. Carnival).
Others, like Cunard (interestingly owned by Carnival) cater to older, more educated passengers.
Also it depends on the itinerary. The Caribbean is for young partigoers..
Asia and the Mediterranean might have more worldly passengers.
And Viking river cruises don’t even allow passengers under 16.
