Viking Cruises to Ban Kids in 2019

Saying that their cients want kid-free vacations, Viking Cruises says that its ships beginning in 2019 will not permit passengers under the age of 18. 

According to their updated policies page:

Due to the nature of our cruise and travel itineraries, the Carrier does not maintain facilities or services on our Ships for individuals under the age of 18 years. For all cruise/ cruise tours booked after August 1, 2018 (regardless of departure year), you must be 18 years old on or before the day you are scheduled to embark on the cruise tour. Cruises through the 2019 may still have passengers under 18 as the cruises were booked prior to August 1, 2018.
