JetBlue is testing something travelers have debated for years: Flights without children

For parents looking to leave the kids behind at home—or adults wishing not to share a flight with a screaming baby—a new partnership is offering an experience many have long craved, however divisive it might be: a completely child-free travel adventure. On October 20, JetBlue Vacations and Virgin Voyages announced “Do Not Disturb,” a four-night kid-free travel experience. “We love creating vacations for all kinds of travelers, including families, but we also know there are moments when adults are looking for a different kind of getaway,” Jamie Perry, president of Paisly, which powers JetBlue Vacations, said in a statement. Perry added, “With Do Not Disturb, we wanted that feeling of truly switching off to start well before you step onto the ship. From the flight to the transfer to the cruise itself, we’ve thought about the entire journey so our customers can simply show up, settle in, and enjoy some uninterrupted time away.” Slated for March 4 to 8, the trip starts with a child-free JetBlue flight from New York’s JFK to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Next, passengers will be provided ground transportation to PortMiami, where they will have priority boarding on the new Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady ship for a child-free cruise to the Bahamas. All return travel is also included. Travelers on the Do Not Disturb package will celebrate the child-free experience with an in-flight toast, a private welcome party on the ship, and a $100 bar tab per cabin. Tickets for the package officially go on sale October 21 for $2,750 for two people, available for booking on the JetBlue Vacations website. Ten travelers will also receive a $50 onboard credit for activities like a mud bath or “Shore Things,” Virgin Voyages’ curated experiences. “People have wanted this kind of kid-free [experience] from takeoff to sail away for a long time,” Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages, said in a statement. “And now it actually exists.”
