Exclusively for adults
For the enjoyment of our adult passengers, Astoria cruises operate as ‘child free’.

We will however accept teenagers who are 16 years old or above at the time of sailing but they must be accompanied by adult passengers. Families will however be welcome to cruise aboard Astor although it should be noted that there are no dedicated recreation facilities for children.
