THIS CRUISELINE IS GOING ADULTS ONLY!

Sorry, kids. Viking River Cruises are for adults only from now on. The cruise line has updated its travel policy, raising the minimum age of travelers from 12 to 18 as of August 1, Travel Weekly reported. Any customers who have booked before then (regardless of when they depart) but still have family members under 18 will still be able to travel on Viking through the end of 2019.

Otherwise, passengers must be 18 before their date of departure.

“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,” the new policy states.

Delta Air Lines announced Monday the addition of nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Schiphol airports.

With the introduction of the new routes, Delta has now linked all of its hubs in the United States to the airline’s two largest hubs in Europe.

The year-round Los Angeles-to-Paris service will operate three times weekly, and the Amsterdam flights will take place four times a week.

Delta passengers flying to Paris and Amsterdam will also have access to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia through the carrier’s partner airline network offered by Air France, KLM, Alitalia and Jet Airways.

“The start of our new Los Angeles nonstop services to both Paris and Amsterdam offers our customers even more nonstop choice on Delta to its key European hubs,” Delta senior vice president Dwight James said in a statement.

The new service reaffirms Delta’s commitment to Los Angeles, where the airline is investing $1.86 billion to modernize, upgrade and connect Terminals 2, 3 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The carrier operates more than 170 flights from LAX each day.

The addition of the routes from Europe to LA is in response to increased demand for travel to the West Coast, with visitor numbers from France and the Netherlands to California up 15 percent last year.

Delta also added flights to Amsterdam from Orlando in March and to Paris from Indianapolis in May.
