Cruising Reinvented – Adults Only, Always Different
Launched in 2021 under the bold vision of Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Voyages is not your traditional cruise line—and that's the whole point. It’s modern, edgy, and exclusively for adults. Onboard, passengers are called Sailors and travel advisors? We’re known as First Mates.
Virgin Voyages has stripped away many of cruising’s old conventions. No buffets. No drink packages. No upcharges for specialty dining. No formal nights (unless dressing up for dinner is your thing). What you get instead is a relaxed, grown-up vibe that’s both playful and polished. Where else can you get a tattoo at sea or sip whiskey while getting a shave in the barbershop—followed by drag brunch and pop-up karaoke?
This cruise line is for travellers looking for something more curated and culturally in-tune. Think rooftop lounge meets boutique hotel—but on the ocean.
Sustainability Done Right
Virgin Voyages doesn’t just say they care about the planet—they show it. From eliminating single-use plastics to offering reef-safe sunscreen and sustainable seafood, their eco-conscious approach is built into every detail. Even their shore excursions support local communities. Behind the scenes, cutting-edge technology reduces the ships’ environmental impact by converting waste heat into clean energy and purifying wastewater. It's cruising with a conscience—and we love that.
Who Sails Virgin?
Virgin’s diverse, open-minded, and inclusive atmosphere attracts a wide range of adults—from their mid-20s to mid-60s, and often beyond. Whether you're solo, part of a couple, traveling with friends, or celebrating something big, you'll feel welcome and completely at ease onboard.
Cabins for Every Sailor
Cabins range from sleek inside rooms to sea terraces with signature hammocks, all the way up to Rockstar and Mega Rockstar suites. There are even solo oceanview rooms (a rarity in cruising) and social cabins designed for up to four Sailors. Whether you’re budget-conscious or ready to splurge, there’s a space that fits.
All-In Luxury (Without the Fuss)
One of the biggest perks? What’s included in your fare:
- All dining (yes, all of it—from Korean BBQ to The Test Kitchen)
- Gratuities
- Wifi
- Group fitness classes
- Essential drinks (like soda, teas, drip coffee, and still/sparkling water)
Rather than traditional drink packages, Virgin uses a Bar Tab system. You pre-purchase a dollar amount to spend as you wish—on cocktails, wine, or a round for your new cruise friends. Spend $300 and get a $50 bonus. And unlike other lines, not every Sailor in your cabin is required to purchase one.
Dining & Nightlife: Elevated and Unexpected
There are no main dining rooms or buffet lines here. Instead, Virgin Voyages features over 20+ eateries, each with its own unique theme and menu. Whether it’s elevated vegan fare or a steak cooked to perfection, foodies will feel right at home. And after dinner? Expect immersive nightlife, high-energy shows, live music, and unexpected performances at every turn.
Itineraries that Let You Stay & Play
Virgin’s cruises are refreshingly different in how they’re structured. Every itinerary includes at least one overnight in port—giving you more time to explore, eat, and dance under the stars.
- From Miami: Caribbean sailings range from 4 to 7 nights, including their exclusive private Beach Club in Bimini, where the party continues after dark with bonfires and DJ sets.
- From Barcelona: Mediterranean sailings with iconic stops and an overnight in Ibiza.
- Now sailing in Australia and New Zealand, too—so you can take that bucket-list trip, Virgin style.
Detox & Retox
Into fitness? You won’t miss a beat on board. There's an outdoor boxing ring, running track, yoga, meditation classes, a fully equipped gym, and a sauna. It's the perfect balance—break a sweat in the morning, sip champagne by sunset.
