Destinations

Whatever you want from your holiday, Virgin Voyages’ destinations mean there’s always an adventure to excite the wanderlust inside you. Cities and sunsets, quiet mornings and wild nights, these splendid stop-offs take in a whole lot of excitement. Plus, with a late stay and an overnight on each itinerary, getting every last drop of joy out of your new home is easy.

You can’t go wrong cruising the Greek islands. Where you might be hustling and bustling on one island, you could be exploring its quiet side the next. A country for all cruisers, try out your party side on Mykonos or allow Athens’ vibrant hues and storied culture to colour your trip. And keep an eye out for Argostoli, an island that could well have the most perfect beaches in all of Greece.

Need more of the Mediterranean in your life? Virgin can see to that too, taking you on a trip around the region’s most romantic, postcard-ready locations. Think Barcelona’s storied history and urban beaches. Lisbon’s hill-filled expanse and enticing wine tastings. Monte Carlo’s unbeatable movie star glamour. The Mediterranean is as diverse as it gets – now’s your chance to see every side of it.

On the other side of the pond, experience Virgin Voyages Miami-style. Here, you’ll get to see the stuff Disneyland doesn’t show you: art deco hotels, a thriving art scene, and trendy rooftop bars playing host to dance-filled nights that really sizzle.

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD

When your cruise line teams up with a Michelin-starred collective of chefs for its food, you know you’re set to be served some real-deal dishes. Consider the below your very own tasting menu to scroll through – and btw, it’s all included.

Variety is the spice of life across the 20+ Virgin Voyages’ restaurants, so there really is something for everyone here. At The Wake, Virgin Voyages bring you the best in surf ‘n turf, a steakhouse that’s all 60s vibes and liquid lunches – except with unreal steaks accompanying the cocktails.

Speaking of drinks, Pink Agave takes guests on a Mexican fiesta, combining the country’s best cuisine with curated selections of Mezcal, a smoky spirit that’s guaranteed to keep spice levels high. Throw in some fascinating history with each dish, and this educational eatery is truly a place to savour.

Want to take it al fresco? On The Dock, Virgin Voyages makes outdoor eating a breeze, thanks to a range of easy-going mezze bites you can truly take your time with. Where’s the rush? That sun isn’t going anywhere.

Take me to bed

Whether you’re letting the world pass you by or getting ready for that big night, Virgin Voyages’ cabins and suites are decked out with everything you need – whatever budget you’re working with. Made for dreamers and snoozers, here’s what’s waiting to welcome you…

Virgin Voyages Sea View

Sea View

Want to sea a little more from your cabin? Virgin’s Sea View opens you up to incredible views, giving guests a front-row show to the finest sunrises and sunsets their side of the equator. Complete with a roomy rain shower for extra freshness before and after your adventures.

Virgin Voyages Sea Terrace

Sea Terrace

Expand that horizon even further with a terrace that lets you take it all in. With plenty of space for four to put their feet up, relaxation’s the name of the game here. Most of Virgin Voyages’ Sea Terrace cabins even have a terrace for you to laze on when your schedule’s on the light side.

Virgin Voyages Brilliant Suite

Brilliant Suite

Always wanted to live like a rockstar? The Brilliant Suite is your backstage pass into the high life, a world of fully stocked bars, king-sized beds, and marbled showers for you to unwind in after a hard day’s night.

Virgin Voyages Cheeky Corner

Cheeky Corner Suite

An all-angle area that sets the stage for some unrivalled views, the Cheeky Corner Suite is all about letting you see as much of the sea as possible. That means you’ll have a terrace to unwind on, a hammock to kick back in, and a huge bed to stretch out across each and every night. A power trio that’s truly off the charts!

Virgin Voyages Seriously Suite

Seriously Suite

Built for those about to rock, the Seriously Suite gets the good times going. Getting the room rocking is easy here, thanks to a fully stocked full-sized bar along with a record player packed with riff after riff of your favourite songs. Devil horns at the ready, it’s about to get loud!

Virgin Voyages Sweet Aft Suite

Sweet Aft Suite

Based at the back of the ship (that’s where the action happens), unreal views are never in short supply in the Sweet Aft Suite. Terrace, bed or shower, everywhere you look there’ll be a vista to admire that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Virgin Voyages Massive Suite

Massive Suites

Headlining Virgin’s lineup of suites, the Massive Suite is truly number 1. Over 2,000 sq. ft., it’s packed with everything you need to make waves – and noise (seriously, you’ll have your own personal music room while you’re here). Prefer to keep things quiet? No worries, get yourself out on its private terrace and listen to the waves in total, zen-like peace instead.

Virgin Voyages Fab Suite

Fab Suite

Get your glam on inside the Fab Suite, a 960 sq. ft. escape packed with marbled finishes, incredible views and a bar that’s stacked with all your favourites. Pour yourself a drink, step onto the terrace, and be sure to hang loose in the hammock while you’re there.

Virgin Voyages Posh Suite

Posh Suite

You might be sailing the Med or across the Caribbean while you’re inside, but the glamourous décor of the Posh Suite is all Hollywood. Mood lighting, a vanity area, floor-to-ceiling marble in the bathroom. The only thing that’s missing is a red carpet to roll out.

Virgin Voyages Gorgeous Suite

Gorgeous Suite

Out on the terrace or from the comfort of your king bed, the Gorgeous Suite is all good views and great vibes. Stick the in-room record player on and kick back to your favourites, or watch the waves drift away in the on-terrace swing chair – this is no one else’s time but your own.

License To Thrill

A Red themed party aboard a Virgin Ship

You won’t find Broadway productions here, but you’ll still bear witness to a festival-load of fun on board your ship. Created by a who’s who of directors, choreographers and artists, the line’s selection of cruise firsts give guests an exclusive, exciting glimpse into the future of at-sea entertainment.

Playing up to the musical side of Virgin Voyages, The Manor is your main venue, a ground-breaking go-to that hosts everything from the Miss Behave Game Show (we won’t spoil the surprise) to festival-style performances from comedians, magicians, and musicians.

The Red Room, meanwhile, puts on a show and a half, lining up an array of all-new productions like Never Sleep Alone, a seriously adults-only tale that’s part interactive sex advice column, part late-night cabaret. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Getting jealous of all those performers hogging the spotlight? It’s your time to shine at The Groupie, a private karaoke spot that’ll have all eyes on you. Time to warm that voice up. Even if you aren’t a born performer there’s something to stay busy with. Voyage Vinyl serves up the best slabs of wax money can buy, while The Social Club and The Arcade let you indulge your inner child with all sorts of old-school board and video games.

FEEL FABULOUS

Everyone’s idea of relaxation is different, so whether you are a do-nothing person, or do something person, your Virgin Voyage will always offer something to float your boat. From yoga at sunrise to boxing in the openair, meditation to HIIT workouts, and even specifically curated hikes to work up your sweat in the ports of call, the Virgin Voyage approach to working out is the workout that works for you.

A Couple at a Spa on a Virgin Voyages ship

Get that OMMM feeling everyday while you relax as the sound of the ocean soothes your daily stresses away, or take it up a gear or two with a visit to the Redemption spa, from a Balinese hot stone massage to a seaweed body wrap, this is your time to chill or get dirty in the mudroom and let the sauna cleanse you pore deep, you will feel fabulous for it!

Virgin Voyages FAQs

Our experts have answered the most common questions we’re asked about Virgin Voyages.

  • What's Included?

    Your Virgin Voyages fare covers your stateroom, all main dining venues, entertainment, Essential (non-alcoholic) drinks and basic Wi-Fi as standard. Gratuities and alcoholic drinks are charged separately, so it’s worth budgeting for these before you sail. See our Gratuities Comparison Guide for what else to plan for.

  • What is the tipping/gratuities policy?

    Gratuities aren’t included in Virgin Voyages’ standard fare. They’re charged at $20pp/day if pre-paid before your cruise, or $22pp/day if you settle them onboard, so pre-paying works out cheaper. See our Gratuities Comparison Guide for how this compares with other cruise lines.

  • Are drinks included/what are the cost of drinks packages?

    Virgin Voyages doesn’t offer a traditional drinks package. Essential (non-alcoholic) drinks are included in your Base Fare, while alcohol is covered by a pre-purchased Bar Tab, ranging from $200 to $1,000 with bonus credit worth up to $1,250. Buying a Bar Tab in advance is generally the better-value way to cover onboard drinks. Read our Cruise Line Drinks Packages Guide to see how this compares with traditional packages.

  • What is the dress code?

    Virgin Voyages has no dress code, by design. There are no formal nights anywhere in the itinerary, so you won’t need to pack a suit, tux or evening gown. Smart-casual is about as dressed-up as it gets, even in the main dining venues. See our Dress Code Guide for general cruise dress code norms.

  • What plugs/voltage is required?

    All staterooms onboard Virgin Voyages ships are fitted with North American standard 110V sockets and European standard 220V sockets.

  • Are there laundry facilities onboard?

    There are no self-service facilities onboard Virgin Voyages cruises, but you can take advantage of the valet laundry service for a small fee. You’ll find a slip in your stateroom with instructions on how to get your clothing washed, dry cleaned and pressed during your holiday.

  • Can I use my mobile from the ship?

    Yes! Thanks to the satellite link at sea, you can make and receive calls and texts while you’re sailing away. Just make sure your international roaming is switched on and you’ve alerted your network provider that you’ll be travelling.

  • How much does Wi-Fi cost on Virgin Voyages?

    Basic Wi-Fi is included in the Base Fare on every Virgin Voyages sailing, so there’s nothing extra to pay for standard browsing and messaging — a genuine differentiator versus most cruise lines, where Wi-Fi is a paid add-on. Faster, premium connectivity may still be available to purchase if you need it for streaming or video calls. See our Onboard Internet Guide for how this compares across cruise lines.

  • What are the onboard payment options?

    Onboard credit can be used for all onboard purchases. The credit, also known as ‘Sailor loot’, can be topped up using all major debit and credit cards or cash. It’s worth noting that payments will be taken in USD, so guests may incur foreign transaction fees.

  • Can you smoke on Virgin Voyages?

    There are plenty of smoking areas provided around Virgin Voyages' ships. However, guests found smoking or vaping in their room, on their balcony, or in any other non-designated area onboard will have $500 added to their onboard account and may be forced to leave the ship entirely.

  • How many ships does Virgin Voyages have?

    Virgin Voyages currently operates four ships: Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady, the newest addition to the fleet. All four are adults-only (18+) and offer a broadly similar onboard experience.

  • What are Essential Drinks on Virgin Voyages?

    Essential Drinks are the non-alcoholic drinks included as standard in every Virgin Voyages Base Fare, think soft drinks, juices, coffee and tea. Alcohol isn’t included and is instead covered by a pre-purchased Bar Tab. See our Cruise Line Drinks Packages Guide for more on how this compares with traditional packages.

  • Are all Virgin Voyages ships the same?

    Generally, Virgin Voyages' ships don't differ too much, other than their names and where they travel to. Onboard, you're likely to find the same amenities, entertainment options and ship size whichever on you sail on.

  • Do Virgin Voyages ships have casinos onboard?

    Yep! All of Virgin Voyages' ships have casinos onboard.

  • When did Virgin Voyages launch?

    The line was founded December 4, 2014.

  • Where do Virgin Voyages depart from?

    Virgin Voyages depart from ports across the globe, including the likes of Portsmouth, Miami, Lisbon, Dubai and San Juan.

  • Are kids allowed on Virgin Voyages?

    No. Virgin Voyages is an adults-only cruise line, and guests must be 18 or over to sail, with no exceptions made for children or infants. This applies fleet-wide across all four ships. See our Adults-Only Cruise Guide for more on what to expect from adult-only sailings

  • Can I bring my own alcohol onboard Virgin Voyages

    Virgin Voyages hasn’t published a specific policy on bringing your own alcohol onboard, and this can vary by sailing. We’d recommend checking directly with Virgin Voyages at the time of booking to confirm the current rules before you pack. See our Bringing Alcohol on Board Guide for general guidance on cruise line alcohol policies.

  • What is Virgin Voyages’ Bar Tab and how much does it cost

    The Bar Tab is how Virgin Voyages guests pre-pay for alcoholic drinks onboard, since there’s no traditional drinks package. Tabs range from $200 to $1,000, and buying one in advance comes with bonus credit worth up to $1,250 added to your account. Read our Cruise Line Drinks Packages Guide for more on how this compares with other lines’ packages.

  • Are there really no formal nights on Virgin Voyages?

    Correct, Virgin Voyages doesn’t schedule any formal or dress-up nights across its four ships, and the dress code is relaxed throughout the cruise. This is one of the clearest differences between Virgin Voyages and more traditional cruise lines. See our Dress Code Guide for what to expect on other cruise lines.
