What makes Virgin Voyages different?

Adult-Only Policy:

Exclusively for guests aged 18 and above. You'll mainly see this during the entertainment, where the vibe is tongue-in-cheek. There's a real focus on entertainment and dining on all ships, with sailors here for fun and relaxation- all adding to the unique vibes of a Virgin Voyages cruise.

Culinary Delights:

Virgin Voyages' ships forgo the traditional cruise buffet, replacing it with a series of wonderful, dynamic eateries. Indulge in lively Korean BBQ, fiery Mexican cuisine, and incredible food market offerings – all included. Curated menus by Michelin-starred chefs elevate the dining experience, with intimate spaces replacing traditional buffets. Onboard food delivery service is also available.

Transparent Pricing:

Your holiday package includes access to premium dining at over 20 eateries, group fitness classes, WIFI, gratuities, and award-winning entertainment. Select offers even include a complimentary Bar Tab, subject to category and season. Load your wallet up with onboard credit before you cruise and you'll get a bonus. You can also get included credit with many Virgin Voyages promotions, just ask us for details.

High-Tech Amenities & Modern Design:

Cruise ship rooms feature state-of-the-art technology for added convenience and coolness. Complimentary WIFI is available throughout the ship, and it's usually stable and reliable. Use the app while onboard to keep track of everything from dinner and performance reservations, to your tab and purchases, and shore excursions.

Avant-garde decor and stylish spaces characterise the ship's interior. Bold colours and contemporary design elements create an inviting and energising atmosphere. 

High-Octane Entertainment:

Enjoy pop-up circus performances, interactive games, karaoke, myth-telling, live music, and the innovative dance party experience by Sam Pinkleton & Ani Taj. Or opt for the PJ Dance Party in your pyjamas. Gaming Areas and Casinos add to the onboard fun. 

Group Fitness Classes

Stay active with yoga, meditation, cycling, HIIT classes, and more – all included in your cruise package. There are fitness classes for every level. Oh and make sure to stop by the juice bar after! 

As cruising becomes more popular with younger generations, Virgin Voyages offers a unique option with all-inclusive packages that provide excellent value. With its adults-only approach, modern aesthetics, commitment to sustainability, and focus on entertainment and dining.
