Discover a New Way to Cruise with Virgin Voyages

Looking for a break from traditional cruising? Say hello to Virgin Voyages, the hip, adults-only cruise line taking the world by storm.

When you step onboard one of Virgin Voyages’ four ships – Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady – you’ll immediately notice a distinct difference from traditional cruise vessels. You won’t find any stuffy dining halls, overcrowded waterparks or strict dress codes on these ships. Instead, expect Michelin star inspired eateries, cutting-edge entertainment and daring onboard spaces never seen before at sea.

Cruising for the young at heart

Virgin Voyages’ ships have been described as a giant playground for adults, and it’s easy to see why. These ships are packed with innovative onboard spaces, like The Social Club, where you can get to know your fellow Sailors over a game of air hockey, foosball or shuffleboard. You can also laze by the pool at the Aquatic Club, shop for vintage records at Voyage Vinyl or play your favourite childhood games at The Arcade. Perhaps the most unique feature of Virgin Voyages is Squid Ink, the very first tattoo studio at sea. However, if you’re thinking of getting inked onboard, you better sign up quickly – appointments are known to book up fast. There’s so much to do onboard, there’s a good chance you won’t have time to do it all.

Eat and drink your way                                                                                                                               

Gone are the days of formal dining rooms and set dinner times at sea. Virgin Voyages have ditched the traditional dining cruise concepts, instead offering over 20 casual eateries and specialty restaurants, all of which are included in your fare. You can grab a Japanese bento box for breakfast, enjoy a fresh Hawaii poke bowl for lunch and savour a perfectly grilled steak for dinner. There’s also a Korean BBQ spot, a 24/7 American diner and the signature Razzle Dazzle Restaurant, which offers a vast selection of vegetarian-friendly options.

Plus, basic drinks, like water, non-pressed juices, coffee and tea, and soft drinks, are included in all Virgin Voyages sailing. Note that this cruise line does not offer the typical drink packages you’d find on a traditional cruise ship. Rather, you can purchase a prepaid bar tab before departure, which is a credit that can be used to buy drinks onboard. The best bit? When you purchase a tab of $300, Virgin Voyages will top you off with an extra $100!

Creative cabins

You won’t get cabin fever when cruising with Virgin Voyages. Expect modern accommodations outfitted in vibrant jewel tones, similar to what you might find in a boutique hotel on land. Inside, you’ll find clever in-cabin features, like beds that transform into couches, complimentary wifi (a rarity onboard many cruise ships) and a smart tablet that controls the lighting, entertainment and temperature. Upgrade to one of the plush Rockstar Suites, to be granted exclusive access to Richard’s Rooftop Deck and have first dibs on shore excursions, dining times and show bookings.

Work up a sweat, or not

It’s easy to keep up with your #FitnessGoals when onboard a Virgin Voyages ship. Serious thought has gone into the cruise line’s health and wellness offerings, with an expansive gym, split into weight and cardio sections. There’s also The Athletic Club, which is a playground-like space complete with a basketball court, adult-sized seesaws and large daybeds for resting.

Work up a sweat with daily group fitness classes, including sunrise yoga, outdoor boxing, bungee workouts and spin exercises. There are also plenty of opportunities to treat yourself on board, with a range of salon spaces offering everything from massages and mani-pedis to blowouts and brow shaping. Virgin Voyages make self-care simple.

Late night encounters

When it comes to entertainment, Virgin Voyages is bringing Las Vegas to the high seas. Enjoy a festival-like line-up of nightly onboard entertainment, including a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, a risqué cabaret show and a Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics extravaganza. But the party doesn’t stop there. There’s also a two-storey ‘70s-themed nightclub, a glitzy casino stocked with slot machines and several private karaoke rooms where you can belt out your favourite tunes. If one thing is for sure, it’s that Virgin Voyages sure know how to party.

When cruising with Virgin Voyages, all food, essential drinks, wifi, tips, group fitness classes, and shows and entertainment are included in your fare. Plus, when you book with My Cruises, you’ll also receive flights, hotel stays and so much more. Get ready to explore the world in ultimate style with our exclusive Virgin Voyages packages.
