Virgin Voyages is a cruise brand under the British Virgin Group. Founded in 2014, it officially entered the cruise market in 2020. Focusing on innovative cruise experiences, it targets young travelers and those seeking something different.

The most distinctive feature of Virgin Voyages is its "Adult-by-Design" policy, accepting bookings only for adults aged 18 and over. Facilities and activities are oriented towards adult comfort and relaxation, creating a laid-back and free atmosphere.

Currently, there are 4 ships in service: Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady, primarily sailing Caribbean and European routes. Brilliant Lady, launching in 2025, will feature itineraries covering the Caribbean, the US West Coast, Alaska, Canada, and New England. It is also the only Virgin Voyages ship capable of traversing the Panama Canal.

Virgin Voyages' fares cover most onboard expenses, making it essentially an all-inclusive experience. The fare includes: all restaurants, essential drinks (water, tea, basic coffee, juice, and soda), entertainment, group fitness classes, basic WiFi (browsing, emailing, messaging), gratuities, and taxes.

 

Staterooms

Virgin Voyages' staterooms feature a modern, stylish design with vibrant color schemes. They are equipped with tablets to control lighting, air conditioning, and curtains, utilizing high-tech amenities to make the journey more comfortable. The "Seabed" can be used as a sofa during the day and transforms into a bed at night.

If you desire spacious, open areas, Balcony staterooms (Sea Terraces) feature private balconies with a signature "Red Hammock" for relaxing and enjoying the sunrise, sunset, or ocean views. Suites are "RockStar" themed, treating you like a superstar! In addition to standard amenities, they include 24-hour agent service, an in-room bar, and access to the exclusive Richard's Rooftop.

Distinctive Dining

With over 20 eateries and bars on board, Virgin Voyages abandons the traditional main dining room and buffet design, planning more intimate dining spaces and diverse culinary choices.

Diverse dining options include The Wake (steakhouse), Gunbae (Korean BBQ), Pink Agave (Mexican), Extra Virgin (Italian), and The Test Kitchen (experimental cuisine).

The Galley replaces the traditional buffet. It is a food hall featuring stalls with cuisine from around the world, including American burgers, Asian noodles, sushi, ramen, salads, desserts, and ice cream. All dishes are made-to-order, avoiding the pre-made food common in buffets.

Onboard Bars

Virgin Voyages features whiskey bars, beer bars, champagne lounges, cocktail bars, and mixology spots, offering unique bar experiences! The biggest highlight is the "Shake for Champagne" feature. Simply shake your phone three times while using the cruise app and press the secret button that appears. No matter where you are, staff will deliver champagne to your location. (Remember to wear your cruise band so staff can locate you!)

Traditional drink packages do not exist on Virgin Voyages; they are replaced by a "Bar Tab." You can pre-purchase a certain Bar Tab amount. When buying drinks on board, the cost is deducted directly from your Bar Tab. There is no requirement for all guests in the same cabin to purchase it, nor is it mandatory for the entire voyage.

Entertainment & Activities

Entertainment on Virgin Voyages takes a different path from traditional cruises. Instead of massive theaters, it features smaller venues and intimate performances, creating a new entertainment model. The main venue, The Red Room, hosts immersive theater, musicals, acrobatics, and stand-up comedy. The stage transforms according to the performance type, emphasizing audience interaction.

Besides this, there are various parties and other entertainment. The signature "Scarlet Night" invites you to dress in red and dance to the music. In The Groupie karaoke boxes, you can show off your singing voice; The Social Club offers various board games and arcade machines, allowing you to meet new friends through gaming.

If you want to experience innovative, free, and stress-free cruise travel, or want to try a style completely different from traditional cruises, Virgin Voyages is perfect for you!
