Virgin Voyages: Leave Your Expectations on the Shore

Virgin has never settled for the typical in any industry, and this cruise line is no different. Virgin Voyages redefines what to expect from a cruise.

Fitting Virgin's forward-thinking vision, its first ship, the Scarlet Lady will be unlike any other at sea. Not content with just one designer, Virgin hired several firms to design different elements of the ship to achieve an eclectic look that always surprises.

The exterior has sleek, yacht-like lines. Onboard, the design blends a modern sensibility with classic nautical motifs like leather, brass, and portholes. The luxurious rooms will make you feel like a rockstar – especially if you book the Massive Suite with its guitar- and amp-equipped music room.

That same eclectic spirit extends to dining on board. You can sample experimental dishes or take a cooking class at the Test Kitchen, savor Korean BBQ at Genobae, or indulge in the glamour of a classic steakhouse and raw bar at Wake.

If you like a little entertainment with your meal, check out the drag brunch at Razzle Dazzle, the ship's vegetarian restaurant, taking its name from the dazzling geometric decor. In addition to fine food and intriguing scenery, each restaurant has its own bar. All these options (and more) are included in your fare – don't worry about feeling pinned down by fixed dining times and assigned seating.

When all is said and done, you go on a cruise to feel good. That's why Virgin Voyages emphasizes well-being for people and the planet. You can take care of yourself with sunset yoga, a running track, or even a couple rounds with the heavy bag. Then when you need to take it down a notch, you can check out the spa or get cold-pressed juice from the Gym and Tonic bar.

If you want to look as good as you feel, you can get groomed at an old-school barbershop or take part in a time-honored nautical tradition and get tattooed at Squid Ink – an onboard tattoo parlor.

You won't be the only one well taken care of; to take care of the earth, Virgin Voyages will replace single use plastics with reusable and recyclable items.

In 2020, Virgin’s first sailings include unique destinations like Bimini, Bahamas; Costa Maya, Mexico; and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.

From design to dining to destinations, Virgin Voyages rethinks everything to provide a cruise experience unlike anything else at sea. Browse the available trips and start planning your next adventure.
