With its fancy food and festival vibe, Virgin Voyages is reinventing the cruise

IMAGINE a cruise ship where menus inspired by Michelin star chefs replace busy buffets, drinks are crafted by expert mixologists and festival-style line-ups set the scene every evening.

From basking poolside to indulging in the spa, expect high fun on the high seas with an exclusively adult cruise from Virgin Voyages.

Sail the Caribbean or Mediterranean, delighting in cool bars and gourmet restaurants, and dance the night away in glittering nightclubs. And come the morning, find redemption in a hot stone massage.

But that’s not all. Catch late-night comedy shows, sing your heart out in private karaoke booths and, should you fancy an upgrade, bag yourself a superyacht-style suite. 

Set sail in style

Virgin Voyages ships are exclusively adult sanctuaries gliding around Caribbean islands, the pristine waters of the South Pacific and the sun-kissed Mediterranean. Whether it’s the Greek islands you’re after or subtropical rainforests, there’s the perfect voyage for you. 

Snooze away in the comfortable Sea View cabins; up the romance with mood lighting in the slick luxury of your Sea Terrace cabin; or enjoy VIP treatment and a private lounge with an upgrade to RockStar Quarters. 

Find bliss at sea with a hassle-free experience, where everything from the food to the on-deck classes comes included. No tips, no surcharges, no surprises. You’ll even get 50 per cent off the second sailor joining the cruise and up to $600 (over £450) in free drinks.

Fabulous food

Steak and martinis? Korean barbecue? Whatever you’ve got a hankering for, you’ll find it here.

There are delicious vegetarian and vegan options at Razzle Dazzle, and pasta as good as the Italians make it at Extra Virgin.

From Hawaiian poke bowls to pizzas, late-night noodles to delectable bento boxes, let your appetite do the ordering. 

With more than 20 all-inclusive eateries, it’s easy to line your stomach before an evening quaffing bubbly at the Champagne Bar, testing craft beers in the Draught Haus, or colourful cocktails at the Razzle Dazzle Full Bar. Pick up the Bar Tab when you book, and you’ll save even more.

Unforgettable nights

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet meets circus acrobats in Duel Reality, absurdist dance parties offer showbiz flair at the Untitled Danceshow Partything, and The Manor offers late-night dancing.

From professional productions and performances by emerging artists to raucous comedy and pop-up acts, what Virgin Voyages offers its sailors is choice. It’s all about flexibility: have full-on fun or chill out at The Dock, where you can enjoy mezze bites, oversized loungers and the ocean breeze. It’s up to you. Scarlet Night merits a special mention though. It’s a ship-wide celebration with a 3am finish, incorporating flash mob-style performances and an unforgettable pool party. Red, as you might expect, is the theme, so dress appropriately.

Make new friends and harmonise with them during a private karaoke session, admire the mesmerising magicians, or join the crowd for the most riveting game show at sea, Miss Behave.

Infinite relaxation

Find the meaning of chill while resting your pins by the pool or easing them into positions during top-deck sunset yoga sessions.

Explore mud room moods at the Redemption Spa and take inspiration from Jennifer Lopez and her revitalising skincare line at the High Street.

Virgin Voyages is reinventing cruising with the ultimate exclusively adult escape. Now we’re voyaging…
