Why book Virgin Voyages

Why a Virgin Voyages voyage?

Six reasons we recommend this line to the right kind of traveller.

Kid-free, period

Every sailing is exclusively 18+. No pre-bed meltdowns, no stray cannonballs in the pool, no waterslides above the steakhouse. Pure adult time — perfect for couples, friends, and solo travellers.

Boutique-sized ships, big-ship choice

Not too small (you still get 20+ restaurants and full-spec entertainment), not too big (you'll never wait in a queue for a lift). Roughly 2,700 sailors per ship — small enough to feel cared for.

The best food at sea — included

No buffets. 20+ eateries with menus by Michelin-starred chefs — Korean BBQ, contemporary Italian, a steakhouse with sea views, Mexico City fare. Voted the best food at sea, and every restaurant is included in your fare.

Real value, no nickel-and-diming

WiFi, all dining, soda & water, group fitness classes, and entertainment are always included. That's £1,000+ of value baked in — no surprise charges added on at the end.

Awards, three years running

Travel + Leisure World's Best three years in a row. Cruise Critic Cruisers' Choice. Condé Nast Traveler Reader's Choice two years running. 200+ awards and counting since launch in 2021.

Bimini Beach Club — exclusive

Most Caribbean voyages call at Virgin's own private beach club in Bimini. Day beds, food and drink included, no entry fees, no hidden costs. The vibe of Ibiza without the Ibiza price tag.

The honest version

Might not be for you if…

No cruise line is for everyone. Here's where Virgin Voyages might not fit. We'll point you elsewhere if so.

You're travelling with kids

Strict 18+ policy means no exceptions, even for teens. If you're planning a family holiday, look at Royal Caribbean, Disney, MSC, or P&O instead.

You like formal nights and dressing up

Virgin Voyages is deliberately casual — no jacket-and-tie nights, no captain's gala. If you love classic cruise formality, Cunard or Regent Seven Seas is a better fit.

You want all-inclusive drinks

Soda, tea, drip coffee and water are included — but premium cocktails and wine are paid extras. If you want truly all-inclusive bar, look at Regent, Silversea, or Explora Journeys.

You prefer ultra-large mega-ships

Lady ships carry around 2,700 sailors. If you want 6,000-passenger floating cities with rollercoasters and water parks, Royal Caribbean's Icon class is more your speed.

Dining

No buffets. Twenty-plus reasons.

Every dining venue on board is included — no upcharges, no hidden costs. Menus are designed by Michelin-starred chefs and served made-to-order, not from a tray.

Razzle Dazzle
Modern American, with a vegetarian/vegan twist. Stripey, photogenic, fun.
The Wake
Steakhouse with sea views and a raw bar. The grown-up dinner of the trip.
Pink Agave
Mexico City fare with flair. Make a reservation for the 9pm sitting.
Gunbae
First-to-sea Korean BBQ. Cook your own protein, soju on tap.
Extra Virgin
Italian comfort. Hand-rolled pasta, focaccia, fresh-tomato everything.
Test Kitchen
Tasting-menu format. Adventurous, ingredient-led, surprisingly affordable (still included).
The Galley
Open virtually all day. Food halls vibe — pasta bar, wood-fired pizza, ramen, tacos, baked treats.
Sip Lounge
Champagne bar with caviar service. The bar of choice before dinner.
On board

What you actually do all day

Entertainment that doesn't feel like a cruise

No nightly Broadway-style musicals. Instead: original adult-tilting shows in The Red Room, live music every night, late-night DJs at The Manor nightclub, secret pop-up parties, bookable karaoke rooms.

Wellness, not just a gym

Free group classes (HIIT, yoga, spin, barre, meditation), an outdoor running track with ocean views, and Redemption Spa with its impressive Thermal Suite (day passes available).

Beach Club at Bimini

Virgin's own private island beach club in the Bahamas. Caribbean voyages call here for full days. Food and most drinks included. No entry fees, day beds available.

Scarlet Night

Once-per-voyage signature party. Wear red, follow the cast across the ship, end up at a poolside finale. The night people talk about for months.

FAQ

Quick answers about Virgin Voyages

Can I bring kids of any age?
No — Virgin Voyages is exclusively 18+. The age policy is strict and there are no exceptions. If you're looking for a family cruise, we'd steer you to Royal Caribbean, MSC, P&O, Disney, or Princess.
Are drinks included?
Soft drinks, sparkling water, drip coffee, sachet tea and non-pressed juices are included on every fare. Premium cocktails, wine, beer and spirits are paid — but you can pre-purchase a "Bar Tab" with bonus credit (£75 → £85, £150 → £170, £225 → £265).
Is gratuity included?
From October 2025, service gratuities show as a separate line item on new bookings. There are no surprise tip charges added during your voyage; nothing on board ever requires an additional tip.
How does the WiFi work?
Basic WiFi is on every fare (browsing, social, messaging on one device). Premium fares include WiFi video calls and streaming on two devices. There are no per-day or per-MB charges.
Do I need a passport?
Yes — passport with at least 6 months validity beyond your voyage end date. Some itineraries (e.g. closed-loop Caribbean from Miami for US citizens) accept alternatives, but a passport is always the safest option. Voyages calling at French Caribbean islands (Martinique, Guadeloupe) are passport-book only.
What about dining reservations?
Reservations open in the Virgin Voyages app pre-voyage (timing depends on your fare type and cabin tier — Sea Terrace and below: 15–60 days; suites: 120 days). They're recommended but not mandatory; walk-ins and same-day reservations are taken at every restaurant. More tables open up once you board.
Are LGBTQIA+ travellers welcome?
Yes — and very visibly so. Virgin Voyages doesn't run dedicated LGBTQ events, but the on-board culture is openly inclusive and the entertainment, staff and styling reflect it.
Can I book a cabin for one person?
Yes. Studio cabins are designed for solo sailors at a single supplement, and there are dedicated solo-sailor meet-ups during each voyage. You can also book a double cabin to yourself for a smaller premium.
