Great experience

Virgin Voyages doing it right!
"Fantastic voyage aboard the Scarlet Lady! So different from any other cruise line. Every sailor we met loved the “adults only” voyage and would definitely plan on booking again with Virgin in the future."

Best dining. Best nightlife. And counting.
We’ve always dreamed of creating transformational experiences for our Sailors. And being recognized for it in so many ways is incredibly heartwarming. Take a peek at our accolades and the humbling awards that motivate us to sail forward.
You could say we’ve got a past…
It’s true. Virgin has always done things differently. But one thing remained the same: the unmistakable RockStar Service. And that’s what we’re doing with Virgin Voyages — tying the delights only a Virgin brand can offer with a superyacht-like experience you’ll never forget.
