With so many different cruise lines available, how do you know which is the right one for you? Well, if you’re looking for a cruise that puts unforgettable experiences, dazzling entertainment and incredible eateries first, then Virgin Voyages might just be the one for you.
Aboard a Virgin Voyages cruise, the good stuff just keeps coming. So, to learn more about why you should consider Virgin for your next cruise, we’ve got 8 great reasons to get started.
Virgin Voyages are adult only
Virgin Voyages have an ‘exclusively adult’ policy aboard their ships, which means you have to be 18 to sail with them. While the cruise line does appreciate the joy of children, they aim to create an adult only experience that lets you switch off and enjoy some quality time off.
It’s the perfect place to revel in life’s luxuries and pleasures, whether you want to jumpstart your morning with a gym session, indulge in the likes of carpaccio and truffle pasta for dinner or enjoy a mezcal tasting. Similarly, Virgin Voyage’s shore excursions allow you to discover some of the world’s most fascinating heritage and culture sites – which you might not enjoy as much with the little ones in tow!
Virgin Voyages take you back to being carefree
With the above in mind, it’s safe to say that a Virgin Voyages’ cruise can take you back to simpler times and feel young at heart again. Their ships are designed to speak to your inner child, giving you the opportunity to reconnect. So, whether you’re looking to while away the day on a sun lounger, peruse the Michelin-starred menus or have your breath taken away by stage productions, Virgin Voyages can do it all.
It’s an incredible atmosphere to simply sit back and take it all in, whether you’re a party-goer or prefer a slower pace.
The Virgin Voyages cruise destinations
If the atmosphere on board wasn’t enough, don’t forget you also have a full itinerary to experience while on board your cruise. From cities to coasts, jungles to mountains, some of the cruise destinations aboard a Virgin Voyages cruise are simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Stay closer to home and enjoy a cruise around Europe, and unlock the hidden gems in Dubrovnik, Barcelona, Mykonos and more. Perhaps you’d rather venture across the Atlantic and discover the charms of Seattle, or the bustling vibrancy of New York City? And, for those who are yearning for a chance to dip their toes in the Caribbean Sea, ports like Antigua, Barbados, Aruba and Martinique are sure to leave a lasting impression.
Unbeatable eateries on a Virgin Voyages ship
We’ve mentioned it before, but we’ll say it again. Dining aboard a Virgin Voyages cruise is like no other. With over 20 different eateries, all included in your cruise fare, you’ll find the perfect cuisine and menu to suit your tastes. What’s more, there’s no buffet restaurants on a Virgin Voyages cruise, doubling down on waste by also creating more intimate spaces to enjoy your meals.
So, whether you’re looking for a modern twist on a traditional chophouse, Mexican small plates or Korean BBQ, it’s all right here. There’s even late night bites on offer, as well as experimental tasting menus.
But all of that is nothing without its accompanying beverages. Check out the biggest selection of tequila at mezcal at sea, have the mixologists whip up your favourite cocktail or indulge yourself in a trip to the champagne lounge.
Sit back and relax on a Virgin Voyages cruise
If you’re looking for the chance to rejuvenate and revitalise yourself whilst on your voyage at sea, look no further. The award-winning Redemption Spa is ready and waiting, offering treatments like hot mineral massages, vitamin-infused facials and seaweed wraps, while the Dry Dock blowout bar and Medi spa are perfect for making sure you look and feel your best.
Each Virgin Voyages ship has multiple swimming pools too, giving you the chance to float, get your lengths in or just dip your toes.
The exciting entertainment on Virgin Voyages
Boasting modern and immersive entertainment is something Virgin do best, and they achieve it by working with some of the most renowned directors, choreographers and artists from around the world. With themed productions, circus shows, comedians, magicians and more, it’s a festival at sea when it comes to Virgin Voyages’ stage shows.
If that’s not your thing, the onboard casino and the many bars on your ship will prove plenty entertaining for whiling away the evenings.
You can choose from fun fitness activities

If that’s not enough, you can also partake in paddleboard sessions, sign up for special hikes in port or enjoy guided meditation and yoga.
Wind down in a truly stylish cabin
