Virgin’s fares include festival-like entertainment line-ups created in consultation with groundbreaking producers, directors, choreographers, and artists, and unlimited group fitness classes. Don’t miss cutting-edge wellbeing, relaxation, and rejuvenation facilities and activities onboard such as the Aquatic Club, a Build & Balance gym and yoga studio, outdoor boxing and HIIT sessions, an alfresco jogging track, and curated hikes at ports.

Virgin Voyages’ modern take on cruise cuisine has earned it many awards. There are no buffets or pre-set dining times here. Made-to-order food and leisurely brunches are all included in your package, with options ranging from steakhouses to Korean barbecue, a global food market, and even a cooking lab. There are also vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options in every venue.

Virgin ships feel like sleek yachts and feature sociable spaces within modern interiors, as well as cabin types to suit all kinds of travellers. You can pick from VIP Rock Star Quarters and Mega Rock Star Quarters with exclusive benefits, or there are lovely Sea Terraces with alfresco hammocks, Sea Views with duo window seats, and posh but cosy Insiders or Social Insiders for couples or friends respectively.
