Virgin voyages

No kids.
Listen, we like kids. Some of us have them. We love them dearly. We are also very okay travelling without them.

No tux required.
There’s no formal night, no assigned dining room outfit pressure, and no weird cruise dress code energy. Wear what makes you feel good. Just, you know… no nakies.

No drink package nonsense.
Virgin doesn’t do the classic overpriced drink package situation, which means people tend to drink like normal humans instead of trying to “get their money’s worth” before noon. Radical concept. Love it.

Food that actually matters.
For the food people: no buffet, no sad steam-tray situation, and no “well, it’s cruise food” excuses. Virgin’s dining is restaurant-style, with menus created by Michelin-starred chefs — and it shows.

Stuff to do that doesn’t feel like forced fun.
Dodgeball, board games, pickleball, trivia, bingo with the Diva — which is not optional in spirit, because it is ridiculous in the best possible way.

Music all over the place.
Think intimate acoustic sets, cover bands, pop-up performances, and full DJ sets when the night decides it’s not done with you yet.

Wellness, if you’re into that kind of behaviour.
Bungee fitness, spin classes, group workouts, solo weights, cardio, recovery time — basically enough options to either stay on track or at least feel emotionally supported while you ignore the gym entirely.

Virgin Voyages is for people who want good food, good music, sea days, grown-up fun, and a cruise that doesn’t feel like it was built around buffet lines and bingo at 2 p.m.

Although, to be clear, we are absolutely still going to bingo with the Diva.
