Virgin Voyages has made a statement to the cruising industry: Cruising doesn't have to feel traditional. With adults only in mind, Virgin Voyages flips traditional cruise teetering the high seas on its head. From open dining and all inclusive pricing, to contemporary ships and laid back energy, the brand directly addresses travelers looking for freedom, fun and personality with every journey. Instead of trying to please everyone, Virgin Voyages is optimizing for a "modern, social and distinctly different" experience.
Virgin Voyages was created around freedom and personal expression. The cruise line steers clear of fixed schedules, formal nights and old fashioned cruising. Visitors are welcome to customize their experience, whether that's kicking back poolside or venturing to destinations or dancing until the early hours.
It's a philosophy that encourages an air of informality but who continues to power things around you. There's no pressure to engage in anything or meet any sort of standard. Instead, travel is catered to the traveler, not the other way around.
Aboard Virgin Voyages ships, there are countless iconic features that echo the style and taste of our modern crew. Everything is specially designed spaces, from spacious pool areas to quiet places of reflection in the nature inspired decks. The ships feel less like floating hotels and more like dynamic lifestyle spaces.
The cabins are as much about comfort and technology: smart lighting, programmable controls, and thoughtful storage. Common spaces promote the social while avoiding overcrowding a nice mix of social energy and space to just be.
Virgin Voyages will sail to destinations across the Caribbean, Mediterranean and transatlantic. But what makes these itineraries distinct is the freedom they offer when guests arrive on the ground.
Extended port stays and late departures enable passengers to experience destinations after the sun sets. Guests have time to sightsee, take in the town's culture and nightlife or just stroll without having to rush back to the ship early.
Life on board Virgin Voyages shifts according to mood and tempo. On most days, the vibe is laid back, with wellness classes, poolside lounging and low key entertainment. Guests can take in fitness sessions, spa treatments or quiet moments with views of the ocean.
The energy changes as the evening falls on it. It's themed partying and music to the max. Nightlife seems loose and spontaneous, rather than programmed, enabling guests to join in or bolt at will.
It is one of the highlights for Virgin Voyages. Traditional main dining rooms and assigned eating times are a thing of the past with an array of diverse restaurants serving global cuisine. Guests can eat what they want, where they want, and with whom they want.
Meals are included in the fare, reducing the upsold at every opportunity feeling. Here the emphasis is on quality, imagination, and ambiance, not formality; meals are an integral and pleasant part of 'the journey' as you'll often read.
