Looking for a new and exciting way to cruise? Well, Virgin Voyages has you covered! Take a look at Virgin Voyages’ ships and you will discover their yacht-like, glamorous exterior was designed to break the mold.
The Overview
Virgin’s ships are 2,800 passengers, reserved for guests aged 18 and over, with no children allowed. The start-up brand is referring to its guests as “Sailors.”
“From dining and entertainment to wellness and rejuvenation, nearly every single element of the Virgin Voyages journey bring a unique Virgin style to the high seas–and not just for our 2,800 Sailors, but also for the 1,150 crew members who reside there and make amazing happen,” said Virgin, in a statement.
The Onboard Venues
For the ship’s public spaces, the clever designs start with The Athletic Club (shown above). The Club features a raised jogging track that seems to float above the ship, in an eye-catching shade of Virgin’s signature red.
A refreshing catamaran-inspired net can also be found here, allowing you to lounge above it all. Its the perfect cross section of athletic meets relaxation meets socializing, according to Virgin.
Next, get ready for Virgin’s unique dining experiences! All restaurants are included in your cruise fare, including Razzle Dazzle, named one of the Scarlet Lady’s “most spectacular culinary attractions.”
Razzle Dazzle hosts a Drag Brunch, an exciting take on one of the most popular daytime activities. According to Virgin: “For two days on every voyage, our dashing, delightful, beautiful, sassy, scandalous, and scintillatingly spectacular drag queens will take over this space to provide some entertainment even Sin City wouldn’t know what to do with.” Wow!
Other venues include the Wake restaurant, Test Kitchen (pictured above), The Pizza Place and more. Guests can choose from 20 dining options, of which some will be open 24 hours per day.
“All of our food will be made to order. In doing this, we’re cutting back on waste, drastically lowering our energy usage and emissions, and setting up the Scarlet Lady to be the future of sustainable sea travel,” Virgin said.
The Details: Inclusions and Pricing
Spectacular dining is not all that’s included in your cruise fare. Virgin Voyages is including gratuities and unlimited Wi-Fi, in addition to all fitness classes.
The voyages are also being sold on price by stateroom, as opposed to by guest, although pricing does adjust per the number of occupants per room.
Sample five-night cruises, not including port taxes or additional fees, come to approximately $250 per person per day.
Deployment includes four- and five-night cruises to the Caribbean. Four and five-night Havana After Dark itineraries will feature an overnight stay in Havana, Cuba. There are also five-night Mayan Sol voyages to Costa Maya, Mexico and five-night Dominican Daze voyages to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
Itineraries feature extended hours in port with an overnight or a late-night debarkation on all voyages. Interested in sailing on Virgin Voayges? Give us a call today at 800-709-9507.
