Why We Love Sailing with Virgin Voyages & You Will Too!

There’s something magical about setting sail—feeling the ocean breeze, watching the horizon stretch endlessly ahead, and knowing you’re about to embark on an adventure. With so many regions to choose from, each trip is truly unique. When it comes to sailing with Virgin Voyages, that magic gets taken a whole new level. We’ve fallen head over heels for this cruise line, and here’s why we think you will too.

It’s an Adults-Only Escape

Let’s start with the obvious: Virgin Voyages is for grown-ups only. No kids splashing in the pool, no high-pitched squeals echoing down the hallways—just a ship full of adults ready to unwind and have a good time. For us, it’s a breath of fresh air. Whether we’re sipping cocktails by the pool or enjoying a quiet moment on our balcony, the vibe is elite. It’s like the ultimate kid-free getaway we didn’t know we needed until we tried it.

The Food Is Out of This World

Forget everything you think you know about cruise dining—Virgin Voyages rewrites the book. There’s no stuffy buffet or assigned seating here. Instead, you have over 20 eateries to choose from, each with its own personality and flavor. From the only Korean BBQ at sea at Gunbae (complete with a fun drinking game to kick things off), fresh handmade Italian pasta at Extra Virgin, and melt-in-your-mouth steaks at The Wake. Every dish is made to order, and the quality rivals some of our favorite restaurants on land. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience—and we can’t get enough. The best part is all of the specialty dining is included - no extra charges!

The Vibe

One of the things that sets Virgin Voyages apart is how effortlessly inclusive it feels. The crew greets you with a cheeky “Ahoy, Sailor!” and a playful energy that’s contagious. Everyone’s welcome here, no matter who you are or how you like to vacation. Want to party all night? There’s a spot for that. Prefer to lounge with a book and a mocktail? You’re covered. We love how the ship feels like a floating community where we can be ourselves—whether that’s dancing at Scarlet Night or napping in our cabin’s signature red hammock.

The Entertainment Is Next-Level

Speaking of Scarlet Night, the entertainment on Virgin Voyages is unlike anything we’ve seen at sea. It’s bold, it’s fun, and it’s definitely not your typical cruise show. From pop-up circus acts to DJs spinning late into the night, there’s always something happening. We’ve laughed our way through comedy nights, gotten swept up in theatrical performances, and even joined a PJ party in our coziest loungewear. It’s the kind of fun that keeps us buzzing long after the lights go down. Sometimes they'll even have special guests onboard - we were lucky enough to see Tape Face from America's Got Talent.

Those Little Details That Wow

It’s the small stuff that really seals the deal for us. The cabins are sleek and modern, with mood lighting we can tweak from a tablet (hello, “get it on” mode). The bar tab system is genius—pre-load it before you sail, and they throw in extra credit, so our drinks feel like a steal. And don’t get us started on the Beach Club at Bimini—a private slice of paradise with white sand, cabanas, and a chill playlist that makes us never want to leave. Even the basics, like free Wi-Fi and no gratuity hassles, make the whole trip feel effortless.

Destinations That Steal Your Heart

Virgin Voyages knows how to pick ‘em. Whether we’re wandering the colorful streets of Key West, soaking up the sun in Bimini, or exploring the Mediterranean vibes of Ibiza, every stop feels hand-picked for maximum awe. We love that they often stay late in ports, giving us time to experience the nightlife or just linger a little longer over a sunset. It’s not just about getting there—it’s about really being there. Sometimes there's even overnight stays, allowing you to stay out as late as you'd like and explore the next morning before leaving port. Our recent overnight in Mykonos was nothing but a dream!

It’s a Fresh Take on Cruising

Maybe the biggest reason we love Virgin Voyages is how it shakes up the cruise game. It’s rebellious in the best way—ditching the old-school traditions for something modern, luxe, and downright fun. There’s no “cruise director” barking orders over a loudspeaker, just a laid-back crew ready to make our trip unforgettable. It feels like Richard Branson said, “Let’s build a ship we’d want to sail on,” and boy, did they deliver. Richard Branson even sails on Virgin himself from time to time.

For us, sailing with Virgin Voyages is like hitting the reset button on vacation. It’s indulgent without being pretentious, exciting without being overwhelming, and always leaves us counting down the days until we can do it again. If you’re on the fence about giving it a try, take it from us: step aboard, and you’ll see why we’re hooked.
