Sailing with Virgin Voyages
Sailing with Virgin Voyages was such an exciting and unique experience! Virgin Voyages is a cruise line that was launched by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group in 2020. They aim to offer a new approach to cruising, targeting a younger and more adventurous demographic.
A few ways they stand out from the other cruise lines are:
- Adults-only Experience: Virgin Voyages focuses on providing an adult-oriented experience. Passengers must be at least 18 years old to sail, ensuring a more relaxed and grown-up atmosphere.
- Ships: There are 4 ships: The Resilient Lady, The Scarlet Lady, The Valiant Lady, and the Brilliant Lady
- Unique Destinations: Virgin Voyages aims to offer unique itineraries and take passengers to less-traveled destinations. They often focus on Caribbean and Mediterranean routes, but with a twist, offering longer stays in ports and overnight stays to allow passengers to explore the destinations more thoroughly
- Trendy Design: Virgin Voyages emphasizes stylish and contemporary design throughout their ships. The cabins feature a sleek and modern aesthetic, and the public spaces are designed to create a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere.
- No Buffets: In an effort to break away from traditional cruise experiences, Virgin Voyages has eliminated the traditional buffet-style dining. Instead, they offer a variety of complimentary and specialty dining options, allowing passengers to have a more personalized and elevated culinary experience.
- Entertainment and Activities: Virgin Voyages offers a range of entertainment options onboard, including live music, DJ sets, theater performances, and more. They also have a focus on wellness, with a fitness center, spa, and wellness activities available for passengers to enjoy.
- Environmental Focus: Virgin Voyages is committed to sustainability and has implemented several initiatives to reduce their environmental impact. They use clean energy technology, limit single-use plastics, and have introduced measures to conserve water and reduce waste.
I personally did the Greek Islands cruise and had the most incredible time! I will 100% be cruising with Virgin Voyages again!
