Virgin Voyages is an adults-only cruise line: every sailor on its four Lady Ships, Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady, is 18 or over. There’s no buffet and no set dining times. Instead, there are 20+ eateries, and all of them are included in your fare, along with Wi-Fi, essential drinks and unlimited group fitness classes.
Why Travelers Love Virgin Voyages
The ships have a superyacht-inspired design, a festival-style lineup of original shows, The Manor nightclub with a live DJ, and Sea Terrace cabins, most with a hammock. For a splurge, RockStar Quarters suites add perks like priority boarding and Richard’s Rooftop.
In the Caribbean, Virgin sails from Miami and San Juan, and many Miami sailings spend a day at The Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin’s private beach club in The Bahamas. In Europe, sailings leave from cities like Barcelona and Athens, and Brilliant Lady sails Alaska, the Mexican Riviera and the Panama Canal.
Virgin’s fares come in different types, with different Wi-Fi levels, dining reservation windows and change rules. I’ll lay them out side by side, help you choose the ship, the itinerary and the right cabin or suite, and take care of the details.

Virgin’s Private Island
Your Private Island Day
Virgin’s private beach club in Bimini, The Bahamas, visited on many Caribbean sailings from Miami. Wi-Fi, the tram from the ship, two lagoon-style pools, the private beach with daybeds and hammocks, and Bahamian-inspired food with soda and water are included. Cocktails, cabanas and Shore Things cost extra, and like the ships, it’s adults-only.
The photo shows Bimini’s shoreline, not the Beach Club itself; no freely licensed photo of the Beach Club exists yet.

Make It More Than the Cruise
Arriving the day before you sail takes the stress out of embarkation day, and a night or two after a Europe sailing turns a cruise into a bigger trip. I’ll arrange your pre- and post-cruise hotel nights, cruise parking and transfers along with your cruise. Just ask when you request your quote.
