Ahoy world cruisers!! If you haven't cruised the "Virgin Way" (Virgin Voyages Cruise Line) yet, let me take this moment to introduce you to the most 5-star reviews, luxuriously designed, and adults-only cruise line. Currently 4 lady ships; the Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady, and the Brilliant Lady (launching 2024), will sail you and your crew to the Caribbean, Europe, the South Pacific, the Transatlantic and last but not least, the private island Beach Club at Bimini (so beautiful and lots of fun).
While my intent is to show you all the highlights about VVCL, I present some of the most impressive highlights here. Please know that there is so much more to love. So let's get into it! Scroll down and kept scrolling to the bottom and I will show you some of the differences you will find on Virgin so that you can BOOK YOUR CRUISE NOW!
PASSPORT REQUIRED
Check your passport expiration dates as soon as you start planning a trip, and remember some countries – including most of Europe – will require that your passport expiration date is at least six months away. A passport is the only acceptable form of identification for international travel. If you aren’t carrying your passport, it’s virtually impossible to enter another country by airplane or ship without being denied entry. In addition to identifying yourself through your photo and signature, passports are marked with a unique number called an “international standard serial number,” which allows customs officials to access your personal information quickly. So, if you get left behind at one of your ship's international destinations or, there is a medical emergency and you're not able to get back on the ship then you will have to catch a flight back home. Without a passport it would cause you problems at customs upon returning home (USA). If you don't have a passport get one NOW by clicking here for more information!
Partnering with famed restauranteurs and Michelin-Starred chefs from NYC to bring you:
Boost your drink experience with a $100, $200, or $300 pre-purchased Bar Tab, and Virgin Voyages will top you off with bonus onboard credit so you can have a few extra rounds on them. Choose the option that best suits your sipping style:
• $100 Bar Tab: Get an extra $10, totaling $110 for drinks.
• $200 Bar Tab: Enjoy an additional $25, giving you $225 for libations.
• $300 Bar Tab: The best value! Receive an extra $50 for a grand total of $350 in drinks.
Use your bar tab to buy drinks for yourself or anyone—not every Sailor in your cabin needs their own bar tab -- providing ultimate flexibility without the waste of traditional drink packages.
Your bar tab also gets you non-alcoholic options like specialty coffees, pressed juices and smoothies so purchase your pre-paid bar tab before the day of embarkation because it will be too late to get a bar tab once you are aboard the ship. And last there is no need for tipping. The tip is included in the price.

For one, check in with your loved ones. Make new connections aboard. Or post that ice cream selfie before it melts. With Wi-Fi included on every sailing, you can show off share the view with your home crew, find your newest best friends online, or check in on your email (look, we get it, sometimes it’s hard to *fully* let go) — because, let’s be honest, in this day and age, Wi-Fi should be considered as essential as water.
Every Sailor has the opportunity to choose Voyage Protection when booking. If you decide you want to add Voyage Protection after booking, please contact your travel advisor to arrange it prior to making the final payment. Please visit the Aon plan page for more information about Voyage Protection benefits.

There are plenty of ways to rock The Band based on your style. Wear it as a bracelet, on your belt or simply tuck it in your pocket, we'll give you The Band as a keepsake no matter how you want to carry it. However, if you prefer a key card, we'll have some on standby at the terminal. Please note, fun extras like Shake for Champagne, ShipEats on the pool deck and quick access to events is not available with a standard key card.
The modern, yacht-inspired aesthetic and clever cabin technology make for more than just a space to live (or sleep). The custom-designed hammocks are handwoven by artisans from Yellow Leaf, a social enterprise that fosters women's empowerment and community transformation in rural Thailand.
