    The Virgin Difference

    Details

    Brilliant inclusions on every adults-only voyage. Perks that put our Sailors at the helm of VIP treatment. Never dimming their glow with unexplained charges. Dining at 20+ eateries - Tips - WiFi - Essential drinks - Group fitness classes - Entertainment.

    ALWAYS INCLUDED

    Food to elevate the mood.

    When we say “included,” we mean it. From comfort go-to’s to experimental cuisine, elaborate brunches to Korean BBQ, all our specialty eateries are on us — no hidden tax, no pesky disclaimer, no crowded buffets or designated dining times. Plus, all our food is sustainably sourced, made fresh-to-order, and always tasty. Your Sailors can go ahead and snap that pic — because we’re picking up the bill.

    ALSO INCLUDED

    We’ve taken care of tipping.

    We’ve reimagined the way people holiday at sea from the hull up — so that epic service becomes the norm. Our Crew is knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly stylish — but mainly, our Crew is genuinely happy to help your Sailors make their vacation one of a kind. So they can get pampered, taste everything, and enjoy a drink (or two) knowing that all tips are covered. Cheers to that.

    YEP—INCLUDED, TOO.

    Free WiFi for all.

    Your Sailors can check in with their loved ones. Make new connections aboard. Or post that ice cream selfie before it melts. With WiFi included for unlimited devices on every sailing, they can show off and share the view with their home crew, find their new best friends online, or check email (look, we get it, sometimes it’s hard to *fully* let go) — because, let’s be honest, in this day and age, WiFi should be considered as essential as water.

    INCLUDED? THIS, TOO.

    Unlimited group workouts.

    For the 'do-nothings,' the 'do-somethings' and the 'do-literally-everythings' (they know who they are), we have tons of group fitness classes on board so that your Sailors can Sea the world and keep the #FitnessGoals going. From sunrise yoga and outdoor boxing to a cycling studio and bungee workouts — they’ll have full access to classes and state-of-the-art gym equipment for unlimited opportunities to break a sweat. And if they’re not the working-out kind, well, the views are nice from the gym.

    STILL INCLUDED

    All essential drinks. On Us.

    Hydration is key — especially in a sun-soaked, adventure-filled, energy-buzzing holiday at sea. Your Sailors can start the day with a drip-coffee, quench post-workout thirst with still and sparkling water, get a non-pressed juice by the pool, or find the perfect soda and end their day in paradise with their favorite bedtime tea. With all essential drinks already covered, they can recharge, free of charge.

    LIGHTS. CAM. ON US.

    Late nights and neon lights.

    With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment your Sailors will experience on board is something they’ve never seen before. It’s wild. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a full-on extravaganza. And it couldn’t be anything else. Digging deep into our musical roots, we’ve collaborated with the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists to create the live entertainment only a Virgin brand could.
