HR LOON CRUISE

May 16 - 23, 2027

Greek Isles and Turkish Hues – 8 day sailing, Athens roundtrip

“We're good here. Your family is here”

This is shaping up to be the first global gathering of the Loons!!! There will be Heated Rivalry themed gatherings onboard, maybe watch parties, casual meetups and more intentional moments designed around the show, the fandom, and the people who found each other because of both. These are the kinds of experiences that simply cannot exist on a mainstream sailing. They exist because we are a specific group of people who already share a new language, a shared obsession with a slow f**king hockey player and his beautiful freckles who can’t do math, and a genuine enthusiasm for being in the same room together. While Virgin Voyages gives us the backdrop, we are bringing our own energy to the voyage. Tell Peepol !!!!

  • About Virgin Voyages

    Not every cruise line is built for a group like ours. But Virgin Voyages? It might as well have been. Virgin Voyages is adults only, always. Virgin has built one of the most genuinely inclusive cultures in the cruise industry, welcoming adults of all ages, backgrounds, and identities, with a particularly strong reputation within the LGBTQ+ community. There is even a tattoo studio on board!

    Food is entirely included across 20+ restaurants with menus by Michelin starred chefs, with no cover charges, no reservation anxiety, and no buffets. Imagine a Korean BBQ with drinking games, a steakhouse, a proper brunch situation, and handmade pasta with or without the shimmy😉. You eat what you want, when you want, with whoever you want. Maybe, just maybe, we can get tuna melts and ginger ale…

    Forget the Broadway light shows with people in sequins. There are themed parties, pop up moments, DJ sets that run well past midnight, and a guest experience team whose entire job is creating the kind of spontaneous memories that are hard to plan but impossible to forget. Scarlet Night is one of their signature events, a ship wide party where everyone wears red, and it lands right in our wheelhouse.

  • Staterooms on the Scarlet Lady:

    We currently have 16 Sea Terrace cabins on hold, including forward, aft, and midship locations. Sea Terrace cabin comes with a private balcony, Virgin's iconic red hammock, a Roomy Rain shower, and mood lighting you control from a tablet. It's a boutique hotel room that happens to have the Mediterranean as its view. Beds can be configured with one queen or two twins.

    ** Other cabin types available, see pricing details

  • Pricing & Payments:

    All pricing is in Canadian dollars (CAD), because of course it is. This is a Canadian show and we are leaning into that with pride, and to keep things simple. A group discount has already been baked into every cabin rate, so what you see is your best most flexible price. * All pricing subject to change until confirmed with payment.*

    Price PER cabin, based on 2 in the cabin, starting from:

    Insider: 4151.51 CAD (2075.75 per person)

    Sea View: 5061 CAD (2530.50 per person)

    Sea View Terrace (forward/aft):  5755 CAD (2877.50 CAD per person)

    Sea View Terrace (midship/central):  5955 CAD (2977.50 CAD per person)

    Rockstar and Mega Rockstar Suites available: starting from 12,792.74 CAD per cabin

    Payments:  20% deposit of your cabin fare is all that stands between you and your rightful place at the first ever gathering of the Loons. Remaining balance due Jan 11, 2027. See cancellation/change section below for terms and conditions.

    Going solo? Sometimes the greatest love story is you and your own cabin, where the snacks are all yours and the blankets are non-negotiable. Single rates are available upon request.

    Don't have a plus one who shares your enthusiasm for the fandom? Don't let that hold you back. Are you willing to share a cabin with a fellow fan? We may be able to pair you up. Just reach out and we will see what we can do. "Yes, it's scary, but you are brave."

    Send your inquiry through the "I need to ask a question" button.

  • “We All Deserve Sunshine” fund:

    Think of this as our collective joy budget. The vision would be that it covers things like exclusive event spaces, fan swag, trivia showdowns, prizes, and whatever other magic we dream up together. Because some things are just better when we all chip in. Pricing will be confirmed once we have a better sense of our group size but we will keep it at a reasonable amount ($100-150 CAD). Like all good things, it gets better with more people. Once paid, all funds will be non-refundable. Stay tuned for details.

  • What's Included:

    Stateroom: Your fabulous stateroom.

    Dining: All specialty dining at 20+ eateries is included. There are no hidden taxes, no cover charges, no crowded buffets, and no designated dining times. Instead of a traditional buffet, they offer The Galley, a food-hall style space where everything is made to order.

    • One specialty dining night included for the group.

    Sailor Loot: This is a $100 USD per cabin, shipboard credit use anywhere on board - maybe towards a new tattoo?

    Beverages: Still and sparkling water, sodas, non-pressed juices, teas, and drip coffee are all included. Alcoholic beverages are available separately – see “not included” for the bar tab details.

    WiFi: Basic WiFi is included on 1 device for every sailor. Faster streaming speeds are available as an upgrade.

    Fitness and Wellness: Group fitness classes are included, covering yoga, spin, HIIT, 80s-inspired VHS workouts, and more, along with a fully equipped gym, an outdoor running track, and functional training areas. The Redemption Spa offers premium treatments at an additional cost, but the core wellness experience is built in.

    Hotels: Hotel accommodations pre or post cruise are at your own expense.

    Transfers:  to and from the ship, hotels and airport are at your own expense.

    Gratuities to the crew:  Can be prepaid and that is the best value.

    We Deserve Sunshine Fund: pricing TBD

    Alcoholic Beverages: Cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, and fresh-pressed juices are available à la carte in bars and restaurants. A Bar Tab add-on package is available for pre-purchase.

    What is Bar Tab and how does it work?

    Cocktails, mocktails, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices are available a la carte in bars and restaurants. A Bar Tab add on package is available for pre purchase. Bar Tab is onboard credit that can be used on premium beverages throughout the ship. For every Bar Tab purchased, Virgin Voyages adds a bonus amount on the house. Any unused Bar Tab credit is non refundable at the end of the voyage, so drink up or share with a friend.

    Shore Excursions Virgin Voyages refers to these as "Shore Things" and they are bookable separately through the Sailor app.

    Insurance: Trip cancellation, interruption, and medical insurance is at your own expense.

    Visas/Travel Authorizations: Travel/tourist visas are the responsibility of each traveler.

    Upgraded WiFi:  Basic WiFi is included, but faster streaming speeds are an optional upgrade.

    Spa Treatments: The Redemption Spa offers premium treatments at an additional cost.

    Room Service Ship Eats (their room service) is available onboard, but fees and details may vary.

    Squid Ink Tattoo Studio: It’s the first tattoo and piercing studio at sea, offering professional tattoos and body piercings. The studio features resident artists from around the world who use vegan, cruelty free ink.

    Items of a personal nature: such as laundry, telephone calls, personal spending etc.

  • Cancellation/Changes:

    Nobody wants to talk about cancellations. We get it. But here is the deal...

    • Your deposit is non-refundable after 7 days. It is the price of holding your spot in Loon history.

    Beyond that, here is how the timeline works:

    • More than 120 days prior to sailing: the deposit is moved into a future cruise credit with Virgin Voyages.
    • 119-45 days prior: All voyage fare payments are non-refundable but will be transferred to a Future Voyage Credit.
    • Inside 44 days: All voyage fare payments are non-refundable.

    Moral of the story? Grab travel insurance. It is the smartest thing you will do after booking this trip. See the travel insurance section below.

  • Insurance:

    We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance. Emergencies arise, global disruptions arise and we want to make sure you're fully covered. We can offer insurance [trip cancellation, interruption, emergency medical coverage] to Canadian and American travelers only. If you reside outside of Canada or the US, please contact a local travel agency or insurance broker for coverage.
