Resilient Lady

This is a brand-new take on cruising for adults only – the young and the young at heart. Forget everything you know or have heard about cruising this is a completely different experience. The kid-free, superyacht-inspired lady ships feature signature red hammocks on every balcony (exclusive to the brand!) and focus on offering nothing but exceptional service; Virgin Voyages’ unique vision has been dropping jaws since they first hit the water. 

Key West

Key West can be best described as Cape Cod meets the Caribbean combining the best bits of both for its own unique blend of tropical relaxation & enjoyment. A visit to Key West will easily surpass those in other more popular parts of Florida in terms of nightlife, shopping, dining and natural sights such as Sunset Plaza and the bustling marina with its rustic wooden boardwalk and pier posts topped by pelicans waiting for a lazy fish!

Enjoy an  uninterrupted day of relaxation at sea making the most of the entertainment, facilities and dining options on board.

Bimini, Bahamas

This is Virgin Voyages very own party island in the Bahamas for a BBQ ,sun and fun party. The ship arrives at 9 am and departs at 7pm just after sunset - so there is a full day on the beach sinking your toes into powder white sands , enjoying the pool complex and having a dance to the DJ set as the sun sets.
