Virgin Voyages is sharing several new updates, including the launch of several new itineraries, menu changes and new entertainment offerings.

For the winter of 2026-2027, the cruise brand will adjust the schedule of its 4-night “Fire & Sunset Soirees” cruises to Key West and Bimini. The voyages will depart on Thursday and return on Monday, offering travelers a chance to take a long weekend cruise.

The company will also call at Panama City and St. Thomas in winter 2026-2027. New itineraries include the 5-night “Jamaican Daze & Bimini Breeze” to Ocho Rios, as well as the 5-night “Cayman Isles & Bimini Beach Miles” to Georgetown.

Next week, bookings will also open for a 17-night voyage through the Panama Canal to Miami.

Virgin Voyages is also introducing some new menu items at two of its onboard restaurants. At Extra Virgin, it’s debuting new pastas, arancini, seafood risotto and roasted monkfish. And at Gunbae, it’s offering shrimp kimbap rolls, bulgogi fire meat and bo ssam (whole roasted pork butt with oysters and caviar).

The cruise brand is also offering a 10 percent travel discount for parties of eight or more, as well as up to $300 in free drinks and a dedicated group dinner at one of the line’s restaurants. The company will soon launch new welcome amenities like fresh flowers, sparkling wine, chocolate and beer buckets.

Onboard the recently refurbished Scartlet Lady, the company is adding two new shows: an interactive Y2K party and a concert-style “It’s a Rock Show-ke.” When Brilliant Lady debuts in September, the ship will offer several new shows, including a production featuring Virgin Records’ musical catalog from the last five decades.

Virgin Voyages is also bringing back its popular Comedy Fest cruise in Britain. The voyage will depart August 30 from Portsmouth, hosted by headliner Jack Whitehall. The brand will also debt a new U.S.-based Comedy Festival voyage, departing August 10 from Miami.
