Virgin Voyages has carved out a unique position in the cruise industry, with its glamorous, adults-only ships. The line has won multiple awards in recent years including #1 Best Large Cruise Ship (Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards 2026), #1 Mega Cruise Ship (Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026), Best Cruise Line for the Money (U.S. News & World Report 2026), and Cruise Getaways: Adults Only, At Sea (Good Housekeeping Travel Awards 2026).
Travelers love Virgin Voyages for the way it caters its food, entertainment, and activities to adult tastes—with a focus on being upscale but not stuffy. The line got rid of buffets and set dining times, and allows its guests, called Sailors, the opportunity to reserve tables when it works for them or simply wander around The Galley to see what intrigues them. Onboard menus are created by Michelin-starred chefs from across the globe. Sailors can experience Italian, Korean BBQ, spicy Mexican food, or a decadent steakhouse on any given evening, without an upcharge.
Other aspects to a Virgin Voyage cruise can include:
• The Beach Club at Bimini, a private island in the Bahamas, a port on some sailings, features a pool, beachside bar, cabanas, and more.
• Exercise is a great way to pre-burn off those big dinners, and if that’s your thing, you can participate in HIIT classes, yoga, group cycling, or even 1980s-inspired aerobics classes. Or, of course, there’s the excellent onboard fitness center if you’re more of a do-it-yourself kind.
• Cabins here are incredibly livable, with television, mood lighting, electronic curtains, and a stunning hand-woven hammock located on your terrace.
• Hidden spaces are always fun to discover as you wander the ship, and Virgin includes plenty, from secret karaoke rooms to an old-school arcade to an outside tunning track.
• Included items that travelers really want, such as WiFi, world-class entertainment, fitness classes, all the dining, and beverages such as non-pressed juices, teas, and drip coffee..
Virgin Voyages also goes where you want to explore, from the Caribbean to Europe, as well as North America, Alaska, and even transatlantic journeys.
