Why this bold, stylish cruise line is one of my top recommendations for couples, friends & grown-up getaways.
If you love the idea of a vacation that feels modern, elevated, and totally stress-free — Virgin Voyages is going to be your new favourite escape. This adults-only cruise line was designed for travellers who want a boutique-hotel vibe at sea, Michelin-level dining, and a fresh take on cruising that feels anything but traditional.
Here’s your complete guide, including perks, ship details and cabin types to help you picture the experience.
What Makes Virgin Voyages Different
Unlike traditional cruise lines, Virgin Voyages focuses on adult travellers (18+), elevated design, amazing dining, and transparent pricing. The result? A chic, resort-style vacation where you can relax, explore, and genuinely enjoy being at sea — without kids, crowds, or constant upsells.
