🧲 Magnetic Hooks (The Cabin Game-Changer)

📅 What to Book First (Dining, Experiences & More)

Virgin Voyages doesn’t do traditional dining schedules or “assigned seating,” which is amazing—but it also means popular restaurants and shows fill up fast. As soon as you’re able to access your itinerary in the app (typically 45 days before sail), y...

Elegant, moody, and a little sexy—morning or night. By dinner, it’s a full glam steakhouse with candlelight vibes. But don’t skip breakfast here—it’s seated, calm, and totally underrated. Perfect for: A dressed-up dinner or a quiet, indulgent start t...

Razzle Dazzle: a culinary experience

Outrageous, unpredictable, and totally adult. This isn’t your average cruise entertainment—it’s part comedy, part game show, part what did I just witness? You’ll laugh, cringe, and probably be pulled into the chaos (willingly or not). Perfect for: A...

A dreamy champagne-tea tower moment at sea. Virgin’s elegant Sip Lounge turns into an afternoon escape with layered treats, curated teas, and optional bubbles. 💡 No reservation needed—just arrive early to snag a table. Feels luxe, tastes better.

🫖 Tea Tasting Tower at The Sip Lounge

Mediterranean bites + live music + ocean sunset = perfection. This is where you unwind with skewers, dips, and a golden sky. ✨ My go-to for golden hour. Quiet, cozy, and the ultimate wind-down after a sea day.

🌅 Sunset Lounge Vibes at The Dock House

The ship comes alive at the most unexpected times. From spontaneous violin duels to glam drag performances in the stairwells, Virgin keeps the surprises coming. 🎉 The key? Stay ready. The best moments aren’t on the schedule.

🎭 Pop-Up Entertainment & Secret Parties

Casual, cozy, and open late—because sometimes you just need a perfect slice. Tucked away on the ship, this spot serves up fresh, made-to-order pizzas in a laid-back lounge setting with ocean views. 🖤 My fave combo was white sauce, arugula, and chil...

The Pizza Place on Virgin Voyages

A fitness center that feels more like a retreat. Floor-to-ceiling ocean views, sleek equipment, and a quiet vibe that somehow makes working out… enjoyable? 💡 I went early in the mornings and had the place almost to myself. Running on the treadmill ...
