The Complete Guide to Virgin Voyages

Virgin Voyages is an adults-only cruise line with various destinations throughout the Caribbean, Europe, the U.S. and more.

Virgin Voyages says it is a luxury-inclusive experience, meaning passengers won’t pay more for Wi-Fi, gratuities, soda or specialty restaurants. Here's a look at Virgin Voyages, what the cruise line offers and other details about this relative newcomer.

Here’s a quick overview of a few key features of Virgin Voyages cruises.

• Cabin types: Virgin Voyages cruise ships feature up to five types of cabin: Insider rooms, Sea View rooms, Sea Terrace rooms, RockStar Quarters and Mega RockStar Quarters.

• Main U.S. routes: Virgin Voyages' main U.S. routes head to the Caribbean and leave from Miami. In 2026, the cruise line will sail from Seattle to Alaska for the first time.

• Loyalty program: Virgin Voyages has a Sailing Club loyalty program based on the number of times you've cruised with the line.

If you're a solo traveler, consider booking a Solo Insider or a Solo Sea View which offers a smaller cabin in exchange for a cheaper price.

As with most cruise lines, the cost of a cruise depends upon when you’re traveling. You’ll find the most expensive cruises during periods of high demand such as summer and spring break.

For bookings open from March 2024 to October 2025, the five-night Dominican Daze sailing out of Miami ranges from around $1,700 to $2,500 plus taxes and fees for an interior cabin. The seven-night French Daze and Ibiza nights sailing out of Barcelona ranges from around $2,100 to $2,500 plus taxes and fees for an interior cabin.

Because Virgin Voyages is new, it has four ships in its fleet: Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady and Brilliant Lady.

The oldest ship, Scarlet Lady, started sailing in 2021. As far as the onboard experience goes, they’re pretty similar. Each ship has more than 20 eateries (reservations are required for some), provides live entertainment and has plenty of locations to grab a drink.

What is the newest Virgin Voyages ship?

The newest (and fourth) Virgin Voyages ship, the Brilliant Lady, set sail in September 2025 for its inaugural voyage from New York to Bermuda. Brilliant Lady is structurally different from its sisters to accommodate Panama Canal crossings, unlocking the ability for Virgin Voyages to reach new places, such as Alaska.
