Virgin Voyages

Dining Onboard

Michelin-starred chef collective creates incredible onboard dining experiences. Virgin Voyages have ditched buffets and pre-set dining times to bring their guests, made-to-order food and leisurely brunches from our 20+ unique eateries. All the food is included - meaning no exclusive spots they have to pay to get into. Pairing fresh ingredients and vibrant flavours with ever-evolving ways to experience food, they’ve elevated and diversified our menus while minimizing waste by only cooking what’s been ordered. It’s a win for their stomach and a win for the planet.

Here’s a taste of what to expect from some of their eateries onboard; 

• 20+ Eateries On Us - From steakhouses and Korean BBQ to a cooking lab and an international food market, all eateries are on them.
• No Buffets or Big Dining Halls - With unique spaces and diverse options, they’ve ditched the one-big-dining-hall experience and said goodbye to buffets.
• Late-Night Bites - Whether you're craving a slice of pizza, a burger, or a hearty diner breakfast - your schedule doesn’t stop, so neither will theirs.
• Made-To-Order - Every eatery has its own kitchen and an executive chef - and all their food is fresh and made-to-order, never mass-produced.
• Fresh Is Best - Balance is key, so they offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options in every eatery - designed from scratch and always created from the freshest ingredients.
• Michelin-Starred Chefs - World-class Chefs like Brad Farmerie (of PUBLIC in NYC) and Sohui Kim (of The Good Fork and Insa in NYC) are a few of the names behind their incredible menus.

Entertainment 

Swapping classic Broadway productions for exhilarating, contemporary and immersive entertainment, guests who sail with Virgin Voyages have the opportunity to choose from a festival-like lineup of shows and happenings developed by the world’s most-talked-about producers, directors, choreographers and artists. From modern takes on classic stories to interactive dance parties and off-the-wall participatory acts, the bespoke intimate and authentic experiences will push the boundaries of traditional stage performances. 

Wellness

Expect a Virgin-style makeover to cruise spa & fitness programming. Whether you are into high-intensity workouts, deep breaths in search of nirvana, or if you are that person who pays for a gym membership but never uses it – Virgin Voyages provide spaces for everyone to care for themselves in whichever way works best for them. For the 'do-nothings,' 'do some things' and the 'do literally everythings' they have a way to sweat that suits everyone. From sunrise yoga to outdoor boxing, meditation to HIIT workouts, and even specifically curated hikes at their ports, their approach to working out is that it works for their guests.

Sustainable Sailing

Not only do they seek continuous improvements to minimize their carbon, energy, waste and water footprints on board, but they partner with not-for-profit organizations to advance ocean education and protection so it thrives for generations to come.

• They are carbon neutral for direct emissions through the purchase of carbon offsets –– making them the very first cruise line to commit to this initiative from their first moments at sea. The innovative technologies onboard transform heat from the ship's engines into clean energy and purify wastewater so that it’s even clean enough to drink.
• We're pioneering innovative technologies that transform heat from the ship's engines into clean energy, and purify wastewater so that it’s even clean enough to drink.
• Unnecessary single-use plastics, including straws, water bottles, shopping bags, food packaging, stirrers and takeaway cups are banned from their ships.
• From eliminating buffets to serving sustainable seafood and direct trade coffee, they use some clever techniques to reduce waste and source responsibly.

Cabins

Modern, yacht-inspired aesthetic and clever cabin technology make for more than just a space to live (or sleep). The cabins and suites are a hero experience, a signature moment, places to escape and retreat from the world. They are cosy, stylish, modern and smart. This is sailing the Virgin way.

• Mega Rockstar Quarters - These suites are the most exclusive, top-tier luxury living on board; granting guests prime access, 24/7 agent attention, and a bottomless in-room bar. These suites boast large marbled bathrooms with Peek-a-Boo showers, hand-woven terrace hammocks and outdoor Peek-a-View showers for when rinsing off requires a little help from the moonlight. 
• Sea Terrace - Whether you're getting ready inside at the glam area, rinsing off in your Roomy Rainshower or relaxing outside on your hand-woven terrace hammock, these spaces are designed to give you sweeping views of the horizon as the mood lighting intuitively matches the light from the oncoming sunset.
• Sea View - For solo travellers looking for quiet moments with the sea from the super large single beds, or duos perched on the nautically-inspired window seats — the ocean is yours to make eyes with. Gazing out at the waves every morning, this is the closest you can get to the ocean (without the windblown hair).
• Insider - Friend groups, solo Sailors, and duos alike can get in on the Insider action. Roomy Rainshowers and mood lighting punctuate these cosy escapes — giving you the space to recover today and prepare for tomorrow.
