NOT YOUR PARENTS' CRUISE

Why Virgin Voyages

Richard Branson didn't build another cruise line — he built the anti-cruise. No kids. No buffets. No formal nights. No nickel-and-diming.

Instead: 20+ restaurants (all included), a tattoo parlor, world-class DJs, immersive parties, and a thermal spa. Every ship feels like a boutique hotel that happens to float.

Virgin Voyages is for people who'd never consider a cruise — until they hear about this one.

ONLY ON VIRGIN VOYAGES

Signature Experiences

These are the moments that make Virgin Voyages unlike anything else at sea.

Scarlet Night

The signature event — the ship transforms into a massive, immersive party. Red dress code, surprise performances, fire dancers, and an energy that builds all night.

The Manor

A multi-level nightclub experience with world-class DJs, craft cocktails, and an atmosphere that rivals the best clubs on land.

Squid Ink

A real tattoo parlor at sea. Get commemorative ink from professional artists — because the best souvenirs are permanent.

Bimini Beach Club

Virgin Voyages' private beach club in the Bahamas. Lagoon-style pool, beach bars, live DJs, and white sand. Caribbean sailings only.

The Perch

A boxing ring turned into a performance space. Acrobatics, dance, and live shows in an intimate setting that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Redemption Spa

A thermal suite, mud room, salt room, cold plunge pools, and hydrotherapy pool — all complimentary. Full spa treatments available for purchase.

THE BESTMATES DIFFERENCE

Why Book With Us

We're certified Virgin Voyages First Mates — meaning we have direct access to VV's advisor tools, training, and perks that the booking engine doesn't offer.

The price is the same as booking direct. But with us, you get a real human who knows the ships, the cabins, and the itineraries — plus potential bonus perks.

Same Price, More Support

You'll never pay more booking through us. Our commissions come from Virgin Voyages, not from you.

Cabin Expertise

We'll help you pick the right cabin category, deck, and location based on your priorities — quiet vs. party, views vs. budget.

Bonus Sailor Loot

Depending on the sailing and promotion, we can often secure extra onboard credit for your voyage.

Dining & Shore Thing Recs

We've been on the ships. We'll tell you which restaurants to book first and which Shore Things are actually worth it.

Groups & Celebrations

Planning a birthday, bachelor/ette, or friend group trip? We handle Circles (VV's group program) so everyone books together seamlessly.

QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked

Is Virgin Voyages really adults-only? +
Yes — all sailors must be 18 or older. No kids, no exceptions. This is by design: the vibe, entertainment, and dining are all curated for an adult audience.
What's actually included in the fare? +
All 20+ restaurants, WiFi, group fitness, basic beverages, gratuities, entertainment, and most onboard activities. The only extras are premium drinks, spa treatments, shore excursions, and specialty experiences.
What makes Virgin Voyages different from other cruise lines? +
No buffets. No formal nights. No kids. No main dining room. Instead: specialty restaurants, a tattoo parlor, immersive parties, and a design-forward approach that feels more boutique hotel than traditional cruise ship.
How long are the voyages? +
Typically 4-8 nights, with some longer Transatlantic and Mediterranean itineraries running 9-14 nights. Weekend "Scarlet Night" sailings are available as short 3-night voyages.
What is Sailor Loot? +
Onboard credit that can be used for drinks, spa treatments, shore excursions, and more. When you book through us, you may receive bonus Sailor Loot as part of our advisor perks.
Do I need a passport? +
For Caribbean cruises departing from and returning to the same US port, a passport isn't technically required for US citizens (a birth certificate + government ID works), but we strongly recommend having a valid passport for all international travel.
What's the dress code? +
There isn't one — seriously. No formal nights, no suit-and-tie requirements. Wear what makes you feel good. The only exception: Scarlet Night has an optional (but encouraged) red dress code.
Why book through BestMates instead of directly? +
Same price as booking direct, but with us you get a dedicated advisor, help choosing the right cabin and voyage, dining and excursion recommendations, and potential bonus perks like extra Sailor Loot. Plus, a real person to call if anything goes sideways.
