Virgin Voyages Lady Ships have pulled out all the stops to become floating design icons. From the VIP top deck, club lounge and sky rooms through to that unique tattoo studio, you’ll find that no detail has been overlooked. Working with London interior designer Tom Dixon, New York’s finest Roman and Williams, Concrete Amsterdam, and Softroom London, you’ll be cruising in a ship that’s full of theatrical spaces and nautical touches, spiced up with a sense of drama and fun. And not a beige bedspread in sight.
Whether you’re living it up in the Caribbean or sailing the Med, you better be sure you’re making the most of every sun-kissed second. The Dock, Virgin Voyages exclusive onboard outdoor lounge, is where you can find total peace and tranquillity. Feeling a little more active? The Athletic Club is the spot to head to, with the world’s largest daybed (Virgin Voyages lady ships never do anything by halves!) to relax on.
At night, the stars emerge with the glitz and glamour of The Manor nightclub. This dazzling club tips a nod to Richard Branson, charting his history in the music industry, and then celebrating that heritage by banging out some insane tunes until the small hours. If you want a break from the beat, head out on deck where you can gaze out at the ocean while a billion stars shine. This is the stuff memories are made of (oops, looks like another trip to Squid Ink, then…).
No lady ship is complete without fabulous food, and you're bound to be satisfied with over 20 choices of eateries – and there are no set menus or enforced meal times here. Whether you want a healthy snack at 6am or a midnight feast, the crew will cater for you.
First up, there’s Razzle Dazzle, where you’ll discover your inner vegan. Or, try the gloriously opulent Pink Agave, serving Mexican fusion with all the trimmings.
And wait, what’s this? Street food onboard a ship? At the Galley, you’ll find eight different food stalls selling everything from tacos to sushi, burgers to bento boxes and noodles.
When it comes to down time, Virgin Voyages have made sure that all their cabins maintain that gloriously indulgent comfort you’ll find all over their ships. Tom Dixon’s had a hand here too, designing the RockStar suites with flair and individuality, but with absolutely no compromise on comfort. All of the RockStar suites are on Deck 15, just under Richard’s Rooftop (RockStar VIPs get exclusive access to the club).
Book a RockStar suite and you get a host of VIP extras including airport transfers, luggage assistance and a private walk down the terminal pathway on arrival, as well as anytime boarding and early booking for special events. If you want to feel like a real rock star, this is your chance.
There’s a concept at Virgin Voyages – Vitamin Sea. There’s nothing quite like the ocean to restore that inner wellness we all crave, so onboard you’ll get the time to re-energise with some state-of-the-art activities.
Expect a Virgin-style makeover to cruise spa & fitness programming. Whether Sailors are into high-intensity workouts, deep breaths in search of nirvana, or if they are that person that pays for a gym membership but never uses it - Virgin Voyages provide spaces to cater for themselves in whichever way works best for them.
