Virgin Voyages’ latest Caribbean sale is one of its most generous yet. You can take advantage of 80% off the fare for the second guest, up to $350 in free drinks and up to $300 in onboard credit on select Caribbean voyages.
The savings alone make this a perfect time to book. But price isn’t everything, and a Virgin Voyages cruise is about so much more. If the offer has caught your eye but you’re still weighing things up, here are five reasons – other than the current sale – to book a Caribbean cruise with Virgin Voyages now.
A wide range of options
Virgin Voyages’ Caribbean programme is extremely varied, going from short escapes to longer, more immersive journeys.
You can opt for shorter four- and five-night voyages from Miami on Scarlet Lady or Resilient Lady, or board Valiant Lady for a seven-night roundtrip from San Juan that heads into the Eastern Caribbean, with calls at islands including St Lucia, Barbados, Antigua, St Maarten, Dominica and St Kitts.
Longer voyages, such as those on Brilliant Lady, go a step further, weaving in Southern Caribbean ports like Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire and even Colombia – places that go beyond the typical Caribbean circuit.
The Beach Club at Bimini
One of the highlights of many Virgin Voyages Caribbean sailings is a stop at The Beach Club at Bimini in the Bahamas.
The Beach Club at Bimini is designed as a grown-up retreat: lagoon-style pools, palm-lined beaches and spaces for both relaxation and socialising. Music, DJs and live performers help shape the atmosphere, but there’s also abundant room for calm – think hammocks, shaded loungers and SUP-yoga sessions.
Time to explore each island
What many guests love about Virgin Voyages’ sailings to the Caribbean (or any other destinations for that matter) is the pacing. Cruises often feature longer stays in port or late departures, giving you time to explore beyond a quick shore excursion and take in an island’s evening ambience.
Whether that’s a slow walk through colourful streets after lunch, lingering over local food and drinks, or simply sitting by the water as daylight fades, these slower rhythms are part of how the line has structured its Caribbean season.
Ships that are perfect for warm-weather cruising
Virgin Voyages’ ships are particularly well-suited to the Caribbean. Outdoor spaces are generous with plenty of shaded areas. There’s a sense that the ships were designed to promote time in the open air.
The Athletic Club, with its catamaran net, or The Dock, with its scenic ocean views, are perfect places to enjoy a tropical day at sea. Even the Sea Terrace Cabins with their red hammocks are in tune with the spirit of the Caribbean.
Caribbean cruising without the upsell
One of the things about cruising with Virgin Voyages – to the Caribbean and beyond – is how much is already included. Speciality dining, Wi-Fi, group fitness classes, entertainment and essential drinks are all covered in the fare. You’re not constantly weighing up whether to book another class, attend a show or try another restaurant; it’s all part of the rhythm of the voyage.
If you want to know what your holiday will cost before you board, that clarity is a genuine advantage.
