Who should travel

Virgin Voyages is targeting a younger, adult-only consumer, predominantly the millennial market, with its fleet of ships. The minimum sailing age for which is 18 years old.

Aimed at young-at-heart 'sailors' (as Virgin refers to its passengers), unique features include the first tattoo parlour at sea, drag-themed brunches and celebrity DJ acts.

Passengers who enjoy a more traditional style of cruising, or value peace and quiet on their holiday, should look elsewhere. Those who enjoy the buzz of a party lifestyle need look no further.

There is a major focus on wellness, with spas, gyms, yoga, wellness pools and a mudroom on board - so if you are a fitness nut, Virgin Cruises is the one for you.

Valiant Lady commonly sails seven-night Mediterranean sailings out of Barcelona to destinations including France, Italy and Spain. Future plans for incoming members of the Virgin ship fleet also revolve around more of the world's most exotic locations. You are guaranteed stunning locations regardless of ship choice!

Virgin Voyages The Wake

Dining

Virgin Voyages do things differently. There is no traditional cruise buffet on a Virgin cruise holiday. Instead, you can enjoy a selection of chic, unique and delicious restaurants – all included in the cruise fare. From steak and seafood, to elevated Mexican cuisine and 'The Test Kitchen' - offering experimental onboard foods - you won't go hungry.

There's a big emphasis on healthy eating, with dedicated vegetarian restaurants, casual Mediterranean fayre and nutrient-heavy treats available all day.

There are themes to suit all tastes, also including Korean BBQ nights, a 24-hour American diner and passionate dessert bar. We can promise that you'll have withdrawal symptoms after your time onboard.
