The History of Virgin Voyages
Virgin Voyages is the brainchild of Sir Richard Branson and part of the globally recognized Virgin Group, known for disrupting the status quo in every industry it enters from music to aviation to space travel. In 2014, Branson announced that he would be bringing the Virgin brand to the cruise world. His goal was simple but bold: create a cruise line that would feel like nothing else at sea.
By 2020, after years of design, innovation, and cultural rethinking, Scarlet Ladyâthe first Virgin Voyages ship set sail. Unlike traditional cruises, Scarlet Lady introduced a new kind of voyage: one that celebrated individuality, embraced adults-only luxury, and placed sustainability and inclusivity at its core. Since then, the fleet has grown to include Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady, and Brilliant Lady, each bringing fresh energy, elegance, and edge to the high seas.
Virgin Voyages has won multiple awards for its design, dining, entertainment, and overall guest satisfaction. Today, it continues to challenge the cruise industry’s norms with a commitment to eco-friendly practices, genuine diversity, and a no-nickel-and-diming approach.

Couples love Virgin Voyages for the romance, quiet adults-only pools, beautiful spa experiences, and nightlife made for dancing under the stars.
LGBTQ travelers appreciate the brandâs unwavering support for individuality, its diverse staff, gender-neutral design, and entertainment that celebrates identity and expression.
Seniors feel at ease with the shipâs accessible layout, wellness focus, excellent dining, and the option to relax without the noise and energy of family-focused ships.

- All gratuities
- Wi-Fi
- Dining at over 20 restaurants
- Essential drinks (water, soda, coffee, tea)
- Fitness classes
- Award-winning entertainment

Ships That Feel Like Floating Boutique Hotels
Virgin Voyages ships like Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady are architectural marvels that are sleek, sexy, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. They offer intimate spaces and plenty of lounge areas without the overwhelming sprawl of traditional mega-ships. From the moment you step onboard, you feel like you are in a luxury resort rather than a crowded cruise.
For seniors and guests using mobility aids, Virgin Voyages offers wheelchair-accessible staterooms with wider doorways, roll-in showers, grab bars, lower closet rods, and barrier-free balconies on select cabins. Elevators are spacious and conveniently located, and the ship’s public areas including restaurants, theaters, pool decks, and lounges are designed with flat entryways and wide passageways for easier navigation. There are also dedicated accessible restrooms throughout the ship.
For LGBTQ guests, the energy is welcoming and open-minded, from the gender-neutral restrooms to the inclusive entertainment lineup. Whether you are relaxing in The Dock House, enjoying a spa treatment, or dancing under the stars at The Manor nightclub, these ships have a space that suits your style and support your needs.

Enjoy elevated menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs, from refined Mexican at Pink Agave to vegetarian-forward creations at Razzle Dazzle, to classic steak and seafood at The Wake.
This flexible dining style is perfect for couples looking to mix romance with variety, seniors who appreciate quiet, well-designed venues, and LGBTQ travelers looking for an elevated culinary experience that is free of judgment and full of flavor.

Itineraries Designed Around You

All Caribbean sailings from Miami include a stop at The Beach Club at Bimini, Virginâs private island oasis, where you can snorkel, dance to a beach DJ, or enjoy a quiet cabana. European voyages stop in Ibiza, Mykonos, Dubrovnik, Barcelona, and beyond, blending excitement with relaxation.
Wellness, Self-Care, and Rejuvenation
Wellness is more than a feature on Virgin Voyages it is a way of life. Begin your day with sunrise yoga overlooking the ocean, join a boxing class in the open air, or visit the tranquil Redemption Spa, which features a thermal suite, massage rooms, and a mud room.
Couples can enjoy spa days together. Seniors can access low-impact classes and guided meditations. LGBTQ travelers will appreciate the body-positive culture and inclusive attitude woven into every wellness offering. Whether you are seeking rejuvenation or an active lifestyle, your needs are seen and supported onboard.
Inclusive Entertainment that Breaks the Mold
Virgin Voyages redefines onboard entertainment. You will not find typical cruise musicals hereâinstead, expect drag performances, edgy theater, immersive shows, pop-up acts, and dance parties unlike anything else at sea. This is entertainment that celebrates individuality, challenges the ordinary, and refuses to be predictable.
LGBTQ travelers will feel seen and celebrated in every venue. Seniors who want fun without feeling out of place will enjoy a mix of retro, cabaret, and avant-garde performances. There is something here for every personality and every pace.
