Four Essential Tips for Virgin Voyages

1. Selecting the Right Cabin

Virgin Voyages offers a range of cabins, from the snug Insider cabin to Sea Terrace cabins with balconies. For those looking to indulge in luxury, the RockStar Suites are perfect, complete with added perks like private transfers and an in-room bar.

One of the standout features of Virgin Voyages is the hammock on every Sea Terrace. When selecting your cabin, consider the view to maximize this unique feature. For a smooth sailing experience, all cabins are designed to minimize motion. However, if you're particularly sensitive, choosing a mid-ship cabin on a lower deck can help.

2. Understanding What's Included

Unlike many cruise lines, Virgin Voyages prides itself on an all-inclusive approach with a twist, eliminating worries about hidden fees. No need to budget for daily gratuities; Virgin Voyages covers these. Stay connected with included Wi-Fi, and enjoy a wide array of eateries without additional charges. Basic beverages like soda, tea, coffee, and filtered water are also covered. And pack your workout gear! Virgin Voyages includes group fitness classes in your fare.

3. Packing the Essentials

"Dress to Impress" is the code onboard. While there are no formal nights, Virgin Voyages encourages "smart casual" attire. Bringing a reusable water bottle and coffee cup is also recommended as the cruise line is big on sustainability. With a tech-forward approach, be sure to pack USB charging cables, a portable charger, and download the Virgin Voyages app for access to all ship features and to manage your account.

4. Insider Tips

Shake for Champagne™ is a unique feature offered by Virgin Voyages. Simply shake your phone using the app and order a bottle of champagne anywhere on the ship. The Beach Club at Bimini, Virgin Voyages’ exclusive beach club in the Bahamas, is a must-visit. Pack beachwear and prepare for both relaxation and high-energy DJ sets. Embrace the spirit of adventure with a tattoo from Squid Ink, the first tattoo studio at sea. Consider booking in advance to secure your spot.
