With kid-free, superyacht-inspired lady ships featuring signature red hammocks on most balconies (exclusive to our brand!) and a focus on offering nothing less than exceptional service, our unique vision of a holiday at sea has been defying your Sailors’ expectations since we first hit the water.
And now that we’ve become the first brand to sweep the entire large ship category for the 2023 Cruise Critic Cruisers’ Choice Awards — winning Best Dining, Best Service, Best Cabins, Best Value-for-Money, and Best Overall Cruise Line — as well as take home Condé Nast Traveler’s Best New Cruises in the World, and for the second year in a row, we were named #1 Best Mega-Ship in Travel + Leisure’s 2024 World’s Best Awards — we’re more overjoyed than ever to exemplify the modern luxury and romance of sailing.
Now is the perfect time to plan your Sailors’ Summer 2025 holiday on the Mediterranean (or to any of our exceptional destinations.) With itineraries that whisk them away to iconic and historic coastal towns — Cannes, Marseille, Corsica, and more — to breathtaking Mediterranean islands like Ibiza, there’s no shortage of adventure to be had. Plus, brand new 2025 sailings include iconic bucket-list destinations to Istanbul, Morocco and Scandinavia.
Leave pre-set dining times and lacklustre buffets to other cruise lines. At Virgin, our made-to-order food from 20+ unique eateries guarantee your Sailors delicious flavours and a remarkable culinary experience. They’ll dine on hanger steak and lemon cheesecake at The Wake, mezze-style bites and glasses of rosé in the open air of The Dock, or get their crew together for a lively Korean BBQ free-for-all at Gunbae— all with views of the waves. No stuffiness, just brilliant service and endless options.
Our elevated and epic itineraries are curated with adults in mind and create a place where the only youthful energy comes from your Sailor’s inner-child running free. All the while, they can expect boutique glamour; our ships combine the luxury of a yacht with the diverse options of a larger ship, with spaces that inspire personal and experiential connection while keeping the sea front and centre. And while a lot of travel companies like to trick you with (extra) low prices in their headlines — nickel and diming your Sailors later — every voyage has Always Included Luxury and provides over $1,000 of value with voyage fare.
Sailors will enjoy dining at our 20+ eateries with menus curated by Michelin star chefs, group fitness classes, WiFi, gratuities, award-winning entertainment, and a soda and drinks package for no extra charge. First Mates (yes, that’s you!) enjoy our Brilliant For You benefits, including 16% commission on voyage fare and 10% on bookables like Bar Tab and Shore Things. We’re proud to have earned a 95% satisfaction score with a 40% on board rebooking rate. Our award-winning support teams are on deck to provide exceptional service to your Sailors and our First Mates throughout their sailing experience. We’ll keep you in the loop with exclusive first hand opportunities, events, and continued learning experiences. We’re committed to raising both sails and sales.
