Virgin Voyages' Brilliant Lady, the fleet's newest adults-only ship, in port

Virgin Voyages

Adults-only, rebellious, and unmistakably Virgin

Virgin Voyages ditches kids' clubs, buffets, and formal nights in favour of an adults-only, all-included, design-forward experience with tattoo parlours, wellness studios, and a genuinely different onboard culture.

About Virgin Voyages

Founded 2020 · Adults-only, all-included, design-forward rebel cruising

Virgin Voyages is the newest major line in the market, launched by Richard Branson's Virgin Group with an explicitly adults-only, all-included model built for a younger, design-conscious traveler. There are no kids' clubs, no formal nights, and no traditional buffet — every convention of mainstream cruising was deliberately reconsidered.

Founded in 2020 with its first sailing in 2021, Virgin's fleet — Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, Resilient Lady, and Brilliant Lady — shares a single consistent design language: bold, art-filled interiors, a tattoo parlor, a running track, and a wellness studio alongside more traditional cruise amenities.

The "all-included" fare covers gratuities, group fitness classes, and basic Wi-Fi — a genuinely different value proposition from mainstream lines' base fares — while specialty dining (there's no extra charge for any restaurant, though some carry a small reservation fee) and drinks are priced separately or bundled into add-on packages.
