If you’ve been thinking about trying an adults-only cruise, Virgin Voyages is definitely one to consider. I’ve personally sailed Virgin, and one of the things I like most is that it just feels different from a traditional cruise.
No kids. No big main dining room. No traditional buffet. No formal night where you feel like you have to dress up. Instead, Virgin has a fun, modern, laid-back atmosphere where you can make the trip whatever you want it to be.
Want to stay up late and party? You can. Want to eat a great dinner, relax in your balcony hammock and call it a night? You can do that too!

Virgin does dining differently, and this is one of the biggest reasons I enjoy the cruise line.
Instead of one main dining room, you have 20+ places to eat, with restaurants ranging from Korean BBQ and Italian to steak and seafood. Most of the dining is included in your cruise fare, so you aren't paying an extra specialty-dining fee every night.
And there's no traditional cruise buffet!



Virgin includes quite a bit in the cruise fare:
✨ Dining at over 20 eateries
✨ Basic Wi-Fi
✨ Soda, water, drip coffee and tea
✨ Group fitness classes
✨ Entertainment
Alcohol and some premium drinks cost extra, and Virgin does things a little differently when it comes to drinks — there's no traditional unlimited alcohol package.
One important change: gratuities are no longer included in the standard cruise fare on new bookings, so I make sure to factor those into the total vacation cost when I'm quoting Virgin for my clients.



I especially like Virgin for couples, honeymoons, anniversaries, girls' trips, groups of friends and adults who want to get away without the kids.
And don't think you have to be young or ready to party all night to enjoy it! That's one of the misconceptions I hear about Virgin. You can absolutely have a relaxing vacation onboard.
There are also some fun Virgin touches you won't find on a traditional cruise — like the famous red hammocks on Sea Terrace balconies and Scarlet Night, when the ship comes alive with entertainment, parties and plenty of red outfits.
Virgin isn't just about quick Caribbean cruises anymore.
Depending on the season and itinerary, you can sail to destinations throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas, Mediterranean and Europe, Alaska, and beyond.
You can find everything from a shorter getaway from Miami to a Southern Caribbean cruise from San Juan, a Mediterranean adventure through Italy, Greece, Spain and France, or even an adults-only Alaska cruise.



Virgin Voyages isn't going to be the perfect cruise line for everyone — and that's why I don't believe in recommending the same cruise line to every client.
But if you want adults only, really good food, a more modern atmosphere, fewer traditional cruise rules and something that feels a little different, Virgin may be a great fit.
I've sailed Virgin myself, so I'm happy to share my experience — including what I loved, what I think you should know before booking, and which fare and cabin options make the most sense.
Because finding a great cruise isn't just about finding a good price.
It's about finding the right cruise for YOU.
