The back story
Virgin Voyages·In depth
Virgin’s first cruise line: four adult-only ships designed by hotel and restaurant designers, with no buffet, no fixed dining times and no children.
The fleet
Who it suits. On a budget: A four- or five-night Caribbean voyage from Miami in an Insider or Solo Insider cabin: the eateries, Wi-Fi, essential drinks and fitness classes are already in the fare. Mid-range: A Sea Terrace cabin, with its hand-woven hammock, on a seven-night Mediterranean or Caribbean voyage. Luxury: RockStar Quarters: suites by Tom Dixon with a stocked bar, Richard’s Rooftop, a personal RockStar Agent and, in the Mega RockStar suites, a daily bar tab.
