Hey there! If you’re dreaming of a cruise that’s a little more sophisticated, completely free from the pitter-patter of little feet, and packed with exceptional food and top-notch entertainment, let me introduce you to Virgin Voyages—it’s honestly one of my favorite recommendations for travelers like you.
Virgin Voyages is an adults-only (18+) experience from start to finish—no kids allowed, which means no chaos around the pools, no early bedtimes disrupting the vibe, and plenty of space to truly unwind and enjoy yourself. It’s designed for grown-ups who want to relax, indulge, and have some fun without any family-friendly compromises. Think of it as an upscale playground at sea, with a modern, yacht-inspired feel that’s fresh, stylish, and anything but stuffy.
One of the biggest standouts is the food. Virgin has ditched the traditional cruise buffets and main dining rooms in favor of more than 20+ included eateries, all curated by Michelin-starred chefs. Whether you’re craving a perfectly seared filet at The Wake (their elegant steakhouse with ocean views), inventive Italian at Extra Virgin, bold Mexican flavors paired with mezcal at Pink Agave, or creative dishes at the Test Kitchen, every meal feels special and elevated. No extra dining packages needed—it’s all part of your voyage fare, and the quality is consistently praised as some of the best at sea.
Then there’s the entertainment—Virgin really shines here with award-winning, festival-like experiences that go way beyond the usual cruise shows. Expect immersive, first-to-sea productions, live music, DJ sets, comedy, pop-up performances, late-night parties, and high-energy events created in collaboration with world-class directors, choreographers, and artists. It’s edgy, thoughtful, and fun—perfect for adults looking for quality nightlife and memorable moments without anything feeling dated or overly family-oriented.
Add in always-included perks like free WiFi, group fitness classes (yoga, HIIT, and more), essential drinks (soda, water, coffee), and it’s clear why Virgin Voyages keeps winning awards as a top cruise line.
Now, if you’re looking to take things up a notch and really pamper yourself, I highly recommend considering an upgrade to the RockStar Quarters (their luxury suites). These aren’t your average cabins—they’re stunning, Tom Dixon-designed spaces with superyacht-level vibes, like marble bathrooms, private terraces with hammocks, and clever, modern touches that make you feel like VIPs.
The benefits of going RockStar are pretty fantastic and make the whole trip feel even more exclusive:
- Priority everything — Early boarding through a dedicated VIP entrance (bypass those lines and start your vacation sooner), plus priority access to book restaurants, shows, excursions, and onboard experiences before anyone else.
- Personalized service — Your own dedicated RockStar Agent available 24/7 to handle any request, big or small.
- Exclusive access — Entry to Richard’s Rooftop, a private sundeck with complimentary drinks during happy hour, stunning views, and that elite-club feeling.
- In-room luxuries — A fully stocked bar (often with the first round complimentary), upgraded amenities, and in some cases, daily bar tabs or bottomless drinks.
- Extra perks (especially in Mega RockStar suites) — Things like premium WiFi, spa access, complimentary parking at certain ports, and more personalized touches.
It’s the perfect way to add that extra layer of indulgence without going overboard—many of my clients say it’s worth it for the seamless, hassle-free experience and the bragging rights of feeling like true rock stars onboard.
As a Virgin Voyages Certified travel advisor (I’m all in on their vibe!), I’d love to help you find the perfect sailing and see if a RockStar upgrade fits your budget and style. Whether it’s a relaxing Caribbean escape, a Mediterranean adventure, or something else, Virgin delivers that slightly upscale, quality-focused getaway you’re after.
