Fall in love with Virgin Voyages!

Over the past week, we’ve been spreading the love and giving you five irresistible reasons to fall for Virgin Voyages. Now that Valentine’s Day has arrived, and because we love a good love story (and our Sailors), we’ve saved our final reveal so you can start planning yours.

Fall in love with Virgin Voyages!

Reason #5: Fall in love with new 2026-2027 itineraries

From hypnotic waves to watercolor sunsets, the Caribbean is as close to perfection as a vacation gets. So you get to experience real “I’m in my rom com era” moments, we’re releasing new Caribbean 2026-2027 itineraries so that you can secure the best cabins, suites, and deals by booking early.

New destinations and refreshed faves

It’s never too early to plan an exciting getaway, especially when that looks like visiting breathtaking waterfalls in Jamaica, or hidden coves in Grand Cayman — our latest destinations to discover out of Miami on Scarlet Lady’s new 5-night voyages, or on Resilient Lady’s new 7-night itineraries. We’ve also updated our San Juan sailings, giving you more opportunities to explore the Virgin Islands (including our new St. Thomas port), St. Kitts, and more of the Eastern Caribbean on Valiant Lady’s refreshed 6, 7, and 8-night itineraries.

Save the date for our new Panama Canal itinerary

If you missed out on last year’s ultimate itinerary release, it’s almost time to book our new Panama Canal to Miami voyage. After our first Panama Canal voyage sold out in record time — becoming our fastest-selling itinerary — we’re releasing this limited 17-night one-way early on 2/21. With additional stops in Cabo San Lucas, Panama City, and Cartagena, make sure to secure this voyage of a lifetime and not miss the ship (again).

As a not-so-subtle reminder, we just launched our new Groups Program so you can celebrate with your whole crew. Think a 21st to 71st birthday bash, graduation getaway, college reunion, or even a joint bachelor-bachelorette weekend cruise to Key West and the Beach Club at Bimini. With our new Thursday to Sunday 4-night weekenders, now’s the time to start planning. 

With new 2026-2027 cruises on Scarlet Lady, Valiant Lady, and Resilient Lady out now, check out the latest voyages (with the biggest savings) that’ll sweep your breath away, and keep your eyes out for even more Brilliant Lady voyages, beginning with the Panama Canal available on February 21st.

Reason #4: Fall in love with themed voyages

What’s better than a voyage? One that’s perfectly crafted to match your vibe. Our Specialty Cruises bring bold themes, unforgettable experiences, and a whole lot of fun to the high seas — making every moment a story worth sharing.

Love a good laugh? Set sail on the UK Comedy Fest with Jack Whitehall, where Britain’s comedy king delivers razor-sharp wit, side-splitting humor, and a lineup of hilarious talent. Feeling festive? Celebrate spooky season on our Halloween voyage, or toast to the holiday spirit during an unforgettable winter getaway. And for the foodies? The Eat & Drink Festival serves up indulgent culinary delights guaranteed to make your taste buds swoon.

Sailing solo? Perfect. Bringing your besties? Even better. Traveling with family or someone special? You’ll create unforgettable memories no matter who’s by your side. These one-of-a-kind voyages take your adventure to the next level — with belly laughs, bold flavors, spooky chills, and festive thrills.

Now, here’s a Savvy Sailor Tip: These specialty sailings fill up fast, so don’t wait. Book your spot as soon as you find a themed voyage that gives you butterflies in your stomach.

Reason #3: Fall in love with new entertainment

With Brilliant Lady’s inaugural season taking center stage, we’re debuting bold new shows, electrifying performances, and unforgettable moments that will have you on your feet.

At the center of it all is a brand-new spectacle packed with legendary hits from Virgin Records artists, breathtaking choreography, and rare video gems from the archives. It’s bold, high-energy, and designed to celebrate everything that makes Virgin, well... Virgin.

And that’s just the beginning. Alongside Brilliant Lady’s dazzling debut, Valiant Lady is shaking up her entertainment lineup this March with the high-energy, Latin-inspired Club Caliente and a new residency from the internationally acclaimed a cappella group, The Magnets.

Why wait to experience it all firsthand? March is just weeks away, and Valiant Lady offers incredible short Caribbean escapes — perfect for catching these new shows while soaking up the sun.

Speaking of exciting updates, even more thrilling performances are on the way. Next month is shaping up to be a big one — keep your eyes peeled for the full lineup reveal in March, and be sure to sign up for our emails so you don’t miss a thing!

Every night onboard brings something unexpected. So grab a cocktail, sing your heart out, and get ready to dance under the stars… because these are the nights you’ll be talking about long after you’ve stepped back on land.

Reason #2: Fall in love with bold new flavors and delicious new menus

They say the way to the heart is through the stomach — and we couldn’t agree more. That’s why our award-winning dining experience just got a delicious refresh. With exciting new dishes making their debut, every meal is designed to sweep you off your feet — because having the best food at sea means continuing to innovate, surprise, and delight you.

Love Italian Ristorante style

When it comes to falling in love with flavors, embark on a romance for the ages in our Sailor-loved Italian eatery. Beginning in May, Extra Virgin will feature exclusive dishes across our entire fleet, giving Sailors a unique dining experience on each one of our lady ships. Here’s (just) a sneak peek — or taste — of what’s to come.

  • Antipasti: Salmon Crudo in a radish, red onion, mandarin sauce (GF)
  • Primi: Braised Lamb Girella* + parmesan crisp, rosemary, sherry jus
  • Secondi: Young Chicken Cacciatore w/ fennel, olive, pepper, mushrooms 

*Before you pull up your digital translator, girella (meaning “spinning top”) is a circular noodle shaped like a corkscrew — aka your new favorite pasta obsession. 

Say Cheers! (or Gunbae!) to new Korean BBQ

Our annual Eat & Drink Festival is back for the entire month of July. Showcasing innovative food and wine pairings, multi-course meals, and cooking demos hosted by renowned chefs, these sailings will host the fleet-wide world premiere of Gunbae’s brand-new menu items. Take a look at (some) of the latest dishes.

  • Oi Muchim - salted cucumber, avocado, pepper treads (VV)(GF)
  • Shrimp Kimbap Rolls - nori crispy rice, black garlic
  • Bulgogi Fire Meat - marinated ribeye and onions 

A Virgin Voyage is more than just where to go, it’s about how you feel throughout the journey. That’s why our Michelin-starred chef collective whips up innovative culinary creations designed exclusively for our lady ships — ensuring that every meal is as unforgettable as the places our Sailors visit.

Reason #1: Fall in love with sailing together

There’s nothing quite like exploring the open sea with the people you care about most. Whether it’s a romantic escape, a long-overdue reunion with friends, or an unforgettable family getaway, our lady ships were (literally) designed to make every moment together feel extraordinary.

Just imagine yourself clinking glasses with your besties as the sun sets over the horizon, or gathering your family around an intimate dinner where every detail has been expertly prepared by our culinary team. From group discounts to exclusive perks, we make celebrating connection effortless — whatever that looks like to you. Because when you sail together, the journey becomes just as special as the destination.

And to make it even sweeter, our Groups Program comes packed with perks. Groups of 8 or more get 10% off each cabin, up to $300 in Bar Tab per cabin, and an exclusive group dinner at the restaurant of their choice (based on availability). Plus, with price and promo protection, locking in the best rates while finalizing plans is smooth sailing. 

And that’s why, with us, the more the merrier.
