Accessibility
Are there wheelchair-accessible cabins?
Sailors who use mobility devices should book directly into an accessible cabin during the booking process to guarantee the cabin category of your choosing.

I’m a Sailor with a disability who has booked an upcoming voyage. If I require an accommodation or other type of assistance, is there anything I should be doing in advance?

Are there cabins for Sailors with disabilities or requiring the use of mobility devices?
A Sailor or their First Mate should complete our Accessibility and Medical Request Form to allow our Accessibility Team to understand your needs and explore reasonable accommodations. Please make every effort to complete the Form at least 45 days in advance of your voyage date. If you are unable to complete the form give our Accessibility Team a call at (954) 372-3721 Monday-Friday 8:00 AM -6:00 PM EST or send them an email at accessibility@virginvoyages.com.

Are you able to accommodate my dietary requests and/or food allergies?
While we take precautions to minimize cross-contamination, Virgin Voyages is not an allergen-free environment and there is always a possibility of exposure.
Please note, we do not have allergen-free kitchens and do not offer Halal or Kosher dining options.
Are there special services I can request to assist with my medical condition?

Am I allowed to bring my service animal on my voyage?
While in public areas, service dogs must be on a leash, harness, or other restraining device. Due to health regulations, service dogs are not permitted in pools, whirlpools, or spas. Care and supervision of the service dog is the sole responsibility of the owner. Our ships will not provide food or care for the dog but will provide designated service animal relief stations onboard that can be set up on Deck 7. Service dogs may not be left unattended in the cabin.
Virgin Voyages reserves the right to remove or exclude a service animal if it is out of control and its handler does not take effective action to control it, it is not housebroken, it poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, or it is disruptive while on board. Damage to cabins or our ship caused by a service dog will be charged to the handler/occupant's account.
For more information on service dogs in the United States, we invite you to visit the U.S. Department of Justice Service Animal FAQs.

I need to bring oxygen on board. What are the procedures?
Sailors are permitted to bring oxygen cylinders and equipment on board within the following guidelines:
Sailors must make independent arrangements for the rental, delivery, and return of any oxygen cylinders and related medical equipment. Only 2 cylinders per cabin may be personally hand carried aboard by Sailors. All other quantities must be delivered. Stevedores at the port terminal are unable to coordinate the transfer of oxygen cylinders.
Due to safety concerns and storage limitations, liquid oxygen or large cylinder systems (greater than 680 liters or E / M-24 size) are not permitted, and the types and quantities of oxygen cylinders allowed on board may be limited.
Sailors bringing more than one cylinder must make their own arrangements for transportation to the cruise terminal.
To coordinate an oxygen rental, contact your medical provider who can assist with finding the appropriate rental provider.

Didn't request in advance? Distilled water may still be available onboard for a minimal charge per gallon, though availability isn't guaranteed. Contact our Sailor Services Crew on Deck 5 to arrange it.
What should I expect when dining onboard with allergies?
While many dishes are prepared to order, some components (such as sauces and dressings) are made in advance and cannot be modified.
We offer a variety of ingredients and alternatives; however, availability may vary as some items are sourced locally depending on where the ship is sailing. You can also explore dining options ahead of your voyage by reviewing menus on our cruise dining website.
