After sailing multiple Virgin Voyages itineraries ourselves, we've become big fans of what Virgin is doing differently. The adults-only atmosphere, included specialty dining, modern ships, and unique itineraries create a cruise experience that feels more like a boutique resort at sea than a traditional cruise.
We've personally sailed two Caribbean itineraries and one Mediterranean itinerary, and while each offered something different, all three left us wanting to book another voyage.
Eastern Caribbean: A Perfect Introduction to Virgin Voyages
If you're considering your first Virgin Voyages cruise, an Eastern Caribbean itinerary is an excellent place to start.
What we loved most was the balance between relaxing sea days and beautiful island destinations. Virgin's ships are destinations in themselves, with dozens of dining venues, live entertainment, fitness classes, and inviting outdoor spaces. Having enough time onboard to enjoy the ship is part of the experience.
The Caribbean's turquoise water, warm weather, and laid-back atmosphere pair perfectly with Virgin's relaxed style. Unlike many traditional cruise lines, there are no formal nights, no buffets, and no pressure to follow a rigid schedule.
For travelers looking for a fun, easy-going tropical escape, Eastern Caribbean itineraries are hard to beat.
Southern Caribbean: Our Favorite for Island Lovers
For travelers who want to maximize destination time, Southern Caribbean sailings are among the best itineraries Virgin offers.
We loved the variety of islands, each with its own culture, scenery, and personality. Southern Caribbean itineraries often include destinations that many travelers haven't previously visited, making the voyage feel more adventurous and unique.
These itineraries are ideal for travelers who enjoy exploring ports, trying local cuisine, snorkeling, diving, or simply discovering new places beyond the typical cruise destinations.
If someone asks us which Caribbean itinerary offers the most memorable collection of islands, Southern Caribbean is usually our recommendation.
Mediterranean Sailings: Europe Made Easy
Our Mediterranean Virgin Voyages sailing delivered a completely different experience.
One of the biggest advantages of cruising the Mediterranean is waking up in a new destination almost every day. Instead of packing, unpacking, changing hotels, and navigating trains or airports, your floating hotel travels with you.
We loved being able to experience multiple countries and cultures during a single trip while still returning each evening to the comfort of the ship.
The Mediterranean itineraries are especially appealing to travelers who want to combine history, culture, incredible food, and stunning coastal scenery into one vacation.
Why We Keep Choosing Virgin Voyages
What continues to impress us about Virgin Voyages is how much is included. Specialty dining, Wi-Fi, gratuities, fitness classes, and entertainment are all part of the experience, making it easier to budget and enjoy your vacation.
The adults-only environment also creates a unique atmosphere that appeals to couples, friends traveling together, solo travelers, and anyone looking for a more sophisticated cruise experience.
Whether you're dreaming of Caribbean beaches or Mediterranean coastlines, Virgin Voyages offers some of the most enjoyable itineraries we've experienced. Having sailed both regions ourselves, we can help you choose the itinerary, cabin category, and sailing that best matches your travel style.
