Is Virgin Voyages a high-end cruise?

Yes — Virgin Voyages is generally considered a premium, stylish cruise experience. The line deliberately positions itself as more modern and upscale than many mainstream cruise brands, focusing on design-forward ships, high-quality dining by Michelin-starred chefs, sophisticated entertainment, and thoughtful guest experiences. Their “Always Included Luxury” concept aims to offer more value than traditional lines by bundling many extras into the base fare

Do you get free drinks on Virgin cruises?

Some drinks are included, but alcoholic drinks typically are not “free” in the way a classic open bar works. Included with your cruise fare: basic beverages like filtered water, sodas, fruit juices, tea and drip coffee are included at no extra charge. Alcohol and premium drinks: these are charged separately, but Virgin uses a Bar Tab system where you can pre-purchase credit (sometimes with bonus extra credit) to spend on spirits, cocktails, wines, specialty coffees, juices etc. So, while some drinks are included, most alcoholic or premium beverages cost extra unless you have a special promotional credit or an upgraded cabin with perks.

Is Virgin Voyages for adults only?

Yes. All Virgin Voyages cruises are strictly adults-only (generally 18+; some ship areas or offers might specify 21+ for alcohol access). This means no children or minors are permitted onboard, creating a grown-up, social atmosphere focused on adult leisure, nightlife, dining, wellness, and entertainment.

Is Virgin Voyages really all-inclusive?

Not fully, in the traditional “all-inclusive” sense, but it is very inclusive compared with many other cruise lines. Included in your base fare are all dining at 20+ onboard restaurants (no buffet or extra specialty dining charges), free Wi-Fi, entertainment, fitness classes and basic drinks, all gratuities and service charges (meaning no added automatic tips). However, alcoholic drinks, excursions (shore activities), spa treatments, premium coffees, certain cabin upgrades, and some special services are not covered automatically. So while Virgin Voyages feels more “inclusive” than many cruiselines, it is not truly 100% all-inclusive unless you purchase additional packages or book higher-end suites that include more perks.

Fly with Virgin Atlantic to Miami to set sail from Terminal V at PortMiami!

Caribbean Virgin Voyages cruises primarily depart from Terminal V at PortMiami, Virgin Voyages’ very own state-of-the-art cruise terminal. From here, you can set sail on unforgettable itineraries through the Caribbean, many of which include a stop at The Beach Club at Bimini - Virgin Voyages’ exclusive private beach retreat in the Bahamas. Bimini is a standout highlight, offering crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, DJ-led pool parties, complimentary dining, beach cabanas, and a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere that perfectly reflects the Virgin Voyages brand.

When you book with Charter Travel, your Virgin Voyages cruise can be arranged as a flight-inclusive package, making your holiday seamless from start to finish.

We can also arrange flights with British Airways, United Airlines, or Delta Airlines, as well as hotel stays, transfers, and car hire - all in one convenient booking.

Miami is the beating heart of Virgin Voyages, and many travellers choose to extend their holiday either before or after their cruise.

A cruise-and-stay holiday allows you to experience even more of Florida alongside your Virgin Voyages sailing.

Virgin Voyages also offers an exciting selection of European and UK cruises, including sailings departing from Portsmouth. These UK cruises are ideal for travellers looking to experience the Virgin Voyages lifestyle closer to home, without the need for long-haul flights.

From upscale steakhouses and Italian trattorias to Korean BBQ, Mexican street food, and elegant brunch spots, every meal is designed to impress - all without additional dining charges.

Entertainment onboard is equally impressive. Expect immersive theatre-style shows, live music, pop-up performances, wellness classes, and even a two-storey nightclub.
