The Virgin Voyages Experience
From captivating coasts to laid-back island vibes, the exclusively adult cruise vacation of your dreams is here.
Terminal V at PortMiami
Uniting the energy of Miami with nautical nods to the history of sailing, we’re infusing our own terminal with the same incredible ethos as our ships.
Hassle-free embarkation
Pre-upload your travel docs to the Virgin Voyages app, get Ready to Sail before leaving home, and make boarding a (sea)breeze in just a few minutes.
Late stays and overnights
No more rushing from A to Sea. Our itineraries feature late stays and overnights, so you can explore it all from morning to night (and morning again).
Keeping it local
We’ve teamed up with locals in each of our ports to reveal sides of places you’ve yet to explore — from the people who know the destinations best.
The places you'll go
Miami
From the Wynwood art scene to the world-renowned shores of Miami Beach, the Magic City is a perfect collision of relaxation and cultural exploration.
Puerto Plata
Tucked between the Cordillera Mountains and the Atlantic coast, this charming Dominican port embodies geographical duality at its best.
St. Croix
St. Croix — whose charm is characterised by lush mountains, lively waters, and a rich history where piracy, art, and a mixture of cultures intertwine.
San Juan
Beyond the picturesque beaches and pastel-lined streets, Puerto Rico’s capital is perfectly located to easily access the geographic diversity of this gorgeous island.
All-Inclusive Day at Coconut Cove Beach
Puerto Plata
On an off-roading adventure through the countryside, you’ll arrive at the beach (Coconut Grove) for a relaxing day spent soaking your feet in the warm, blue water with a tropical drink in hand. If you’re ready to pump the adrenaline, take advantage of the kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkeling opportunities included. And for lunch, enjoy authentic Dominican cuisine and grab a drink any time from the domestic open bar.
