CRUISE LINE
Virgin Voyages
Mid-range to higher fares, with more attention to dining and service. Tiers are Cruise Pitta's own grouping, not an official classification.
Virgin Voyages was established in 2014 through a partnership between Virgin Group and Bain Capital and began commercial operations in 2021 as a new adults-only cruise brand. Its ships call at the Bahamas, while the company is headquartered in South Florida. The ships are built by Italy's Fincantieri and have about 110,000 GT, with capacity for about 2,770 guests based on double occupancy, while remaining comparable to large-class ships. All guests must be at least 18, and passengers are called Sailors. Features include specialty restaurants rather than buffet dining, Wi-Fi, and group fitness included in the fare. The daily gratuity, separate from the fare, is US$22 per person per night from October 7, 2025, reduced from US$20 for pre-existing bookings. The dress code is free, with minimalist hotel-like design, drag brunches, immersive shows, and other entertainment. Routes cover the Caribbean and Bahamas, the Mediterranean, Alaska and Northern Europe, and long cruises through South America and the Panama Canal. The fleet is scheduled to reach 4 ships in 2026, with a fifth ship planned through an existing ship refurbishment. Japanese departures and Japanese-language support are not available, making this an overseas English-language cruise for Japanese travelers.
