Forget everything you know – or believe – about cruise holidays. Whether you’re a cruise aficionado or a cruise virgin, tycoon Richard Branson’s Virgin Voyages offers a completely different experience at sea.
Appropriately for a man who first made his mark in the music industry, he has ensured the adults-only Virgin Voyages ships and itineraries are curated to make you feel like an A-list celebrity on a private yacht – think pool parties, champagne receptions, Michelin star-quality food and RockStar suites.
VIP TREATMENT
When you board the ship, you receive a VIP bracelet, which acts as the key to your room, allows you to pay for everything on board and is used when leaving and boarding the ship in port, so you don’t have to carry your passport around.
