Always included Luxury Cruise Amenities
While all cruises aren’t all-inclusive, Virgin Voyages offers one of the most inclusive cruise experiences on the high seas.


  • Cruise Amenities: Enjoy world-class dining, stunning cabins, and top-tier entertainment aboard a state-of-the-art Virgin Voyages ship.

  • Luxury Accommodations: Relax and recharge in style with accommodations that provide maximum comfort and sophistication.

  • Award-winning dining:
    20+ eateries with menus curated by Michelin Chefs.
    When we say “included,” we mean it. From comfort go-to’s to experimental cuisine, elaborate brunches to Korean BBQ, all our specialty eateries are on us — no hidden tax, no pesky disclaimer, no crowded buffets or designated dining times. Plus, all our food is sustainably sourced, made fresh-to-order, and always tasty. Go ahead, snap that pic (you know you want to) — because we’re picking up the bill.

  • All Soft Drinks: Hydration is key — especially in a sun-soaked, adventure-filled, energy-buzzing holiday at sea. Start your day with a drip-coffee, quench your post-workout thirst with still and sparkling water, get a non-pressed juice by the pool, or find the perfect soda and end your day in paradise with your favorite bedtime tea.

  • Gratuities: Virgin Voyages' Crew is knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly stylish — but mainly, our Crew is genuinely happy to help you make your vacation one of a kind. So get pampered, taste everything, and enjoy a drink (or two), knowing that all tips are covered. Cheers to that.

  • WiFi: Browse and post anywhere on the ship.

  • Entertainment: Like nothing ever experienced at sea. Music is in Virgin Voyage's DNA, thanks to Virgin Music.
    With a festival-like lineup featuring original, first-to-sea productions, extraordinary pop-up acts, and immersive experiences, the entertainment you’ll experience on board is something you’ve never seen before. It’s wild. It’s thought-provoking. It’s a full-on extravaganza. And it couldn’t be anything else. Digging deep into our musical roots, we’ve collaborated with the world’s most-talked-about directors, choreographers, and artists to create the live entertainment only a Virgin brand could.

Warning: The food content depicted may cause increased appetite and intense desire to sail with us. Viewer discretion is advised.
  • Culinary Delights: Savor chef-prepared meals that balance indulgence with nutrition, featuring traditional Mediterranean dishes made with fresh, local ingredients.

  • Virgin Voyages did away with buffets and charging extra for specialty dining to instead feature 20+ eateries with Michelin-starred chef-curated menus on every voyage.

    From Pink Agave’s red-hot Mexico City fare to Gunbae’s first-to-sea Korean BBQ, Virgin Voyages features delicious cuisine in six sit-down restaurants — plus homemade ice cream, late-night pizza, and freshly made grab-n-go options in The Galley.

    And if you love to get dressed up or prefer to keep it casual — as long as you wear shoes (and more than a bathing suit), all dining doors are open to everyone.

Gunbae
LIVELY KOREAN BBQ

If you're into hands-on meat grilling and soju drinking, our Korean BBQ is *the* perfect spot to do all that. Every meal at Gunbae begins with a Korean drinking game that includes a complimentary shot of soju. And since we all have that one friend who insists on being the meat master, this is the time to roast the master while the master roasts the meat. GUNBAE!

Extra Virgin
IRRESISTIBLY ITALIAN

From shared antipasti to fresh pasta, in a culinary experience as rich in culture as it is in flavor. Try the grilled meats, taste the seafood, then get some homemade gelato from the Affogato cart. Top it off with a traditional Italian aperitivo to help get your night started... or a digestivo to make it complete.

Razzle Dazzle
The go-to option for cool and casual dining & veggie-conscious dishes

Boasting a bold interior and a daring new dinner menu, this happening spot offers our creative twist on some classic American comfort go-to’s. Razzle Dazzle strikes a culinary sweet spot between balance and decadence, with a menu that skews partly toward veggie-conscious dishes, and partly toward meats, sweets, and gluttonous treats.

Veggie-conscious menus are available throughout Virgin Voyages' 20+ eateries.

Pink Agave
UPSCALE MEXICAN

Inspired by Mexico’s red-hot culture and sexy food scene, the experience at Pink Agave goes far beyond the usual taco. Shareable, social, and spicy — it transports you to the vibrant streets of Mexico City on an immersive odyssey of local cuisine. With the largest selection of tequila and mezcal at sea, and DJ beats to amp up the energy, we won’t judge if you order one of everything… and end up dancing on tables by the end of the night.

The Wake
STEAK & SEAFOOD

The Wake brings a modern twist to the classic chophouses of the mid-20th century. Once you've made your way down the grand staircase, you'll enter a world that harks back to the old steakhouse, three-martini-lunch days of Madison Avenue ad men. But, thankfully, with gender equality now and, you know, no cigar smoke.

The Test Kitchen
Award-winning dining, with menus curated by Michelin-starred chefs.
  • Stepping into the Test Kitchen, you are welcomed by a laboratory-inspired ambiance highlighted by metal tables and chrome accents. This contemporary and polished environment sets the stage for a dining experience that is both fresh and surprising, promising a meal that is far from typical.

  • Inspired by Escoffier's Ma Cuisine, it's evolving, chef-driven tasting menus are presented as an ingredient list — but the cooking techniques, presentation, and flavors are explored in ways you've never seen. With innovative and experiential classes like Mixology and coffee labs, you’ll try different methods and components for unique results.

A peek at what's in store for you during our Wellness, Food & Wine Sweat Vacay@Sea.

Ahoy, the Weather is fabulous
Breezy, and the water is blue, *our new favorite color.

Mykonos is an idyllic island in the Aegean Sea, southeast of Greece. It is part of the Cyclades islands between Greece and Turkey.


The Mykonos weather in August sees temperatures around 30°C/86 F during the day, and there’s a good chance you’ll have clear skies every day and no rain as you relax around the beaches. With its mix of exciting nightlife and rich local history, Mykonos makes the ideal summer getaway.


The weather in Mykonos in August is superb, with very low to no humidity.
Mykonos is breezy, thanks to the breezes from the Meltemi winds sweeping in from the north.


*Virgin Voyage's favorite color is still Red. ❤️

The Jet-Set Era and the Allure of the Greek Islands
1960s and 1970s the "jet-set" age.

The 1960s and 1970s marked the zenith of the "jet-set" lifestyle—a term that conjures images of private jets, extravagant yachts, and the world’s most exclusive destinations. At the heart of this phenomenon were the Greek islands, a region that was, at the time, becoming synonymous with luxury and escape. Quiet, beautiful, and steeped in ancient history, Greece was already a gem for the European elite. Still, it's Aristotle Onassis and Jackie Onassis who truly put it on the map for Hollywood royalty, international aristocracy, and business moguls alike.

For the jet-set, visiting the Greek islands was more than just about soaking in the sun—it was a declaration of status. Mykonos saw its transformation into one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after destinations, attracting high-profile visitors from across the globe with its traditional stone houses and laid-back atmosphere. It also became a haven for artists and writers.
