I’ve sailed on just about every style of cruise line out there – from the big family ships to the ultra-luxury liners – and I can honestly say that Virgin Voyages is in a league of its own. This isn’t just another cruise; it’s a completely different way to sail.

Designed for Grown-Ups

From the moment I stepped aboard Resilient Lady, I knew this was different. Every space feels like it’s been designed by someone who actually gets it – sleek, artistic, and stylish with zero cheesy décor. This is a ship unapologetically designed for adults who want something unique and totally untraditional.

The RockStar Experience

The RockStar Suite elevated everything. Boutique hotel luxury with private lounges, rooftop access, and that genius shake-for-Moët app that delivers champagne wherever you are, whenever you want it.

Entertainment That Breaks the Mold

The entertainment is immersive and unapologetically edgy. Drag queen brunches, acrobatic performances, world-class DJs, and surprise pop-up shows. When night falls, this ship transforms into a high-end party that honestly made me feel like I was in my twenties again – but with significantly better taste.

Culinary Excellence

With over 20 restaurants included in the fare, the dining is extraordinary. Korean BBQ at Gunbae, fresh sushi, Spanish tapas, innovative plant-based cuisine – it’s all there. Tips, WiFi, essential drinks, and fitness classes are all included. No nickel-and-diming.

Why I’m Sailing Again

After decades in the travel industry, it’s rare that a cruise line genuinely surprises me. Virgin Voyages did. There is a special sailing for the Mermaiden launch on Brilliant Lady departing LA in April 2026 which perfectly coincides with Coachella. Places are limited – this is absolutely something you should experience with your best friends.

This is cruising, reimagined. Contact Tracey or I if you would like to know more about our exclusive Virgin Voyages trip in April – you know you deserve it.”Watch this and tell me you can’t see yourself there! https://www.youtube.com/@TheDepartureLoungeTravelCruise
