Over the past week, we’ve been spreading the love and giving you five irresistible reasons to fall for Virgin Voyages. Now that Valentine’s Day has arrived, and because we love a good love story (and our Sailors and First Mates), we’ve saved our final reveal so you can start planning theirs.

Reason #5: Fall in love with new 2026-2027 itineraries
From hypnotic waves to watercolor sunsets, the Caribbean is as close to perfection as a vacation gets. So you get to experience real “I’m in my rom com era” moments, we’re releasing new Caribbean 2026-2027 itineraries so that your Sailors can secure the best cabins, suites, and deals by booking early.
New destinations and refreshed faves
It’s never too early to plan their exciting getaway, especially when that looks like visiting breathtaking waterfalls in Jamaica, or hidden coves in Grand Cayman — our latest destinations to discover out of Miami on Scarlet Lady’s new 5-night voyages, or on Resilient Lady’s new 7-night itineraries. We’ve also updated our San Juan sailings, giving your Sailors more opportunities to explore the Virgin Islands (including our new St. Thomas port), St. Kitts, and more of the Eastern Caribbean on Valiant Lady’s refreshed 6, 7, and 8-night itineraries.
Save the date for our new Panama Canal itinerary
If your Sailors missed out on last year’s ultimate itinerary release, it’s almost time to book our new Panama Canal to Miami voyage. After our first Panama Canal voyage sold out in record time — becoming our fastest selling itinerary — we’re releasing this limited 17-night one-way early. With additional stops in Cabo San Lucas, Panama City, and Cartagena, make sure to secure this voyage of a lifetime and not miss the ship (again).
As a not-so-subtle reminder, we just launched our new Groups & Circles Program so your Sailors can celebrate with their whole crew. Think a 21st to 71st birthday bash, graduation getaway, college reunion, or even a joint bachelor-bachelorette weekend cruise to Key West and the Beach Club at Bimini. With our new Thursday to Sunday 4-night weekenders, now’s the time to start planning — and earning an extra 10% when you add pre-voyage bookables.
With new 2026-2027 cruises out now, check out the latest voyages that will sweep their breath away (and offer the biggest savings by booking early), and keep your eyes out for new Brilliant Lady itineraries coming soon, beginning with the Panama Canal available on February 21st.

Reason #4: Fall in love with themed voyages
What’s better than a voyage? One that’s perfectly crafted to match your Sailors’ vibe. Our Specialty Cruises bring bold themes, unforgettable experiences, and a whole lot of fun to the high seas — making every moment a story worth sharing.
Have Sailors who love a good laugh? Tell them about the UK Comedy Fest with Jack Whitehall, where Britain’s comedy king delivers razor-sharp wit, side-splitting humor, and a lineup of hilarious talent. Got someone feeling festive? Highlight our Halloween voyage for spooky season chills, or the chance to toast to holiday magic during a winter getaway. And for your foodie Sailors? The Eat & Drink Festival serves up indulgent culinary delights that will make their taste buds swoon.
Sailing solo? Perfect. Bringing their besties? Even better. Traveling with family or someone special? These one-of-a-kind voyages will help them create unforgettable memories no matter who’s by their side. Seriously, these themed sailings are next-level adventures — with belly laughs, bold flavors, spooky chills, and festive thrills that they’ll love.
Now, here’s a Fresh First Mate Tip: These specialty sailings fill up fast, so encourage your Sailors to book as soon as they spot the one that gives them butterflies in their stomachs.

Reason #3: Fall in love with new entertainment
With Brilliant Lady’s inaugural season taking center stage, we’re bringing bold new shows, electrifying performances, and unforgettable moments your Sailors won’t want to miss.
At the center of it all is a brand-new spectacle featuring legendary hits from Virgin Records artists, breathtaking choreography, and rare video gems from the archives. It’s high-energy, visually stunning, and pure Virgin from start to finish.
And that’s just the beginning. Alongside Brilliant Lady’s dazzling debut, Valiant Lady is shaking up her entertainment lineup this March with the high-energy, Latin-inspired Club Caliente and a new residency from the internationally acclaimed a cappella group, The Magnets.
Why wait to get your Sailors on board? March is just weeks away, and Valiant Lady’s short Caribbean escapes make it easy for them to experience it all firsthand while soaking up the sun.
Speaking of exciting updates, even more thrilling performances are on the way. Next month is shaping up to be a big one — so keep your eyes peeled for the full lineup reveal in March, and get your Sailors ready for what’s ahead.

Reason #2: Fall for bold new flavors
They say the way to the heart is through the stomach — and we couldn’t agree more. That’s why our award-winning dining experience just got a delicious refresh. With exciting new dishes making their debut, every meal is designed to sweep you off your feet — because having the best food at sea means continuing to innovate, surprise, and delight you.
Love Italian Ristorante style
When it comes to falling in love with flavors, embark on a romance for the ages in our Sailor-loved Italian eatery. Beginning in May, Extra Virgin will feature exclusive dishes across our entire fleet, giving Sailors a unique dining experience on each one of our lady ships. Here’s (just) a sneak peek — or taste — of what’s to come.
- Antipasti: Salmon Crudo in a radish, red onion, mandarin sauce (GF)
- Primi: Braised Lamb Girella* + parmesan crisp, rosemary, sherry jus
- Secondi: Young Chicken Cacciatore w/ fennel, olive, pepper, mushrooms
*Before you pull up your digital translator, girella (meaning “spinning top”) is a circular noodle shaped like a corkscrew — aka your new favorite pasta obsession.
Say Cheers! (or Gunbae!) to new Korean BBQ
Our annual Eat & Drink Festival is back for the entire month of July. Showcasing innovative food and wine pairings, multi-course meals, and cooking demos hosted by renowned chefs, these sailings will host the fleet-wide world premiere of Gunbae’s brand-new menu items. Take a look at (some) of the latest dishes.
- Oi Muchim - salted cucumber, avocado, pepper treads (VV)(GF)
- Shrimp Kimbap Rolls - nori crispy rice, black garlic
- Bulgogi Fire Meat - marinated ribeye and onions
A Virgin Voyage is more than just where to go, it’s about how you feel throughout the journey. That’s why our Michelin-starred chef collective whips up innovative culinary creations designed exclusively for our lady ships — ensuring that every meal is as unforgettable as the places our Sailors visit.

Reason #1: Fall in love with sailing together
Whether it’s a family reunion, a birthday bash, or a long-overdue getaway with friends, Virgin Voyages makes group travel as seamless as it is unforgettable. Our lady ships were designed for connection, offering sophisticated spaces to gather and celebrate every moment.
Imagine your Sailors clinking glasses on the deck as the sun sets, or savoring a group dinner expertly prepared by our culinary team. With perks like group discounts, bar tabs, and personalized planning, you’ll make their dream voyage easy to book and impossible to forget.
Because when they sail together, the journey becomes just as special as the destination.
And to make it even sweeter, our Groups Program is packed with perks that make booking a breeze. Groups of 8 or more get 10% off each cabin, up to $300 in Bar Tab per cabin, and an exclusive group dinner at the restaurant of their choice (based on availability). Plus, with price and promo protection, locking in the best rates while finalizing plans is smooth sailing.
