Virgin Voyages has unveiled a range of new winter sailings to help your customers feel the love
In 2026, the adults-only cruise line will add Panama City and the island of St. Thomas to its growing list of international ports of call.
Winter 2026-2027 also boasts fresh five-night itineraries such as Jamaican Daze & Bimini Breeze to Ocho Rios, along with Cayman Isles & Bimini Beach Miles to Georgetown.
The line has also adjusted the departure schedule of its popular four-night Fire & Sunset Soirees to Key West and Bimini. The cruise will now sail on Thursdays and return Mondays – saving your customers a few extra days of annual leave.
Bookings for the 17-night voyage through the Panama Canal to Miami, meanwhile, will open week commencing 17 February.
The original east-to-west option that went on sale in 2024 was the fastest selling itinerary in Virgin Voyages’ history, so Sailors [guests] are encouraged to mark their calendars and secure their spots soon.
It comes after the line last week announced comedian and actor Jack Whitehall will headline its 2025 Comedy Fest sailing.
The BRIT Awards host and Hollywood star will join the six-night sailing from Portsmouth to La Coruña, Bilbao, and Bordeaux on 30 August.
A new US-based Comedy Festival will also debut this year, which will see a range of comedians perform onboard a five-night voyage return from Miami to Bimini and Costa Maya on 10 August.
If that wasn’t enough, the company further unveiled new menus at onboard eateries Extra Virgin and Gunbae. At Extra Virgin, the ship’s Italian-inspired trattoria, new pastas, arancini, seafood risotto, and roasted monkfish will be added from May.
Gunbae, the only Korean BBQ at sea, will see the addition of shrimp kimbap rolls, bulgogi fire meat, and bossam (whole roasted pork butt with oysters and caviar) from July.
Additional culinary announcements for Brilliant Lady’s inaugural season will be shared over the coming months.
Scarlet Lady’s recent refurbishment – complete with new suites, VIP poolside cabanas and a glamorous new mermaid – also brought the addition of two new shows in the ship’s multi-transformational theatre, an interactive Y2K party and a concert-style It’s a Rock Show-ke.
As group bookings continue to grow in popularity, the line is offering a 10 per cent travel discount, up to $300 in free drinks and a dedicated group dinner at one of Virgin’s six Michelin-inspired restaurants for parties of eight or more.
To take the group voyage to the next level, the brand will soon roll out enhanced welcome amenities including fresh blooms, bubbles (Champagne or prosecco), chocolate and beer buckets to say “bon voyage” in style.
