Then, when the sun starts to set the party really starts with glamorous pool parties in the lagoon beach club hosted by a DJ playing hit after hit.

Virgin Voyages have developed the concept they are calling ‘Vitamin Sea’, whereby they believe your cruise should focus on ‘detox and retox’. This means you focus both on feeling rejuvenated and recovering from the stresses of life during your time aboard, while perfectly balancing this with letting your hair down and blowing off steam. Facilities include:

• B-Complex Gym- everything you need for the perfect workout session or fitness class.
• The Athletic Club- including boxing classes, a basketball court and cold-press juice bar, challenge friends to a game of something before sipping on a refreshing drink.
• The Runway- go at your own pace around the jogging track as you take in the stunning views.
• Redemption- learn what it really means to be pampered at the onboard spa.
• Squid Ink- an industry first, Virgin cruise ships boast a tattoo parlour so that guests really can make this a holiday to remember.

Sporting a mermaid on the bow in the same way Virgin Atlantic planes are emblazoned with a 1940s-style pin-up girl waving a union jack, Virgin Voyages’ cruise ships are designed for a new generation of cruisers, with the following philosophies:

• Adult by design - with drag acts, brunches and late-night dining, a Virgin Voyage is the perfect opportunity to let go, relax, and rejuvenate for adults only.
• All-inclusive - enjoy some of the best food with no added charges.
• Foodies’ paradise - no buffet and over 20 free dining venues to choose from.
• Eco-friendly - no single-use plastics, no food waste and hybrid, recycled power sources.

• Fitness fans - whether you’re lounging by the pool, going for a morning stroll around the ship or dining in one of the restaurants, Virgin Voyages’ ships are full of workout equipment and fitness sessions to take advantage of.
• No formal wear - there are no stuffy dinners or formal nights with Virgin Voyages.
