Mediterranean sailingsBarcelona, Athens, Rome, Ibiza, Greece, Italy, and Croatia groups.
Transatlantic sailingsLong repositioning routes and sea-day-heavy sailing communities.
The completely rebuilt Caribbean-inspired menu begins October 12 on Resilient Lady and reaches the rest of the fleet ship by ship.
Scarlet Lady follows October 25, Brilliant Lady November 15, and Valiant Lady April 10, 2027. Virgin also confirms Chef Rashida Holmes' dishes and vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices.
Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Ensenada replace Cabo, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallarta because of Hurricane Rachel and Tropical Storm Simon.
Virgin-booked Shore Things in the removed ports receive automatic full refunds; replacement excursions will appear in the app soon.
The 2026 Readers' Choice result is Virgin's third U.S. win, with separate Hot List and Gold List honors for two Lady Ships.
Brilliant Lady made Condé Nast Traveler's 2026 Hot List, while the refreshed Valiant Lady appears on the 2026 Gold List.
The October 9 terms cover named Caribbean departures booked through October 22 across all four Lady Ships.
Eligible Sea Terrace cabins receive $50-$250; eligible RockStar and Mega RockStar suites receive $300-$500. Base, Essential, and Premium fares qualify, but Lock It In and reduced-rate cabins do not.
Episode 7 closes Virgin's Alaska series with practical details for the ZipRider and Whales & Wild Feast.
Virgin also explains how Huna Tlingit community ownership shapes the port, from the restored cannery to the Warrior Totem Poles.
Virgin's official guide quotes $79 sea-day and $59 port-day thermal-suite passes, with gratuity included.
The spa director also confirms 6 a.m.-midnight hours, a voyage-long unlimited option, booking advice, and three treatments that include thermal access.
Virgin's September 28 policy spells out current rules for privacy-sensitive recording, personal speakers, hate symbols, exposure, alcohol, and enforcement.
The official page does not publish a line-by-line change log, so Fruglar summarizes the current rules without claiming that every item was newly introduced on September 28.
Virgin expects Valiant Lady to dock around 4 p.m., with disembarkation around 5 p.m. and embarkation shifted to Sunday evening or Monday morning.
The next voyage now sails around noon Sept. 28 and keeps one Bermuda day instead of an overnight. Virgin is giving each affected embarking Sailor $200 non-refundable Sailor Loot plus a $200 future-voyage credit.
New terms clarify bid deadlines, immediate payment, limited refunds, cabin assignments, and how the original VoyageFair Choice carries into most upgrades.
Sailors can generally change or cancel an unaccepted bid until 72 hours before departure; Virgin says the outcome arrives no later than 48 hours before sailing.
New-to-Virgin travelers with qualifying airline, hotel, or cruise status can apply for one-time Blue Extras on their first eligible sailing.
Virgin announced the offer while celebrating two million Sailors. Apply and make the new booking by October 31, 2026; the broader loyalty-perk horizon now runs through 2028.
Virgin has published the full sailing-by-sailing list: 59 eligible departures with exact Texas resident discounts of 5%, 10%, or 15% through July 2027.
The guide includes every date, ship, itinerary, published savings percentage, and a direct Gold Tier First Mate booking link for that exact departure.
Archived September 18 terms covering 23 named Brilliant Lady LA and Panama Canal departures; Virgin replaced the offer on October 1.
Use the October update above for the current Caribbean Sale credit tiers and October 22 booking deadline.
All four Lady Ships will meet February 16, 2027 at 22°12'57"N, 77°16'07"W—38 nautical miles north of Cuba.

Virgin's current card page now advertises a 60,000-point welcome offer after $4,000 in purchases during the first 90 days.
That is 10,000 points below the September 15 headline. The card carries a $99 annual fee, and Virgin does not publish an end date for the current offer.
Virgin's updated casino terms say current tier status runs through April 30, 2027 and point balances restarted May 1, 2026, while keeping five published reward tiers.
One lower terms bullet still shows the prior earning-year dates. Fruglar flags the conflict and recommends confirming cycle-sensitive benefits before changing a casino-rate booking.
Virgin's refreshed Sitka guide now confirms three featured Shore Things spanning culture, photography, wildlife, marine life, and a salmon tasting.
Read the Sitka planning note →Virgin now marks the select $79-$99/ppn Lock It In and up-to-$400 onboard-credit offer expired after its September 10 deadline.
The broader offer remains current: up to $1,000 in instant savings plus 70% off a second Sailor on eligible bookings through November 2.
The October 9 evening board loses the $89 transatlantic card; Bermuda & Caribbean now sets the visible floor.
The October 10 Mexican Riviera and October 11 transatlantic cards no longer render. Virgin has not said that means either voyage is canceled or rerouted.
The live board now shows eight departures across five itinerary names, still with a $110/ppn Mexican Riviera floor.
Archived August 29 context. Use the September 1 route above for the latest live-board snapshot.
The new official episode pairs Alaska Crab & Craft at George Inlet Lodge with the Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour and bald-eagle viewing.
Both are Exclusive-tier, small-capacity Shore Things. Virgin recommends reserving when the Sailor App booking window opens and preparing for rain and mist.
The evening board now shows seven departures across four itinerary names, still with a $110/ppn Mexican Riviera floor.
Archived evening context. Use the September 1 note above for the current seven-departure board.
The official checklist connects app check-in, terminal arrival times, priority boarding, dining help, Wi-Fi, muster, and Ship Eats ordering.
Virgin recommends completing app check-in two weeks ahead and says eligible priority slots appear in the app. The guide is new today; it does not say the app launched today.
Inside Passage Episode 1 confirms new naturalist and heritage-guide roles, Headphones & Horizons, and Brilliant Lady's cold-weather viewing changes.
Virgin says the ship covers roughly 500 protected Inside Passage miles on day one and recommends reserving the new Happenings session early in the Sailor App.

The new Ahoy roundup gathers 2027 and 2028 options across Alaska, Mexico, Europe, the Caribbean, Baltics, and Panama Canal.
The page combines routes from multiple prior releases, so Fruglar treats it as a useful planning roundup—not as proof that every named itinerary launched today.
Virgin's official guide sorts 33 current Shore Things into relaxing, adventurous, energetic, and cultured ways to build a Dominican Republic port day.
Two experiences are explicitly labeled new this season, while conservation, local co-op, cooking, beach, waterfall, and snorkeling options make the broader list more useful than a greatest-hits roundup.
Virgin's official report puts fresh numbers behind its four-ship fleet, ocean and waste programs, destination partnerships, and 6,500-person shipboard Crew.
The company reports 135+ destinations, 190+ awards, 97% of onboard water made at sea, and more than 11,472 volunteer hours across 25 countries. A new official video follows its Crew-led Impact Squad in Alaska and Canada.

Virgin Voyages is running 70% off the 2nd Sailor through April 30, and this archived fare set covers Caribbean, Panama Canal, transatlantic, and Mediterranean sailings starting at $89 per person, per night.
One important detail before you chase the cheapest fare: most of the lowest prices in this roundup are Lock It In rates. That's where the best pricing usually lives, but it comes with tradeoffs, so it's worth understanding before you book.
Virgin Voyages is going all-in on AI with a fleet-wide Google Cloud partnership, deploying over 50 AI agents across booking, onboard service, dining, and crew operations.
Having sailed Virgin multiple times, we can say this isn't a surprise — they already run the most tech-forward ships we've been on. Here's what this partnership means for your next sailing.
Read the full article →The listed start date has arrived for Virgin Voyages' inaugural Stuff at Sea cruise, a five-night New York-to-Bermuda sailing built around Stuff You Should Know and two companion podcasts.
The article now separates the confirmed onboard lineup from what Virgin has not announced: there is no second Stuff at Sea date or future On Air at Sea schedule yet.
Read the full article →Virgin Voyages will launch Ariya, a modern Indian dining concept, on Valiant Lady in May 2026. The addition expands VV's already impressive restaurant lineup — and adds a cuisine category that's been notably absent from the fleet.
No buffets, no cover charges — just another sit-down restaurant joining one of the most unique dining experiences at sea. Here's what we know about Ariya.
Read the full article →Brilliant Lady completed its first transit of the Panama Canal on March 26, 2026 — a milestone for Virgin Voyages as the ship repositions ahead of its inaugural Los Angeles season. The Canal crossing marked a first for the fleet.
The Brilliant Lady is now homeporting in LA, opening up Mexican Riviera and Pacific itineraries that no other Virgin Voyages ship has sailed.
Read the full article →Virgin has now placed the February 16, 2027 fleet rendezvous at 22°12'57"N, 77°16'07"W, 38 nautical miles north of Cuba.
Four sailings, 5 to 10 nights, converge for fleet-wide pool celebrations and live entertainment. Culinary specials, new acts, and more day-of details are still to come.
Read the full article →9 brand-new itineraries across two homeports. Panama Canal crossings that sell out every year. The only adults-only Mexican Riviera sailings in the market. And Caribbean options from short escapes to full 10-night immersions.
Plus: Sailing Club members get $100 in Bar Tab credit on qualifying bookings — but only until April 2. Here's what's worth booking first, and why the Canal crossings can't wait.
Read the full article →If you have flexibility on dates and itinerary, VV's weekly sale can be one of the strongest value lanes in luxury cruising. Near-term Lock It In fares need to be compared against the live second-Sailor offer before you book.

Read the full guide →Every Wednesday, Virgin Voyages drops discounted fares on select upcoming sailings — real reductions with real deadlines. Miss the Sunday expiry and the rate is gone, usually for good.
Find out which cabin types qualify, what usually stacks, what does not, and exactly how to move fast without mixing up reduced-rate cabins and broader promo offers.
Read the full guide →Lock It In is usually one of Virgin Voyages' cheapest fare types, but it is a guarantee fare: you pick the minimum category, Virgin assigns the exact cabin later, and cancellation flexibility is limited.
Read this before grabbing the lowest fare. It explains Lock It In vs standard fares, the 15-day dining window, cabin assignment tradeoffs, who should book it, and who should avoid it.
Read the Virgin Voyages Lock It In rate guide ->Every VV fare includes 20+ specialty restaurants, Wi-Fi, group fitness, and all entertainment — no cover charges, no daily add-ons, no loyalty tier to unlock. VV calls it "Always Included."
We break down everything that IS included, what ISN'T (gratuities, alcohol, spa), and how the real all-in cost compares to traditional cruise lines — with an honest take on when VV's model wins.

Red Hot Sailing Club Voyages are exclusive to Virgin Voyages Sailing Club members — the VV loyalty program for repeat sailors. If you haven't sailed with Virgin Voyages yet, your first voyage earns you entry into the Sailing Club.

The 2027 Red Hot sailings are shaping up to be the standout events of VV's year.

That's a trip worth planning 16 months in advance. The November Miami sailing on Valiant Lady is the one to watch for fall travelers.
