- Status: The 2026 Eat & Drink Festival ended September 28; Virgin converted the official page to a past-tense lookback on October 1.
- What remains confirmed: The archive documents refreshed offerings at The Wake and The Dock alongside Sailor favorites.
- Festival lineup: The 2026 program included small sensory dinners, Color Me Curious, a reworked speakeasy, and Malt + Method beer tastings.
- What is not announced: Virgin says to watch for what comes next, but has not published 2027 festival dates or confirmed every festival dish as a permanent fleetwide menu item.
Virgin Voyages' official Festival of Senses page now looks back on the 2026 event instead of selling a current festival window. Its October 1 copy says the festival brought Sailors a mix of sensory dining, secret-speakeasy programming, and refreshed restaurant offerings, then directs readers to watch for what comes next.
The archive still highlights The Wake and The Dock, describing new plates alongside Sailor favorites. It does not publish a complete ship-by-ship menu or say that every festival dish remains permanent, so Fruglar is preserving the menu news without presenting the expired event as bookable.
The 2026 program also included 18-to-20-seat sensory dinners at The Wake, Color Me Curious at Extra Virgin, the reimagined Shhh… Speakeasy, and the 60-minute Malt + Method beer tasting. Those are historical festival details, not confirmed 2027 programming.
Virgin describes a more theatrical menu experience with new dishes and familiar favorites.
The relaxed outdoor venue receives new plates while keeping its casual, grazing-friendly identity.

Virgin's official page now clearly treats the event as the most recent festival and says more is still to come. It does not publish a next-edition date or confirm a permanent fleetwide rollout for every festival item.
