Creator's Key Takeaways
This is a gifted trip from Virgin. So, thank you to them. However, there are no stipulations on what we must say.
Arya brings flavors from across India to Virgin Voyages, inspired by everything from traditional street food to regional dishes from around the country.
I think it has cemented itself as our favorite restaurant across the ships.
We would come into this restaurant just for the cheesecake.
