Creator's Key Takeaways

For Virgin voyagers is very much about being straight up and fair in terms of their pricing and in terms of their flexibility in tickets but also in terms of the inclusions

It's about delivering a set of choices we actually consider ourselves a well-being brand and we invite our Sailors to kind of create their own holiday experience

You don't have to be a vegetarian to go in there you can come in and have a meat free evening

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack a small wheelie case or sturdy rucksack with essentials (passports, meds, chargers, swimwear) for the first few hours on board.
Do a walk-around when you first board to identify key locations at the front and back of the ship to help with navigation.
Instead of heading straight to the buffet on boarding day, try the à la carte restaurant for a more relaxed start.
