Virgin Voyages’ 2025–2026 calendar isn’t just another set of cruises — it’s a lineup of Immersive Sailings, each one built around a different theme. From spooky Halloween escapes to reggaetón-fueled nights at sea, from true crime adventures in the Caribbean to New Year resets focused on wellness and sun, every voyage brings its own personality and story to tell. Here’s a glimpse of what’s on deck.
Costumes, Cocktails &
No Kids in Sight
Every October, Halloween Voyages take over the fleet with their signature Virgin twist: no kids, just treats. Picture live bands in costume, decked-out DJ nights, a grog walk that roams the ship and a Happenings Cast performance that leans into the spooky-fun vibe. It’s playful, immersive and elevated — the kind of party where you might forget you’re on a ship … until the next port shows up.
Halloween Voyage
A Caribbean Whodunit: True Crime at Sea
This fall, one of Virgin’s most buzzed-about voyages debuts: a five-night True Crime sailing from Miami, where real-life mystery meets the comfort of your Sea Terrace. Onboard Valiant Lady, podcast stars from Betrayal, Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know and Buried Bones take the mic for live tapings and exclusive sessions. Themed trivia, eerie cocktails and Halloween energy fill the days between stops in Puerto Plata and Bimini.
Nicky Jam’s Floating Festival
In December 2025, Virgin adds serious rhythm to the calendar with Olas de Fuego, a Latin music voyage curated and headlined by reggaetón icon Nicky Jam. Departing from San Juan and calling on St. Lucia, Antigua, Curaçao, Aruba and St. Maarten, this eight-night sailing transforms the ship into a full-scale musical event. Expect live performances, pop-up DJ sets, artist meetups and a vibe that never dips below fiesta. It’s big, it’s bold and it’s very Virgin.

January Reimagined:
Well-Being Season
For three weeks in January 2026, wellness takes center stage. The Well-Being Season invites you to start the year differently — with sunrise yoga, HIIT sessions, spa rituals, clean menus and mindfulness workshops offered daily across select Caribbean itineraries. It’s all included, never pushy and woven seamlessly into your time on board.
A Laugh-Filled Atlantic: Comedy Fest 2026
Virgin’s floating comedy club returns with two 2026 editions: one sailing from New York to Bermuda in April and another in August from Portsmouth to Amsterdam, Bruges and Hamburg. Blending headliners with rising stars, these Comedy Festival Voyages serve up stand-up in an intimate, festival-style format — with all the extras of a five-star cruise around it.
Flavor Without Borders: Eat & Drink Festival Returns
From September to November 2026, Virgin’s award-winning Eat & Drink Festival brings gourmet creativity to sailings across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, UK and Alaska. Expect guest chefs, tasting menus, wine pairings and plant-based menus designed to impress even the most seasoned travelers. Each ship gets its own twist, but the mission stays the same: food that surprises, delights and never costs extra.

Valentine's Day Voyage
For Lovers, Families

March’s exclusive Red Hot Sailing Club Voyage honors Virgin’s most loyal guests with a high-energy celebration headlined by Nile Rodgers & CHIC and joined by the CEO himself.
