Virgin Voyages has redefined the world of cruise ship entertainment with its fleet of ladyships, including the recent launch of Resilient Lady, Scarlet Lady, and Valiant Lady.
From ground-breaking performances to innovative entertainment concepts, Virgin Voyages offers an adult-centric, boundary-pushing experience at sea. Here’s a detailed look at what entertainment is offered on Virgin Voyages and what guests can expect onboard these magnificent ships.
Theatrical Brilliance on the High Seas
Diverse and Inclusive Entertainment
Virgin Voyages has crafted its entertainment roster by drawing inspiration from an exceptionally talented pool of performers and creative teams to create a series of shows that focus on diversity in races, genders, and body types; their casting is commendable and enhances the authenticity of the performances.
The main stages onboard their ships, The Manor and The Red Room, are designed to immerse guests in the heart of the action, offering a unique and more intimate viewing experience than other cruise lines.
Headline Shows That Push Boundaries
Persephone: A Battle of the Gods – Resilient Lady
Shows like “Persephone,” an enthralling take on the Greek myth, feature dazzling performances with a modern twist. Adult themes, racy content, and the sheer talent of the cast make these shows unrivalled on the high seas. Virgin Voyages’ commitment to boundary-pushing entertainment is evident in every aspect of their productions.
Dual Reality: A modern take on Romeo and Juliet – Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady
Dual Reality is a modern take on West Side Story meets Romeo and Juliet, performed by a cast of incredible circus performers; the Blue and Red sides face each other in death-defying acrobatics in the quest to pursue the heart’s true desire despite prejudices.
Supper Club Series of events: Another Rose – Resilient Lady
Virgin has also led ahead with their Supper Club series of events, with Another Rose onboard Resilient Lady. This show does carry an extra charge, at the time of writing that was $50pp, but includes a four-course meal, a generous serving of cocktails, and sparking Rose.
It’s a tale of following your heart, trusting the person you love, and embracing the heart’s more carnal desires.
Nightlife and Clubbing on Virgin Voyages
The Manor: A Hub of Nightlife
The Manor epitomises Virgin Voyages’ approach to nightlife. We vote it the best nightclub at sea, and rivals some of best on land too.
With themed nights across your voyage, such as Club Rubix, a celebration of the 80s; We Fancy, a rallying cry to celebrate the fancy in all of us; and Heartbeat, a groovy nightclub experience elevated beyond the ordinary where events may happen at any moment, and you are never sure what may happen next.
The engagement of the Happenings Cast during micro-performances throughout these themed nights adds an interactive element, ensuring each night is a unique experience. They also ensure you are never the first person on the dancefloor each evening, ensuring each night gets off to a flying start; there are no awkward cruise ship nightclubs here on Virgin Voyages.
Scarlet Night: The Ultimate Party
Scarlet Night, the highlight of any Virgin Voyage, is a shipwide celebration and stands as the pinnacle of Virgin Voyages’ nightlife offerings. This event blends games, theatre, and music in an exhilarating crescendo of entertainment, culminating on the ship’s pool deck with a spirited party that continues well into the night.
There is a tragic love story that is woven throughout Scarlet Night, a tale of an octopus goddess and how she fell in love with a man from the surface. We celebrate that love story on Scarlet Night, with the story unfolding through a series of events across the ship.
Daytime Activities: More Than Just Relaxation
A Hub of Daytime Engagement
Beyond the spectacular evening entertainment, Virgin Voyages offers an array of daytime activities. The ships cater to various interests, from fitness classes and live music to spa treatments. With its chilled-out vibe, the pool deck serves as a central hub for daytime relaxation and socialising.
There are several optional classes and quizzes to choose from, but even these all have a Virgin Voyage spin on them. Drinks classes such as Shot for Shot, where you learn how to make cocktails with your hosts, the Foodie and The Spark, to Bingo with a twist, Bingo with the Diva, there’s no cookie-cutter entertainment board Virgin Voyages.
Innovative Spaces
Unique offerings like Richard’s Rooftop provide exclusive, serene spaces for suite guests, while the ship’s bars and lounges offer an array of ambiences to suit every mood. The diversity in daytime programming ensures that guests have a plethora of options to choose from, whether they seek relaxation or engagement.
Unique Features of Virgin Voyages Entertainment
Squid Ink: The First Tattoo Parlour at Sea
Virgin Voyages is home to Squid Ink, the first tattoo parlour at sea, offering a way for sailors to commemorate their voyage. The popularity of this innovative addition is a testament to Virgin Voyages’ ability to think outside the box and offer unique experiences to their sailors.
Professional tattoo artists take regular seasons onboard the ship, and offer not only quick reference tattoos to choose from, but can also create personalised designs for you.
Fitness and Wellness: A Focus on Wellbeing
