What is the Happenings Cast onboard Virgin Voyages?

What is the happenings cast onboard Virgin Voyages

Virgin Voyages has redefined the traditional roles of Cruise Director and Cruise Staff, introducing a new concept known as the Happenings Cast. But, What is the Happenings Cast onboard Virgin Voyages?

This dynamic team of 12 exceptional individuals is dedicated to ensuring sailors have an extraordinary experience on their voyage. As you step aboard, the Happenings Cast will be among the first to greet you, setting the tone for an unforgettable journey. Let’s delve into who these cast members are and how they contribute to the unique Virgin Voyages experience.

Each cast member focuses on a specific topic or theme they are experts in, passing on that passion and knowledge to you, the Sailors, throughout the entire voyage. Whether it’s an art class, hosting a show, offering food recommendations, or leading a bar crawl, Happenings make everything come alive on board. The best way to meet the team is at the sail-away party when they introduce themselves to everyone.

Bringing Individuality to Cruise Entertainment

Each member of The Happenings Cast focuses on a specific topic or theme. These clearly defined roles break down many of the duties typically covered by the Entertainment crew on other cruise lines. However, on Virgin Voyages, the Happenings Cast fully embraces these personalities, making it easier for you to connect with the cast member who shares your interests.

They are experts in their chosen topics and will always be the life of the party when you are sailing with Virgin Voyages.
