7 Nights Portsmouth To Amsterdam & Bordeaux Cruise

Luxury and PARTIES!!

As soon as you board the ship you understand that Virgin Voyages is head and shoulders above all the other cruise lines! Virgin is made for adults only for those of us that do not wish to cruise with anyone under the age of 18 yrs. of age. As soon as you step aboard one is greeted by the very friendly and energetic crew! They welcome you warmly and excitedly! Virgin has a party like disembarkation and the champagne flows as you get underway! It is always fun on these cruises! We have taken three so far and we even put a deposit down on our next cruise which we plan on taking in November aboard the Brilliant Lady that will be taking her maiden voyage in September! The Dining is INCREDIBLE!! All of the restaurants are included in the price you pay and the food is EXCELLENT at each restaurant at which we have eaten! Since we have taken three cruises so far we have been able to try each restaurant the ships offer! The service is BEYOND compare! The room stewards are always very friendly an attentive! The crew at Sailor Services are so friendly and professional and knowledgeable. The Spa is So very luxurious and relaxing! We HIGHLY recommend the Thermal Package and or the couples package called "Splash of Romance"! If you can't get the Splash of Romance you can purchase individual days or multiple days in the spa to take advantage of the steam room that always has a hint of eucalyptus, then the salt room helps you relax; then on to the mudroom where you will rub mud all over yourself and relax in the steamy mud room after which you will rinse yourself off and can take in the sauna before going into the cold plunge pool before going into the relaxation pool and finally the hot tub! AHHH!! We always book the Sea Terrace or Sea Terrace XL and enjoy the hammock on the terrace! That's right! I said Hammock on the Terrace!! The entertainment is top quality with exciting performers and breathtaking shows! I just can't say enough about Virgin Voyages!! We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Virgin and we will NOT sail another Cruise Line! Virgin Voyages MUST be experienced! I could write a million words and it would not do justice to the quality of the crew, food, entertainment and over all facilities aboard any of the luxurious ladies of Virgin Voyages! Come and join my wife and me!! See you on YOUR next voyage!!

First Time Virgin Cruisers

My wife and I just got back from our first Virgin cruise and I must say we had a very nice time aboard the Scarlet Lady. We had previously cruised on other cruise lines and we wanted to give Virgin a try since they have no kids on board. The quality of food on the ship was very good especially Pink Agave which was our favorite. The Wake was also very good for dinner and we did brunch there as well (twice). The entertainment was very good and we spent more than a few nights at On The Rocks listening to the singers they had on board. The Blues singer was our favorite. We had a lot of laughs at Bingo with the Diva which was very popular with the other cruisers on board as well. The pool party at Bimini was a lot of fun with the cast members providing the entertainment. My wife and I enjoyed our first time experience so much with Virgin that we already booked a cruise to Greece in 2026.

Overall Great First Virgin Voyages Cruise

This was our first cruise with Virgin Voyages (we’ve done other cruise lines). Our group was six adult family members, two of which were advanced seniors. Overall experience was great! Pros outweighed cons. Cons were small pool sizes - pools got pretty crowded. The pros were plentiful! The food quality and versatile dining experience was just fabulous! Props and a big thank you to Shane, an asst. food manager and amazing host at The Test Kitchen, and Liezelle, our outstanding waitress and server – she made us feel so welcomed! All the folks working on the Scarlet Lady were nice. From the Galley to the entertainment. Cecil, the ship’s stage vocalist, was a total WOW! What a voice! Our room stewards were all good. Kudos to the designer that realized showers need hot water and water pressure – Scarlet Lady was the best ever! Lastly, we really enjoyed Scarlet Night! Be sure to bring something red to wear! A great cruise for adults that don't travel with children.
