Sailor Guide
Everything a first-time Virgin sailor needs — what's included, how dining works, dress code, and tips from someone who's sailed them.
What's included on Virgin Voyages?
Gratuities, basic Wi-Fi, fitness classes, and 20+ restaurants are included. You won't find a traditional buffet or main dining room — instead, book specialty restaurants (included) through the app.
How does dining work?
Reserve restaurants in the Virgin Voyages app before you sail. Popular spots like Pink Agave and The Test Kitchen fill up fast — book on day one. The Galley is walk-in anytime.
Dress code
Virgin is casual-smart. No formal nights, no tuxedos. Pack for warm weather ports and one nicer outfit for The Wake steakhouse.
Alan's first-timer tips
- Download the app before embarkation and link your booking
- Book restaurants immediately — don't wait until you're on board
- Sea Terrace is the sweet spot for value; RockStar if you're celebrating
- Arrive a day early for Miami/Barcelona sailings — flights can be unpredictable
- Text me on WhatsApp if you have questions during the voyage
