REVIVE. RENEW. RETOX.
Whether your idea of relaxation is a sun salutation or a hot stone massage, you're about to get it OMMM (lol we know). A cross between a week spent in Bali and 2 hours at a cafe in Amsterdam, Redemption spa is a haven of tranquility and self-preservation. Get dirty in the mud room, let the sauna cleanse you, or spend an entire afternoon floating from hot stone massage to seaweed wrap until you've aged backwards.
REDEMPTION SPA
If vacation for you isn't complete without the ultimate form of self-care (hi, us too), our spa will be your second home. From massages so good they'll make you question life itself, to a mud room that will revilatalise your soul and body, we call it Redemption for a reason. Redeem yourself from last night, last month or last year... or just redeem yourself because you want to. You earned this.
FEATURES
Tailor-made treatments
Authentic hammam steam room
Chill in the thermal zone
Mud and salt rooms

FRIDAY DRINKS WITH VIRGIN VOYAGES I'm sure many of you are still enjoying some down time from Christmas and New Year celebrations with family and friends, so I'm sure there is still time to enjoy a nice cold beverage. So, because if this I think it's important that you all know where the 5 best spots for having a drink on our Lady Ships!
EPIC SEA CHANGE FOR ALL - VIRGIN VOYAGES We’re on a mission to create an Epic Sea Change for All with our crew, the partners we love, our Sailors who leave transformed for the better, and communities, oceans and environments that are truly cared for. Adult-by-Design This holiday is just for those 18 and over. No kidding. (See what we did there?) With elevated experiences curated with adults in mind, we’ve created a place where only your Sailors’ inner-child will be roaming free. Relaxed Luxe We’ve ditched buffets and pre-set dining times to bring your Sailors fresh flavors and unexpected pairings with made-to-order food from our 20+ unique eateries—all included. Dine on churrasco steak and lemon cheesecake at The Wake, mezze-style bites and glasses of rosé in the open air of The Dock, or get your crew together for a lively Korean BBQ free-for-all at Gunbae—all with views of the waves. No stuffiness, just premium service and endless options—all On Us. Ordinary to Extraordinary We didn’t just build a cruise, we set out to create a revolutionary way to explore the world. From longer stays and overnights at ports, to diverse entertainment and dining experiences, your Sailors will never want to sail any other way. Plus, all of our voyages always include over $600 in extras, like dining at 20+ unique eateries, WiFi, group fitness classes, tips, and essential drinks. Boutique Glamour Combining the luxury of a yacht with the diverse options of a larger ship, our Creative Collective designed an environment that inspires personal and experiential connection — spaces where the sea is always front and center. Whether you’re living large in a Tom Dixon-designed suite or taking in the views from a Sea Terrace, technology and sustainability are all around; tinted windows, LED lighting, eco-sensors, and thoughtfully-sourced materials are just a few of the design choices that help our ship use less energy, without sacrificing style.
All set for the Travellers Choice National Conference. Looking forward to catching up with all of their members today.
From the buzzing streets of Marseilles and the locally-sourced wine in Cannes, to basking in the sun at one of Olbia’s famed white-sand beaches and dancing the night away under the stars in Ibiza (because yes, we’re staying the night), there are few places more awe-inspiring than the Med. Beginning in picturesque Barcelona, our seven-night French Daze & Ibiza Nights voyage offers something for every explorer, whether your Sailors are interested in bountiful history or breathtaking beaches…or both.

Resilient Lady
Resilient Lady’s strong and stunning mermaid is officially here. Created by the exceptional artist Jodie Herrera our new mermaid represents strength and resilience — capturing the essence of a woman who knows exactly who she is and what she wants, no matter the obstacle. Throughout Herrera’s career, her work has focused on connecting and uplifting women by highlighting feminist issues, with each story portraying remarkable people who have perservered throughout their lives. And Resilient Lady’s mermaid is no different. A hero of the seas who is courageous, curious, and..resilient 💪 Clik the link to learn more the inspiration behind bringing our Resilient Lady to life 🚢🧜🏽♀️ https://virg.in/4HoA 🎥 IG/chromaj
And a truly epic partnership was born. Did… we just say Jennifer Lopez? Yep. We did. #micdrop When it comes to game-changing icons, she’s the definition. So when we decided to change the ceremonial role of Godmother into a truly modern relationship that could shape the future of travel, there was only one person for the job… Jennifer Lopez. So in the spirit of redefining nautical tradition, we’re ditching the term “Godmother”, and instead calling her exactly what she is — Investor and Chief Entertainment and Lifestyle Officer — partnering with us to create the most epic travel experience possible. With Jennifer Lopez on deck, the glamor, the energy, and the creativity just amped up, and we have unbelievable plans on the horizon. In fact, stay tuned on Friday for the start of something (very) big.
Ever wondered if something can taste as good as it looks (and sounds)? Sail with us to The Beach Club at Bimini and find out 🍹😎
